Welcome to 2025!  I hope everyone had a wonderful start to the new year! As we progress into our calendar year for WOW, please check out all the wonderful activities that we have available to participate in. The groups are always looking for new members!  Just a reminder, both the contact information and descriptions for the groups are on the website or in the newsletter.  I am also available to help!
Please remember that we would love to see pictures showcasing your group and members on the WOW's Facebook page. I am happy to assist you if you need any help posting!
Thanks to all of the Activity Leaders.  Without your support, the groups would not be as successful!
I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!  - Shari Y. Barker, 407-406-0698,  Lsybark23@gmail.com

CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES UPDATE:  

The first meeting of the new Genealogy Group was on January 9th.  It was held at Patty Todd’s house with four members attending – Patty Todd, Alice Bergeson, Sandra Farris, and Kristin Farris.  We discussed our goals.  Alice has done a lot of work on her family tree, but has hit a few brick walls.  Sandra’s daughter would like some help on her tree, and Patty, who has Ancestry.com access, is making some progress. 
During the January WOW meeting, the group added three members – Cynthia Johnson-Guarino, Bari Zepernick and Marina Gosselin. Our group is growing!  Join us if you are interested in genealogy whether it is helping someone else, getting some help or just talking about genealogy.
