Happy 2011 Members!
The Ten X Club hosted a grand opening fashion show and silent auction on December 9th and have donated the proceeds of $588 from that evening! (I went in to ask for a Turkey Trot donation that Family Fitness always had given and in addition to my request, I was also told that they wanted to donate the proceeds to their grand opening!). We are grateful for their amazing donation and for thinking of the Women’s Club! The wine tasting committee is well underway planning the April 8th “Raise a Glass to Charity” wine tasting dinner at Black Rock Country Club in Hingham. See below for committee details. I wanted to stress that if you have connections to a business and think they may be willing to donate a silent auction item to contact Pat Bigger or Jane Rohan. I guarantee you will not be placed on the committee. I have already received 2 silent auction items by just asking the business that I frequent and many don’t think twice to donate to increase their local exposure. The dance committee is looking for volunteers for this Friday’s dance at the Town Hall at 7:30 pm. We have already raised $3,000 in just 3 dances so far this year so it would be great to keep hosting these dances. Contact Anna Brown at annacbrown@comcast.net or Adrienne Vavpetic at adrienne.vavpetic@comcast.net if you can volunteer. Thanks Anna and Adrienne for your great work! Please contact Jessica Chase to pay your $30 membership dues (email her at jmchase2@comcast.net if you aren’t sure if you have paid yet since it’s easy to forget.). Currently only 43 out of 98 members have paid. We appreciate your continued membership since these dues add up and help the club raise money for all the local charities and schools. Just by being a member you are helping us raise our funds!
