For the September meeting, Chris Anderson and Sally Wasson introduced new members, first-time attendees, and guests. There were eight individuals introduced. During the meeting, we learned that as of the meeting, we had 522 members. Chris reminded members that separate checks are required for annual membership ($20) and the monthly luncheon ($19). Some members have already paid dues for 2026, which is fine, but checks will not be deposited until January.
Shirley Monge celebrated the October birthdays. The drawing for the birthday card, lunch certificate, and lottery ticket was won by Cathy Reiser.
Lisa Olsen is heading up the Nominating Committee for 2026 board positions. Lisa and her committee were recognized at the luncheon.

Lorie Stockton provided an update on the Holiday Market, which was held on Oct. 18. The winner from the raffle ticket sales for the one free lunch each month in 2026 was Vickie Rawls. Judy Martin did a great job obtaining raffle items for the show.
Lorie advised that the Holiday Home Tour will be on Dec. 7 from 3 to 7 p.m. There will be six new homes.
Gayle Lee remarked what a loving, wonderful community we live in, and she is “Thankful and Grateful” to live here. This will be the theme for our next Social on Nov. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Wildhorse Grill. There is no charge, and all Robson women are welcome. No RSVP is needed.
Chris reminded members that the Women’s Club has a Facebook page (Robson Ranch Women’s Club) and encouraged members to like and follow us. Also visit the Women’s Club website at www.rrwomensclub.org. Both sites are up to date with the most current information.
Debbie Deverich was the moderator for the Fall Fashion Show, with Chico’s of Highland Village featuring “A Day in the Life of a Robson Woman.” There were many outfits with deep, luxurious, jeweled tones. Chico’s announced after the show that they would be offering a 40% discount for purchases made after the show for Robson women.
