President's Corner...
Our April General Meeting was a wonderful day with a large group of members and guests and our speaker, Mike Fleming of WREC AM 600. His inspiring presentation of the politics of our city and county and of the Presidential contests was welcomed by our members and guests with a standing ovation! Mike is a favorite talk show host in our area, and he certainly was a hit.
Shirley Henderson and Barbara Dodge did an outstanding job of explaining the political
situation involving the rules for clubs for donating money to candidates. We are especially grateful
to those who contributed to the Iris Fund in order to get money to the Republican candidates
running for office in Tennessee.
Thank you to all who brought guests and are participating in the “One Plus One” program initiated by the NFRW.
We would also like to welcome our new members: Jean Britt, Betty Bratten and Laura
Bauman. We hope you will get involved in club activities and invite your friends to come to our
meetings.
Our club has interesting activities on the horizon. On May 16 and 17 we will hold our Rummage Sale. Arlene Southern, Jean Drumwright and Shirley Henderson have already been very busy in getting the shop cleaned and ready for our sale. Arlene even brought Neil (her husband) to help out. The success of our sale depends on all of our members. We hope you will bring many articles to help us raise money needed to meet our budget. Then, in June, we will hold our annual picnic. I’m sure Jeanette Watkins will share with us the great plans for this occasion.
Remember to keep a list of your volunteer hours to give to Judy Markham.
We hope to see you May 12 at our General Meeting with a guest or two.
