Dear Members,

Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their summer with family and friends.

This was a fun summer. We had members sharing some social activities – lunch at Marina Café and cocktails at South Fin. We started the year off by supporting Operation Back-Pack. I am pleased to say the project was well supported with the generous donations and volunteerism from our members. This is an important effort to help children within our own community improve their lives through education.

The program for our monthly dinner/meeting, on Tuesday, September 19th at the Staaten at 6:30PM, will be the Induction Ceremony. This is a very special dinner/meeting, at which we will hold a ceremony to induct our new members.

This event is an important part of our year. It not only officially welcomes and initiates new members into our organization, but it also builds the pride and enthusiasm of our entire membership. Please check the calendar for more information.

If you have not yet joined a committee, please do so. Your participation is important. This is an opportunity for you to share in the chapter’s planning and activities. With your talent and support, this coming year is going to be a great success.

Thank you,
Christine Olivieri Donahue
President
