WOW seeks to provide its 200+ members the opportunity to learn about their community, support local charitable and civic activities, and socialize in an atmosphere of friendliness and goodwill. Aside from the luncheon meetings held monthly from September through May, WOW members are active in 25 clubs and activities throughout each month. In addition, several annual activities are planned where members can contribute their time and expertise or enjoy social outings with other members. Examples of these are day trips, cruises, participation in the Festival of Trees, and fund raising activities.

........A Word from Our President 
Hello Ladies,
We had a wonderful luncheon at Bonefish Restaurant. 51 ladies attended and we had our Installation of Officers conducted by Aurie Bremer. So we are all duly installed and ready to tackle the coming year.
     We had speakers from our two charities who updated us on their needs and activities.  Our Charities are in good hands with Karen and Cynthia and their committees; they have projects  going forward to assist Mathew’s Hope and Edgewood Children’s Ranch.
.....Our first used book sale was a big success and will be back in November.  We hope you all enjoyed our new microphone. It took me a few minutes to figure it out but then it was perfect. Such an improvement! 
In October we are having our jewelry sale, always something we look forward to.  We will also be learning about  exercise and fitness for seniors.
      I hope to see you at the New Member's Tea October 7th and at our October Luncheon at Orange Tree Country Club on the 21st. We always have a wonderful time and the food is delicious.
      Take care of yourselves and hope you all stay healthy.

Noel Anne McGuigan, President

MEMBERSHIP

The Updated Directory including only renewed members is available here:

To access the Directory you need a USER NAME and PASSWORD. Please contact Mary Borgan at 407-929- 3030 or westorangewomen@gmail.com   for USER NAME and PASSWORD.  
  The Membership Application is here on our website. Our dues are still $20. We want to give as much money as possible to our charities so we’re cutting costs. Due to ever increasing postage rates, as well as paper and ink costs, the cost to mail newsletters is taking a toll on our monies. So, beginning this year we are asking $5 for mailed copies of the Newsletter. E-mail copies are free! Mailed Directories are also $5, but are free via e-mail, free on the WOW website, and free hard copies are available at our Luncheons if you reserved one. Just email me if you want to reserve a hard copy.   

Seventeen of our activities are starting back up.
LET’S GET BACK TO HAVING FUN!!
