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,
I hope you are enjoying our Spring weather and the sight of everything blooming. I am so happy to be out and about more; I am sure you are also. As you read through the Newsletter this month you will see articles on some of the charitable fund raisers our members are spearheading for Matthews Hope and Edgewood Ranch. Do not hesitate to jump in and participate in these as they come up. The organizations are thrilled with anything we do for them.
Hopefully some of our activities may be ready to start again on a small scale. And it will be so good to get out and see friends again and test our dormant skills at our favorite card games.
I am hoping everyone was able to be vaccinated and is feeling a little less stressed about going out in small groups. Remember to keep your guard up and wash your hands and wear your mask.
Can't wait to see you all at a luncheon again!
Noel Anne McGuigan, President

MEMBERSHIP
It's that time of year to renew our WOW dues for 2021-2022. Some of our Activities are restarting, and I know we are all anxious to get back into our normal routines and have FUN!!!!
Our dues are still $20. However, 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.
Download and print an application and send in your renewal check soon.
LET’S GET BACK TO HAVING FUN!!!
2nd VP, Mary Borgan, 407-929-3030 or mborgan@hotmail.com.
