Makers Mill and Nolan's Bistro

January finds the ladies hiking at the Loon Center

The Moultonborough Women’s Club is starting the New Year off with so many bangs, thanks to the hard-working and imaginative Activities committee, chaired by Mary Bishop and Jan Flanagan. Do you enjoy hiking? Meet up with the hiking group at various locations through the winter months! Or volunteer to read and do a simple craft with kids at the Moultonborough Public Library. Tour Makers Mill in Wolfeboro later this month and be inspired to create! Enjoy lunches at local eateries and klatches at area coffee shops! Hop on the bus and head to Boston for Art in Bloom at the Museum of Fine Arts in May! There are so many opportunities to participate, and that’s on top of the fun monthly meetings and myriad ways to help and support the community.For example, the MWC just welcomed Donna Kuethe to the January meeting and enjoyed hearing about her incredible 3100+ mile bike trip from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL. Donna, a retired Moultonborough Recreation Department employee, is a breast cancer survivor and raised over $21,000 for the Payson Cancer Center in Concord with her ride. Talk about inspirational! &nbsp; &nbsp;~ Amy Corston&nbsp;<figure id="figure-uslfbyxbfhm5rgrh96"><img id="uslfbyxbfhm5rgrh96" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/36DM9FjKIMycaJ27urUrGWzdxLK13huJqkrCD2ACXRSqCXRNPY938NaPAGOaJTTF.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 20% 20%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="The MWC welcomed Donna Kuethe to the January meeting" data-positionx="20%" data-positiony="20%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/36DM9FjKIMycaJ27urUrGWzdxLK13huJqkrCD2ACXRSqCXRNPY938NaPAGOaJTTF.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 20% 20%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">The MWC welcomed Donna Kuethe to the January meeting</figcaption></figure><figure id="figure-zcptgbtisdm5rgqotc"><img id="zcptgbtisdm5rgqotc" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0lfezHv9PCUcjcdSsOLI9QZF4DoKiSAKK8pZTEFRi9intNTyC66ZqSjFWeR9SdqV.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 35%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="35%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0lfezHv9PCUcjcdSsOLI9QZF4DoKiSAKK8pZTEFRi9intNTyC66ZqSjFWeR9SdqV.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 35%;"></figure><figure id="figure-ivhrj2n9tam5rgogsc" class=""><img id="ivhrj2n9tam5rgogsc" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/durCNv2pgsW6jZPBnoHjO8BtcZ957VPRUCdnWx1z1z1zeM1YlJaeH21DC8Jho429.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 35%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="January birthday ladies!" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="35%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/durCNv2pgsW6jZPBnoHjO8BtcZ957VPRUCdnWx1z1z1zeM1YlJaeH21DC8Jho429.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 35%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">January birthday ladies!</figcaption></figure><figure id="figure-4vt27ex8fom5rgm7lv"><img id="4vt27ex8fom5rgm7lv" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/24PVyp42otlq5NIv0VtesjFDrsTkJji0OlfErZJfdFEuT6GnVVkn9w2aEFGtcOr3.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 50%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="MWC Activities Corner" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="50%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/24PVyp42otlq5NIv0VtesjFDrsTkJji0OlfErZJfdFEuT6GnVVkn9w2aEFGtcOr3.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 50%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">MWC Activities Corner</figcaption></figure>
