WOW seeks to provide its 175+ 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 16 clubs and activities throughout each month. In addition, several activities are planned where members can contribute their time and expertise or enjoy social outings with other members. Examples of these are day trips, fund raising activities and volunteering at our annual charity.
.... ....A Word from Our President
Ladies,
We’ve had a busy and wonderful October! We began the month with our Welcoming Appreciation Tea, celebrating our new members from the past year and thanking our dedicated Activity Leaders for all they do to keep our club active and fun.
We also kicked off our annual charity donation collection in support of our chosen charity, Harbor House. In recognition of October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, our ladies also generously donated items to help support individuals and families seeking assistance through Harbor House. If you've forgotten to make a donation, please send it, as there is still time and the donation is greatly appreciated.
Mid-month, we enjoyed our monthly luncheon at a new venue, Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, where a record-breaking 80 ladies gathered to enjoy the incredible buffet! Along with the many delicious offerings, we enjoyed special additions of chicken and grilled pineapple, plus tasty treats of fried bananas, fried plantains, and mashed potatoes served at our tables.
As October comes to a close, our generous members have once again shown their caring spirit by preparing Italian lunch items to help provide a meal for the homeless through Matthew’s Hope. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
Our activities are now in full swing, with so many wonderful options to choose from. I encourage you to try something new, connect with friends, and enjoy all our club has to offer.
Looking ahead, our November luncheon will feature Mexican cuisine at San Jose’s in Winter Garden and entertainment by the talented, Grammy Award-winning baritone, Gabe Preisser. It promises to be another delightful gathering, and I hope you’ll join us!
With warm wishes,
Alice Bergeson, President 248-921-6025 |

Ladies,
It was wonderful to see old friends and welcome new ones at Cariera's. The food was delicious, and the bingo activity was a big hit! October is just around the corner, and a few key updates are below:
New / Activity Leader Tea Party: Mark your calendars for October 5, 2026. Please reply ASAP to Alice if you plan to attend. Since the Stoneybrook Recreation Center is in a gated community, we must submit a guest list to the gatehouse in advance. Hat Contest: Please wear your finest hat to the tea party—prizes will be awarded! If you don't have a hat, one will be available for you. (No one is required is REQUIRED to wear a hat)
Membership & Directories: Thanks to all of you for being such great ambassadors for WOW—our membership has reached 166! As a reminder, our application and membership dues can now be submitted online.
If you missed the September meeting and need a new directory, additional copies will be available. Thank you for all that you do!
