NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER - Vol XXXVIII #3

May Remarks from your WSW President:

Hello everyone!

 “April showers bring May flowers” or so the saying goes! Except where are our April showers?  Some rain would be most welcome! Fortunately we still have beautiful flowers blooming everywhere.

Here we are at the last official month of our WSW Club year. And that means our luncheon for our charities. May luncheon will also bring the installation of our board for 2023-2024. At present we have all board positions filled but if you would like to run for a position, we would be more than happy to have a run off. We always welcome interest in being on our executive board. Please make your desires known. Our lunch menu will be fun with tea sandwiches and various salads.
Summer lunches are being planned for July and August. We had a great response to this last year!  We realize many are vacationing and unavailable.
Enjoy your summer, everyone and come back refreshed to make a better tomorrow with the WSW!
With appreciation for all of you,
Becky

' Lily of the Valley'

This flower has been associated with motherhood, sweetness, purity, and humility. It signifies a return to happiness, likely due to its time of bloom and the anticipation of summer. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL!!

We will continue taking photos for the 2023-24 WSW Directory at the May 22nd luncheon. An alternate date for photos will set up at a later date. Annual dues of $35 are being collected.

Our April luncheon went very well as we included our scholarship recipients and their families. All were very impressive and appreciative of our assistance in their higher education. Our members enjoyed meeting these fine students and hearing about their plans and how we are helping them. It is so rewarding to know that we have a part in helping the new generation in their efforts to make the world a better place.

This is an email I received from one scholarship recipient immediately after the luncheon:

“Thank you and all the other ladies who worked hard to put this scholarship and the luncheon together. Today, I saw this group of women's dedication and care toward helping the local community. I am honored to have been one of the few chosen and will put this scholarship to great use. 

Thank you for this amazing opportunity,

Chase Watkins”

Together we made a difference!!  

Our annual Craft and Garage Sale was a huge success.  

We netted $1508.98.  I want to thank my fellow committee members, our volunteers, our donors and our shoppers.  The whole event went smoothly, the weather held out and we had an awesome day.  I would also like to thank The Sugarmill Woods Country Club for the use of the upper parking lot and the Oak Village HOA for the use of their table.  It was truly a 'Community Event'!

I’d like to introduce myself to you all as your incoming Director of Communications. I’ve been helping Judy as she is stepping aside after several years of keeping you all well informed!

If there’s anything you need to know, I’ll be sending out emails and a monthly newsletter. 

I will also be placing articles in our local publications and updating calendars and the Women of Sugarmill Woods Website—

Womenofsugarmillwoods.com Please check it out— make sure to click on all the drop down boxes. There’s a lot of information! Share it with prospective members and friends. You do NOT have to live in Sugarmill Woods to join!

I’ve got some big shoes to fill, following after Judy Krencis. She’s going to be a great mentor in helping me ‘learn the ropes’! Please be patient with me!

I’m looking forward to meeting you all at our luncheons and events!

Please stop and introduce yourself if we haven’t met. It’s great to put a face with the name! Let’s all get involved! It feels good to help others!

Ah yes, April! 

Spring at last! Except what happened to Spring? It’s 87 degrees and getting more humid by the  nano second! Welcome to Florida and yes, we love where we live! We wouldn’t have it any other  way. By now most of you have had your share of spring breakers and family and friends escaping colder  climates. Company is wonderful but after while it does seem to interfere with our busy lives as retirees! I love the way everyone thinks we are on vacation just because they are. LOL. But thankfully, they still care enough to come and be with us. It’s more memories to store away.  We just had a wonderful WSW luncheon in March and I think fun was had by all. 

Again, my heartfelt thanks for all the hard work and diligence you ladies have shown this year. We have been able  to raise an inordinate amount for our scholarships and charities. Well done, everyone! April will be our Scholarship recipient luncheon. This is such a special time to see the fruit of our  labors. These children are amazing and so grateful. Many of their parents will be in attendance as  well. Pat Thompson and her committee have done a beautiful job of choosing these winners. I’m  sure they didn’t want to leave anyone out. Being able to give 20 scholarships this year is just outstanding! 

April 29th there will be a garage sale sponsored by the WSW in the upper parking lot at the Club. It is 9-1 rain or shine. Johna is willing to pick up anything you’d like to donate to the WSW table. April 9th is Easter this year and I hope you will realize the beauty of the resurrection like never before. 

Please know that I am always available and open to your suggestions and ideas for a better tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you around the neighborhood. Oh ……. and Happy Spring!  

Becky Jones, President

February Greetings:

Hi everyone and welcome to the LOVE month! And it’s also Heart Health awareness month! May your heart be healthy both physically and emotionally and may you feel lots of extra love this month.

We have another busy month with the WSW.

Joyous Holiday Greetings!

Wow, how did it get to be December already? Funny how time flies much faster as we’ve gotten older. Or am I the only one who feels that way?

The WSW are hitting the ground running after a very successful fashion show/luncheon fund raiser November 19th. You girls outdid yourselves and we may have raised an all time record amount for our scholarships and charities! We are awaiting the final tabulation.

