2017 October Message from our Co-Presidents Val & Chris
PRESIDENTS’ OCTOBER MESSAGE!
Summer is over and my favorite season autumn is here with our first Club event-- an absolutely fabulous brunch hosted by Sharon Armstrong! This event differed from our past afternoon receptions and a resounding success! Please join me in a huge “thank you” to Sharon for hosting the brunch and to her staff for their support of the Cal Poly Women’s Club membership and guests! If you attended, you know what a privilege it is to enjoy visiting the President’s campus home and how much we all look forward to this event.
At this year’s brunch, we had a wonderful response to our planned events, as well as our ongoing ASI Children’s Center scholarship fund. Thank you to all who donated including Sharon Armstrong, who asked that our Club “thank you” gift be donated to the ASI award. Additionally, we are working with the Financial Aid Office to award two $1000 scholarships. More on the recipients once they have been notified. Last year’s fundraiser at the the Holiday Party Silent Auction and SLO Little Theater boosted our scholarship fund allowing us to increase the award amount. This year, we will again include a silent auction at our Holiday Party (7 December 2017) and a new fundraising event in February 2018 “Dinner (at the California Pizza Kitchen) and a Movie.” We’ll publish the details in a future newsletter and on our website: http://womensclub.calpoly.edu .
Check out the newest member interest section: Home and Garden (Patrice Iqbal and Blanca Kesner, Chairs), which will include local garden tours. The Professional Women’s Section is trying new ideas. If you have an idea for a meeting, contact Tracy or any Board member. The Occasional Walk Group will tour the Pismo Preserve on Sunday 29 October 2017. A free shuttle service from the Pismo Beach City Gall (760 Mattie Rd., PB) will take us to the trailhead. Details for all this month’s meetings are listed in this newsletter. If you have questions, please contact the Section Chair, Tracy!
Hope to see you at one of our get togethers soon! Also check out our Directory for scheduled events and join us!
Happy Autumn -- Your Co-Presidents,
Val Barboza and Chris Hoover
