A Monthly Reminder
from our Co-Presidents
Hi everyone,
We are so lucky to call the Lake Region our home! While areas south of us were hit hard by the blizzard the afew days ago, we certainly lucked out this time. You never quite know what this season will bring.
As much as I enjoy watching it snow — and taking a peaceful walk while it’s falling — I have to admit I’m more than ready for spring. The quiet beauty of winter is special, but longer days and warmer sunshine are starting to sound pretty wonderful.
This is just a friendly second reminder about our upcoming Women’s Club meeting. We’re looking forward to spending time together for fellowship, conversation, and connection.
We hope to see you there!
Warmly, Jayne & Wendy

💙 Charity of the Month: Veterans Home – Sunshine Cart
Requested donations include:
Shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, toothpaste & brushes, alcohol-free mouthwash, denture cream, large-print puzzle books (crossword, Sudoku), adult coloring books, colored pencils, puzzles, hard candies, and crew socks.
The men and women are always so appreciative of our generosity.
We are also collecting Beanie Babies and cash for The Common Man for Ukraine to distribute to children in Ukraine. Ocean Job Lot has the beanie babies for 50% off and ETC shop in Meredith has them for a great price
🍎 SOMETHING NEW! FUELING FUTURES
We are collecting individual snacks for students at Moultonborough Central School. The staff was so appreciative of February’s donations!
Ideas include: individual-sized chips, fruit roll-ups, granola bars, Goldfish, etc.
This initiative supports students who may come to school without a snack and helps teachers avoid out-of-pocket expenses. It’s another meaningful way we support young learners in our community.
