April Business Meeting at our lovely new location at the Marriott.

Contributed by: Carole Hart

“May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return.”

”May you be blessed with all things good.”

” May your joys, like the stars at night be too numerous to count.”

” May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world.”

“April showers bring May Flowers”

” May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger and may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companion.”

And may we continue to serve others…………

Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'
'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'
'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'
'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a life.'
'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'
'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.'
'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'
'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'
'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'
'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'
'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

Dear Club Members,

Thank you for electing me as your club President for our fiscal year of May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011. I believe our Board of Directors is just as excited as I am and I know we are all ready to take up the challenge of leading our club in a stellar year!

We will be “busy bees” rebuilding our clubto fit a new vision. One that we all must share and agree upon. We are a strong club. We have faithful members, a powerful service focus and our coffers are full. WE are very blessed. So, think about what you want from our club. What are your expectations? I will be calling each of you, during May, to find out.

I have been a member of our club since 1995. Over those 15 years, I have learned a lot. I remember Peggy Barry (our belated and beloved member that bequeathed us about $80,000 for scholarships) telling me that before you “agree to be President, make sure you have a Ways and Means Chair.” So, when Carol Zeber suggested that Carole Hart be our Ways and Means Chair, I was so thrilled! We all know this is one of our most important committees and that all of us are on the Ways and Means Committee. Who better than an expert in small business development! Aren’t we lucky to have Carole!

Also, a member said to me that she wanted us to have 24 members. So, I am proposing to the Board, Marie Katz, as our new Membership Chair. Isn’t that wonderful!!?! Thank you, Marie!

In the weeks ahead you will hear more about our committee chairs. So get ready for a “bees-y” year! Dolores Taylor, Club President