November 30th thru December 2nd we are putting our Christmas trees up for bid. They will be on display Wednesday thru Friday from 4-7 at the Club. Winners pick up on Saturday morning December 3rd. The trees are always beautiful and unique. Come and take a look even if you don’t need a tree.

December 5th is our Christmas luncheon. Hope your reservation has been received. This is always a fun fes-tive luncheon. Wear your Christmas sweater or sparkly outfit if you like. Santa may make an appearance so you better watch out till then! We will have our beautiful Christmas wreaths and arrangements for raffle. These are made by a few of our members. We will probably also sing carols and holiday songs if requested. Come prepared to join in the beauty of the season.

Enjoy your time with family and friends in December as we remember the reason for the season.

Here’s to a great 2023 together as we do our best to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

Becky Jones, President WSW

It’s time to stop by the Sugarmill Woods CC to place your bid on one of the beautifully deco-rated Christmas Trees. WSW will be starting their annual auction Wednesday November 30, after 4:00p until 6:00p on Friday December 2. The lucky winners will be notified Friday even-ing and will pick up their tree Saturday morning. Even if you don’t need a tree, stop by to view all the hard work that went into the trees.

             November Word from our President Becky

Hi ladies,

Well, here we are approaching the holidays again so soon. And the WSW have some lovely things planned.

First off is our annual fashion show/luncheon fund raiser on November 19th. Hopefully everyone has obtained a ticket. Please plan for a great day of fun, food, fellowship and fashions. We have already surpassed our goal of $20,000 in ads and donations. I am beyond proud of all of you!! Never underestimate women on a mission! Girls Rule! LOL

Early December we will once again raffle the decorated Christmas trees decorated by our board members. This is normally done in the lobby of the Club. This is always a bright and festive time.

Our Christmas luncheon is December 5th. We will have decorative Christmas items for raffle as in past years. A visit from Santa is a possibility and there may also be an old fashioned Carole sing. Come in your holiday’s finest! (I dislike ugly Christmas sweaters but feel free to wear yours!) LOL

Lest I get too far ahead of myself, I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! I love, appreciate and am so thankful for you. When I think of all of you, I realize that some of you may be with me at the end of my life and that makes you pretty special in my book! The love, support and camaraderie you bring to me is unsurpassed. I’m very thankful.

Yours for all our causes,

Becky

Every year the sale of Butter Braids has increased in popularity. This year 201 braids were sold bringing a profit of $1175.85 to the Women of Sugarmill Woods. Thank you to all the people who have purchased the braids.

You will be able to pick up your pre ordered loaves on November 12th at the SMW CC between 11:00a and 1:00p. Just pull up to the curb, by the restaurant entrance, someone will bring the Butter Braids to your car.

Please remember the loaves come to you frozen so depending on the weather you don’t want them sitting outside for too long. If the weather is cold please think of the people outside waiting for you to get your braids.

When you put your Butter Braids out to raise place a towel under the pan and one over the plastic wrap. I have found that helps them raise fully. ENJOY!!

Any questions please call Judy Krencis 815 347 1742

Words from our President

Wow, I can't believe its May!!!

This month at our luncheon, we will honor our community service organizations.

We will also have the installation of new officers for the coming year.

With that I want to say a fond farewell as president of the club. I

have been president for 3 years and feel its time to make a change. It

has been a wonderful 3 years, even with Covid, but I had the best

board anyone could ask for. They are great! They made my job easier

with all their knowledge and help.

I also feel that the support I have gotten from the membership made

it very easy too. I have enjoyed every minute of it!!!!

But wait! You will see me around, doing all sorts of things I'm sure. I

am very proud to be a member of this club and let us always remember,

we are very respected in the community.

So I'm not saying farewell, I'm saying I'll see you soon!!!

much discussion, we were able to award $4,000. to the Take Stock in Children program, $2,500. to

the Accelerated Reader program and $1,500. to a scholarship at the Withlacoochee Technical Col

lage. We were also notified that our Collage of Central Florida endowment this year would be in

creased to $1,400. In addition to that, we were able to award eleven more scholarships!

them. We wish them all well!

A special THANK YOU to everyone who donated to Precious Paws Rescue on Monday. Your donations are greatly appreciated and always needed.

Kindest Regards,

Pat O’Brien

As many of you already know, I have decided after three years as the Fundraising Director to resign my posi-tion. I’m excited just to be a part of this wonderful club .There is also a big part of me that is sad to say goodbye to the fund raising position. Helping to raise money for Community Services was my main goal, but I can’t tell you how much fun along the way. Everyone, I worked with these past three years made my posi-tion easy and so enjoyable. This might be the end of my time as Director, but definitely not as a volunteer to this great organization.

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who worked with me these past years to make the fundraising events so successful.

I look forward to turning over the keys and working with the new director. I can’t wait to see the new ideas she has in store.

Have a wonderful summer, see you at the September meeting.

Kindest regards,

Roxanne Soden

Thank you to everyone who generously made a contribution to Precious Paws, lead by Pat O’Brien. The

who work hard year round to make Citrus County a better place to live.
