As a recap, the May luncheon program was on May 6. President Lisa Olson called the meeting to order. Lisa reminded everyone that a slideshow continuously runs during lunch with key information, including the Treasurer’s Report and all upcoming activities. She then reported we have 478 members to date.
Volunteers who served on the Hospitality Team as greeters, check-in volunteers, and table decorators were acknowledged.
Lisa also reminded everyone that the Outdoor Living Patio Tour would be on June 1. This was a fundraiser for the Denton Community Food Center. Lisa also reminded everyone that the Special Event Women’s Club overnight trip to Bentonville, Ark., was May 14 to 16. Lisa reiterated that the Summer Social, Pinnacle Patio Pool Party, is June 17 from 9 a.m. to noon.
Lisa also invited all members to join the Community Outreach Committee and have a great time volunteering with our charity partners: Our Daily Bread Together with Monsignor Outreach Center, Denton Community Food Center, and Denton County Friends of the Family.
She then announced that the annual Friends of the Family Backpack Drive had kicked off. Backpacks are available to purchase for $5.
