Happy Spring to everyone!

I would like to thank Pat Bigger and her committee for another successful wine tasting this past March.  We raised over $19,000 at the event.  Our donations committee will now be reviewing donations requests.

Year-end gathering change in date and location:   I had to change the date of the year-end casual gathering   to May 31st at Barbara Humphreys’ home (371 Grove Street, located on Damon Way) at 7:30 pm.  Please mark your calendars for this new date and location.  Please RSVP to Barb at Barbhumphreys1@comcast.net and I will assign either wine or an appetizer.  We are not doing a dinner so I don’t need reservations weeks in advance.  I am hoping to get a good crowd to celebrate another successful year of our club (and my last year as president).

Thanks to Kristen Jervey for organizing the egg hunt this year (skipping the breakfast part this year) and also to Maria Johnson for donating the candy for the eggs.  Kristen had a great turnout and the kids were excited to have the egg hunt at the middle school!

I will also be hosting a Facebook /Twitter class this Thursday night at 7:30 for $10 per person.  Reiko Beach will be giving us all the details about these social networks, including the important security settings.  Come and learn how these networks affect our children’s college and job application process.

Would anyone be able to step up as next year’s president?   It’s a great way to give back to the community and meet many great people that you may not have had contact with due to different aged children.  We are open to any fundraising ideas to change things up too!
Sincerely,

Barb Humphreys, President, Norwell Woman’s Club

WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT???

A big THANK YOU to Barb Humphreys for her efforts and dedication over the past two years.   She has been a fantastic

FACEBOOK CLASS WITH REIKO – MAY 3 – 7:30pmOn May 3rd, Reiko Beach will host a class about Social Media for parents and teens to include Facebook and Twitter at Barbara Humphreys’ home this Thursday at 7:30 pm.  For just $10 per family Reiko will teach us the details on Facebook such as privacy settings, deleting messages, and how companies/college can access your account to get a better feel about you. What is Twitter, how it is being used by teens and what you need to know about it.  Your children may be posting things that can adversely affect them without even knowing it.  The internet is great but it broadens our world beyond Norwell.  Bring your child, husband, or friend to get these important details.  For more information, please contact Reiko at reiko@TRBDesigns.com

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE UPDATE
The Women’s Club is proud to offer their continued support of High school scholarships.  The committee has been at work adding to existing members that will complement the review process. Students will be submitting their applications/essays this week, with the committee beginning their reviews in the next few weeks. The scholarships are available to any eligible senior in Norwell that will be continuing their education. Checks are given after the Club receives students’ first semester grades. The committee is comprised of several Club members who may/may not have children in the Norwell school system. For the first time this year, formal guidelines will be used (adapted from the English Language Arts MCAS guidelines) to “grade” essays and to enhance the process of maintaining objectivity when reviewing the submissions. The success of many of our Club sponsored events (Wine Tasting, Fashion Show) help to determine the number of scholarships awarded. Recipients will be announced at the beginning of May. The Committee will then look forward to recognizing these honorable seniors at our upcoming end of the year festivities.
Hat’s off to our Seniors!
