Western Pocono Women’s Club Newsletter January 2025

Happy New Year! I hope you are off to a great start in 2025. We are looking forward to another great year for the club. I would like to thank everyone who sent a card, called, or visited me during this difficult time with the loss of my mom. I appreciate all the love and concern. I would also like to thank everyone for your support during my presidency this past year. I owe a huge shout out to the officers and everyone who volunteers to help the club run smoothly. I have full confidence in the new 2025 board. They are planning lots of interesting activities and meetings for the upcoming year. Lisa Altemose

2025 Meeting Dates March 17-Welcome Back

• Cards For The Military- Please save your Christmas card fronts, without glitter, for Vicki C. We use them to make cards for Veterans/Service members. If you have card fronts that have glitter you can give them to Lisa A. We will use the glitter fronts to make cards for personal care homes. You can bring all the cards to the March 17th meeting.

• Quilts Made With Love – We will be meeting on Thursday, January 16th from 9:00 -2:00 at Eldred School in Kunkletown. All are welcome to attend.

• 2025 Meeting Ideas- We are in the process of planning the meeting topics for the upcoming year. If you have any ideas for a topic/presentation, please email President Isabel P with your suggestion. We are always looking for new ideas and ways to learn about events and people in our community.

 • Volunteer Positions Needed: In order for our club to continue to run smoothly we need help from our members. There are several volunteer positions that need to be filled. Perhaps you missed the sign-up sheets at the last meeting. Not to worry, we will have them at the March meeting or if you are able to help you can email the new officers. Perhaps you and a friend can work together to make it more fun! Thank you to those who have already signed up to help.

 Here are some of the areas that need to be filled:

 Membership, New Member Covered Dish (May), Nominating Committee, Halloween In the Park (October), Christmas Craft Night (November) Getz Personal Care Home Visits, Community Beautification. *** Fair Committee Help- Group Exhibit/Display, Shortcake (w/Pat Mackes), Decorating Outside of the Fair Stand.

 • Out to Lunch Coordinators– There will be a sign-up sheet at the March meeting if you are interested in coordinating one of the Out to Lunch/Dinner dates. As the person in charge for the month you need to choose the restaurant, have a sign up, and make the reservation. It’s very easy to do!

 • January Birthdays– Arlene W (10th), Cathy B (14th), Sheri S (27th), and Tonya W (30th).
