PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE I am so excited to be the next President of the Women’s Club of Greater Lakeway for 2010-2011! You are such a great organization of ladies, and I am truly honored to be your leader. This is YOUR Club, and the Officers, the Board, and I are counting on each of you to work with us to make this a rewarding and fun-filled year.
Special Thanks to Sharon Rogers, our 2009/2010 Special Events Chair, for providing us with the outstanding Installation Luncheon that was enjoyed by all. The food was superb, the entertainment was very entertaining, and the decorations with the beautiful flower arrangements high over our tables were a beautiful sight to see. I thoroughly enjoyed the day along with my two daughters Kandy Britton from Louisburg, Kansas, and Kapryce Doherty from Round Rock, Texas, who together delivered the invocation.
I’ve chosen what I think is a dynamite Board for our Women’s Club 25th Anniversary Year, and we all need to express our appreciation to the following ladies for agreeing to serve as Chairwomen of the Standing Committees for 2010/2011. These ladies will be the ones working “behind the scenes” to provide the Women’s Club an outstanding and enjoyable year. The Board Chairs are: Membership – Iva Fields; Bulletin Board – Carol Roettinger; Community Liaison – Suzie Leggio; Historian – Vickie Taylor; Yearbook – Kim Nearburg and LaNell Edwards; Special Events – Sue Heilig and Barbara Beebe; Hospitality – Kitty Lichty and Sue Wilsey; Publicity – Gretchen Nearburg; Social – Leanne DuPay and Mary Lee Reese; and 4th of July Float – Delores Dolezal. Many Thanks to these ladies for accepting their positions on the Board.
Don’t forget to send in your dues of $30.00 to Iva Fields, our Membership Chairwoman, by August 15th to guarantee your name in the Yearbook/Directory. Kim Nearburg is working hard to set up our Women’s Club website, and she will be giving you more information about this new WC feature at a later date.
Sue Heilig and her helpers have been busy planning and working on our WC 4th of July Float for the annual Lakeway 4th Parade. The theme of the parade this year is: “Military Service – A Family Affair”. I’m sure Sue’s creativeness and talents will produce a meaningful, heart-warming and “winning float” for WC.
Again, let me thank you all for allowing me to serve as your President - I promise to do my best to carry on the tradition of Women’s Club, as the Founding Members had dreamed of: “A Club to promote Social, Cultural and Intellectual Growth to be enjoyed and appreciated by the Women of Lakeway”.
Enjoy your summer, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you all in September. Remember, Kitty Lichty and Sue Wilsey have lots of new ideas for our monthly Luncheons, and to kick-off the new year, the September Luncheon will be featuring Tea Room Modeling for our enjoyment. Jody Berry - President
2ND VICE PRESIDENT – SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS We have many Special Interest Groups to enjoy next year and each is lead by a chairman or by co-chairman committed to planning exciting events each month. We all hope you will look at the large variety of interests represented in the Women’s Club SIG groups and choose one or more that match activities you enjoy. Each month we will publish the list of all the groups and the name of the person to call if you are interested in joining at any time during the year. Please feel to contact any of us with questions. You may have a concept for a new Special Interest Group. If you would like to share your ideas, please contact me by phone or email. We are always looking to expand the activities that Women’s Club provides to its members. Nancy Clayton 261-7759 nclayton@trane.com
COMMUNITY LIAISON SCHOLARSHIP
As reported last month, our membership donated $3,140.00 to the Lake Travis Education Foundation (LTEF) for the Women's Club of Greater Lakeway Scholarship. Our scholarship was awarded to Haley Aydam, an outstanding senior at Lake Travis High School, who will be attending Texas Tech University in the Fall. President, Janet Eaddy, and Community Liaison, Jane Benasutti, attended a reception hosted by LTEF honoring our recipient. We are very proud to have been involved in this very worthwhile project.
HOSPITALITY: September Luncheon The Women’s Club of Lakeway meeting and luncheon for September will be Monday, the 27th in the Vista Ballroom of the Lakeway Inn and Spa Resort. Coffee will be served at 9:30 am with the meeting at 10:00am. During the past two years, we have all enjoyed the travel themes. This year the themes will be coordinated around the speaker, other luncheon activities or seasonal events. So, get ready!! During the luncheon in September, Dillards will provide a preview of our October Fashion Show. Several of our club ladies will saunter through the crowd doing “Tea Room Modeling” while they wear the latest fashions. Should be a fun time!
