Hello Everyone,
What a fun, exciting meeting we had on Wednesday, September 21 at Westwinds! It was so nice to see everyone and our Committee Fair was a Hit! A big Thank You to all of our committee chairs for putting together their festive displays and to all of our generous members that donated their time and talents to bring in some serious money for our charities. For those of you who weren’t able to attend, we had beautiful handmade greeting cards, homemade pies, Prosecco, a 50-50 raffle and even auctioned off two wreaths made by Anne Collins. We started our club year off netting a little over $2000 and got ourselves seven new GTGC members. I could not be more excited or proud for this club! You Rock!

Can’t wait to see you all on October 19 at Westwinds for our All Hands on Deck Holiday Bazaar Crafts Extravaganza!

Knowing how busy we all get during the upcoming season go ahead and save the dates for our Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 12 and our GTGC HOLIDAY luncheon on Thursday, December 8. Can’t wait to see y’all!

Remember, we never walk alone!
Lori Echols, GTGC President
