Letter from Our President

Dear Ladies,

Happy 2025! I very much hope that your holidays were merry and bright! Aside from all the merriment sponsored by the Interest Groups, I know many of your were able to attend the Holiday Disco event held at the lovely home of Bambi and Barry Landew. That couple sure knows how to have a party! Roller disco skaters and oyster shuckers…it’s a hard act to follow! That said, the fun and zany frocks our members wore really added to the frivolity. Bambi has been such a generous and gracious host over the years but especially this year. Thank you so very much Bambi on behalf of the Club!

I am sorry to have missed the joint Holiday Lunch Bunch and December Meeting event. I know that Magda, Carole, Meganne and Jennifer endeavored to sponsor a festive get together and I understand they delivered a delightful afternoon. Thank you, ladies!

As we move to the next year, we still have a lot in store for all to enjoy. Aside from our regular activities, we have a cocktail party for members and guests in the later part of the month.

As I mentioned in my last letter, we are looking for folks that would be interested in serving in leadership positions at the board level and for Interest Groups. If you are interested in Board positions, please reach out to Ruth Smyers, Cindy Smith or Katie Kachel. If you are looking to start an Interest Group or would like to lead one of the current IGs, please reach out to Katie Kachel.

Also repeating from my last note, we are looking to revise our membership requirements in line with the potential change in Fairfax County School districting. If you have any thoughts as to what you believe is important, this is the time to voice your opinion. Please drop me or anyone on the board an email with your thoughts or I will be at the January meeting so we can chat then.

In closing, I wish you a wonderful 2025 and may all you resolutions last all year or at least until February!

Your Grateful President,

Cory
