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!!!

The scholarship committee worked very hard to review such great applications this year. After
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!
We were able to enjoy meeting the students and hearing about them at our April 25 luncheon.
They were so impressive and how nice it was to see that there was such appreciation from
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,

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

March Fundraising:
Garage Sale; The Sugarmill, Southern Woods, and Oak Village Garage and Craft Sale on March 19, 2022, was a great success.
The profit from the sale was $1,232.68. Thank you all who made this sale such a success. I want to
especially thank all the ladies and their husbands for donating their time and getting up early on a Saturday to greet our guests at 6:45 am! That’s quite early for all us old folks. Johna and Bob DeVoe, Carol Lawson, Becky Jones, Judy Krencis, Elaine and Mike Flock, Debbie and Mark
Robbins, Dixie McElroy, Melanie Mascaro, Blossom DeYoung, Maribeth Myers, Monta Burnett and my husband Kirk who helped me every step of the way.
Thank you all who purchased a parking space and sold their treasures. Without you, there would have not been a sale.

Director Education and Scholarships
The scholarship committee met on March 25 and were blessed to have $26,410. to
award for education and scholarships. After discussions, all agreed to award $4,000 to
Take Stock In Children, $2,500. to the Accelerated Reader Program, $1,500. to the
Withlacoochee Technical College and 11 scholarships. All applicants were very worthy
and it was a difficult decision. However, we had to narrow it down to eleven and we
can’t wait to meet them. Our College of Central Florida endowment was increased to
$1,400. this year so that increased our number to twelve scholarships. We awarded 4 to
students from Citrus High, 2 to students from Crystal River High and 6 to students from
Lecanto High. The board electronically approved our recommendations so we were able
to send out the awards via email and began receiving responses from the students
within hours.
School Superintendent, Dr. Sam Himmel and a guest will be joining us for lunch in April
along with the scholarship recipients and their parent(s). We are so excited to meet
these very deserving students!
Jeanne Warde

Happy February!
As I sit and write this, its 25 degrees outside. Not Florida weather! But we have been told that in
a couple days, we will be back in the 70's. How did I ever put up with those temperatures years
ago. I guess I have just become a true Floridian.
On the brightside of everything, we have Valentines day coming up! Last week to get your order
in for the beautiful Valentine Basket! Don't miss it, they are very special!
Also our big fundraiser, The Golf Tournament is coming up on the 28th of February. It is always
a great time and I thank everyone for their support. The community really bands together for this
one, as well as the golfers and our club. Again, thank you everyone!!!!
Don't forget to reserve your space for the garage sale on March 19th! Clean out those garages, and
closets, you never know what fortune you might have for someone else!
I am very glad we decided to do a lunch this month, even with the golf tournament. We have
had such great fellowship and fun at our luncheons. I promise this one will be great too!!
Thanks for everything each one of you do, it doesn't go unnoticed,
Blossom
