Last chance to RSVP for the Sept 9 MWC Meeting at Geneva Point! (YES!  It’s ok to RSVP twice if you are not sure!)

Here are the details for the meeting if you missed the last email:

SEPTEMBER MEETING AND COFFEE CAN AUCTION that supports the Ways & Means Committee.  This meeting is held at Geneva Point, 108 Geneva Point Rd, M’Boro and will be our only lunch meeting as we transition to our afternoon meeting format at M’Boro Function Hall beginning in October at 1:30 pm.  Time to RSVP so we know you are coming, simply click here:  RSVP here!

Ready for Pick Up: Your brand new 75th Anniversary MWC Handbook that lists our meetings, committees and all the new members at the Sept 9 meeting!

FAQS: What is the Coffee Can Auction and how does it work?  Every member brings a new or nearly new item of interest to others and members buy raffle tickets and walk around the displayed items dropping tickets in the coffee can next to items they are interested.  After the meeting, we all take home our treasures!

Hmmm, What to bring? Something that you no longer need AND that will be useful for someone else at the meeting, such as something from your gift closet, fashion accessories, a pot of mums, your grandma’s apple pie, fresh picked blueberries, entertaining platters – you get the idea!  It’s our version of a White Elephant Sale.

What else?  Bring a bag lunch and a drink and our Sept Hostesses will be supplying a beautiful array of desserts as usual. And for our Hikers – bring your walking shoes for a walk in the woods – Geneva Point has awesome hiking trails available to all – try it out!

Thank you to all our members doing so many things behind the scenes to keep our Club chugging along!  See you on Monday!
