A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who baked and worked the Sept Bake Sale on Primary Election Day – the community loved it and we raised $2,953.26.  Well done!

IN OUR THOUGHTS:

·       Simone Sampson is back at home and would love to hear from her MWC friends! 

·       Janet Shurko can’t always make it to our meetings as caring for husband Nick is taking time – a card will brighten her day and let her know we are thinking of her.

NEXT:  CLUB BUSINESS

TUES NOV 5 BAKE SALE ON ELECTION DAY!  Please set aside time to create your special sweets for all those who come out to vote on Election Day! Please look for a sign- up sheet.  We need as many baked goods as possible – there will be record number of voters for this election.  If you are away and can’t bake and freeze, please consider making a donation – perhaps what you would have spent on ingredients OR what your special goodie might have added to our Scholarship Fund.  All Proceeds from Bake Sales are pure profit for our Scholarship Fund – and our community looks forward to these sales!!    NOTE:   Our November meeting is the day before the election so members can bring baked goods to the meeting.

COMING THIS FALL:  THE MWC MINI SURVEY is back!  This has been a great tool to help us get to know all of our members better and help direct you to projects that you will enjoy.  Please participate and share your interests, your past work and volunteer experience.  We all have wonderful hidden talents!  If you did not return one in Sept, please share your talent with us in October by filling it out.

NEW MEMBER TEAS are our annual event to welcome our newest members who have joined us since last Fall.  If you haven’t responded yet to the cute electronic e-mail from Punch Bowl asking you which date you’d like to attend:  Sept 25 @ 1 pm, Oct 4 @ 1 pm, or Oct 9 @ 4 pm, please contact Nancy Hill. 

MWC celebrates 75 Years!  So much to celebrate and we are forming new committees this year: 

  • 75th ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE to put ideas together for our May Meeting focusing on 75 years of service to Moultonborough!  If you have ideas to commemorate this special occasion, we want to hear from you! Both new and seasoned members will work on this together!
  • Do you love history or genealogy?  MWC is seeking a HISTORIAN and this is the perfect year to discover what we have saved – and what we should keep!
  • Background in Finance?  Ask us about our INVESTMENTS COMMITTEE that will meet quarterly and guide the investments currently in CDs as a result of the June Jamboree.
  • Love to brainstorm with others?  FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE now forming to determine a 3-5 year plan for fun ways to continue to raise money for our projects and our scholarships. Once we have a plan, we will create a group to implement the ideas.
    Contact Libby or Joanne to learn more!

WAYS AND MEANS TABLE – Members have wondered where items on the Ways & Means Table come from – if you have a nearly new item OR something consumable like a special pie or platter of cookies to share, get in touch with Sharon Paton and she can advise you as to what month she may need something special!  Ways and Means provide funds for the little extras that keep our club going!
