Monthly Reminder

Happy Summer, MWC Friends!

We hope this finds you well and enjoying the fun – and the busy-ness – of summer.  Many of you have gotten out to participate fun outings together, thanks to Mary Bishop and Jan Flanagan, co-Chairs of our Activities Committee.  Here are some club reminders & a few outings coming up – be sure and RSVP if you’d like to join us.  You can also consult our Calendar and Facebook page for details.

First some THANK YOU’S

THANK YOU to all who have answered the call to help on specific COMMITTEES next year, keeping the work of the club rolling along in the background.  Without you we could not serve the community in the valuable ways we do!

THANK YOU to our JULY BAKE SALE - bakers and workers – we brought in over $700 to the Scholarship funds and it was fun to interact with people in the community.

THANK OUR SPONSORS of MWC and the June Jamboree when you are out and about this summer.  Please be sure to thank them and support their businesses just as they support our community. They love knowing that their efforts are appreciated by individual members of the club who make up their community and keep their businesses thriving!  And just wait till you see their smiles – it takes a minute and pays huge dividends of goodwill.  Here is a list of the businesses MWC Sponsors or scroll down for the list.

NEXT:  CLUB BUSINESS

MON SEPT 9 @ 11:30pm SEPTEMBER MEETING AND COFFEE CAN AUCTION that supports the Ways & Means Committee.  This meeting is held at Geneva Point, 1-8

Geneva Point Rd, Mboro and will be our only lunch meeting as we transition to our afternoon meeting format at Mboro Function Hall beginning in October at 1:30 pm.  Pick up your brand new MWC Handbook that lists our meetings, committees and 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 grandmas apple pie, fresh picked blueberries, entertaining platters – you get the idea!  It’s our version of a White Elephant Sale.

TUES SEPT 10 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!  We will have an electronic sign up (SignUpGenius) for working shifts and will confirm that at our September meeting the day before the sale.  Watch for a special email with BAKE SALE in the subject line in a couple of weeks, click on what you can bring and when you can work and it will generate an email reminder.  Proceeds from our Bake Sales are pure profit for our Scholarship Fund, every cookie counts!
