QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know that I’m not dumb…and I also know that I’m not blonde.” ~ Dolly Parton

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Great news!! We were the 1st place winner of the Linda Craft 100 Homes Sold Charity Program. We will be awarded $5,000. The presentation will be announced later. Thanks to everyone who voted.

There is to be a second Linda Craft 100 homes Sold Charity Program and again I will submit our organization. The Second Program will only permit one vote per person. If everyone votes plus family and friends, then hopefully we can win again.

We also can vote for the N & O newspaper’s Best of Raleigh. We can vote one time each day until it ends August 19, 2022.

There are two important dates to mark on your calendar:

• The Board will meet at the shop on Tues., August 16, 1:00pm. The Tuesday morning pricing group will still be able to work in the morning before the Board meets.
• The second is the Regular membership meeting on August 18. It will be held at the Dominion Park Clubhouse with socials at 9:30 and the meeting from 10:00 – 11:00.

I had the opportunity last Wednesday morning to speak about the Assistance League to the group “Women in Network” of Apex. I had a great time meeting the ladies and receiving their donations of purses and jewelry.

Women in Need

Looking forward to another great year.

WOMEN IN NEED/WOMEN’S CENTER – GARDEN VIEW

We will be showering 3 ladies at Garden View with items from their Wish List over the next month.  Our Monday Update is our form of communication to let you know of their wishes. Members wishing to donate items may do so by leaving their items in the Lunch Room of the A-Z Thrift Shop.  Larger items will need to be removed quickly due to space. If you have large items, we will work to get them delivered before we complete our shower gathering on September 6, 2022.  Please text or call me if you have a large item for the Garden View participants.  This list will be expanded within the next two weeks or less.  New and/or gently used items are greatly appreciated.
