“We have voted on a new Board and new Managers to carry on the great philanthropy and friendships that make up the Neptunian Woman’s Club. These great ladies will be introduced at the next luncheon on May 8. This has been a great year for the club. I am proud of the Board’s accomplishments and am proud to have been your president. Our Board members have taken their tasks very seriously and performed beautifully. They all should feel proud.
We have grown the membership and now have over 256 paid members.We have returned to featuring programs this year and it has been extremely successful and well received. Our speakers have been both educational and informative. This year’s holiday luncheon with the terrific Mira Costa Women’s Chorale had over 150 attendees. We sold cookies and donated funds to the Round House Aquarium. We wrapped more gifts in less time to contribute to our scholarship fund.
NWC helped with the Chili Cook-Off and made contributions to Chemocessories and other local non-profit organizations. The Fashion Show & Luncheon, our biggest fundraiser, sold out two months in advance. Our renovation project is set to begin. While we still have many decisions to make and priorities to consider, I am confident the project will start and finish this year. In fact, we are already planning a Grand Opening Party.
It is time for me to welcome a new president, Jan Fleming, and offer all the help I can to continue the great tradition that is the Neptunian Woman’s Club.”
Jane Franklin, President
