WOMEN’S CLUB OF GREATER LAKEWAY
July/August, 2010 – Bulletin Board
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.

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.

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!

SING ALONG
Sing Along is
on summer break from weekly practices but we are still very active. We
took "Sing Along Goes Texas" on the road on May 27th by performing at
Vista Oaks, The Summit, and Grace House. After these performances, 64
of the members met at the Iron Cactus for happy hour. We were so very
well received that we plan to go on the road again on July 8th with the
same venues but different songs, followed by another happy hour for the
entire group.
Sing Along
rehearsals are scheduled to start up again on Sept 9th when we start
preparing for our Green Santa Christmas show that will be held on Dec
5th.
