President's Message
I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer! The board and I would like to welcome new members and continuing members to a new year of fun.
I am very excited to have the opportunity to serve as President and look forward to the many incredible special events and community service activities to come. This club is growing and has a lot to do in the first couple of months of the current fiscal year.
The goal this year, as in past years, is to plan events that support and raise valuable dollars to improve women’s and girls’ lives through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. The club’s vision is to provide resources and opportunities for women and girls so that they can accomplish their full potential and achieve their dreams.
