Newsletter January 2017
As we begin 2017, we send our heartfelt best wishes to all our members and their families for a healthy, happy year filled with good fortune. We are looking forward to
new opportunities for our membership including a new walking section for all members and their families. “City tours” can include walks through the historic sections of SLO or could be a hiking group. You decide! We hope that our book group will resume with a new day and time. If you are interested, contact Pat Iqbal! Are you a Bunco fan? Canasta or other card game? Step up and let’s reignite this section with a card game group. Contact Mei-Ling Liu for more information.
We also hope that you have marked March 30th for our fundraiser production of The
Nerd. The SLO Little Theater has generously given us 100 tickets to sell for the March 30th dress rehearsal to benefit our scholarship fund. Contact any Board member if you can assist us with ticket sales! We also need help with refreshments for intermission.
Our holiday party and silent auction at the SLO Country Club was attended by over 50 guests! Silent auction items included donations of wine, jewelry, quilts and El Corral
merchandise, as well as two tickets to The Nerd. Thank you to all the members-at- large and their committee for donating auction items and for organizing the event’s entertainment! Once Elaine completes the tallies, we’ll know how our scholarship fund increased!
Finally, as we begin 2017, we are tremendously thankful for the continuing generosity of spirit that has grown and sustained our Club as we head toward our centennial! Hope to see you at one of our section get togethers!
