September, 2019
We started our 2019-2020 year off with a wonderful meeting and luncheon at The Virginian Golf Club in Bristol, Virginia. What a gorgeous setting on a beautiful day!
Our hostesses, Heidi M and Carol S, offered a warm welcome to everyone. We were all so happy to be together again.
September's project...
President, Kathy M, and our talented sister, Sue C, prepared for the meeting...
The meeting opened with...
Kathy M welcomed everyone, talked about our upcoming year, and about the highs and lows various members had during the summer break.
Sue C, our resident bard, shared an original written composition and song as our "Thought for the Day." How uplifting! She advised us to live each day as if it were our first day on Earth. She said we should be "thrilled to be part of the circle of life."
Member spotlight...
Kathy M put the spotlight on her mentor and friend, Debbie M. She got a little emotional as she described the many ways in which Debbie has influenced her life and the lives of her many students.
A personality profile activity...
Are you a turtle, monkey, camel, or lion? We answered questions to see
which animal we'd be. Below are the results!
