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,
November is the month for giving thanks, and I have so many "Thanks" to share with you. Thank you so much for making our New Member/Activity Leader Tea party such a big success by making our new members feel so welcomed. I also want to extend a sincere thank you to our Activity Leaders who continue to find new and exciting activities for all of us to enjoy. Your efforts and dedication are truly appreciated! Thank you to the Tea Party team who came early, worked hard, and stayed late to clean up.
Another big "thank you" to our members for supporting a successful charity drive for Harbor House. Your two carloads of donations were greatly appreciated.
And thank you again for telling your friends and neighbors about WOW. Our club continues to grow and we are now at 168 members.
