Thank You—Thank You

– Thank You!

We would like to ex-

tend a special thank

you to Debbie Lemon

and Ann Medley! Deb-

bie opened her home to

us for our Holiday Auc-

tion and Ann hosted

our Holiday Celebra-

tion. Everyone who at-

tended had a wonder-

ful time! Both homes

were absolutely beauti-

ful and looked as

though they would ap-

pear on the pages of

a magazine– something

on the lines of South-

ern Living! Simply

beautiful! D e b b i e

and Ann– to say that

we appreciate your

gracious hospitality is

an understatement!

We had a grand time!

Many thanks to each

of you!

I want to thank each and

everyone of you for all

the time and effort you

have contributed to our

Club and community. We

have had a successful

year and that is because

you have been there to

bring it together. Thank

you for allowing me to

serve as your President

and I look forward to the

time we will spend to-

gether this coming year.

Since 1910, some form of Arts

Festival has been enjoyed on

the State level. In recent

years this event has been held

at Salem College in Winston –

Salem with District winners

from across the state compet-

ing in several categories. In

order to compete at the Dis-

trict and State levels entries

must first be entered at the

local level. There are numer-

ous categories (Crafts, Nee-

dlework, Photography, Sewing,

Visual Arts, Literature, Drama,

and Public Speaking) available

for Club women to compete.

The Arts Festival is a wonder-

ful opportunity for local Stu-

dents and Club women to show-

case their talents! The Shal-

lotte Juniors sponsor our local

Student Arts Festival. The

Local Arts Festival for our Club

members will be held at our

January 26th Club Meeting.

Used Holiday Cards for St. Jude’s Ranch: Don’t forget to bring your used holiday cards, birthday cards , thank you cards and greeting cards for St. Jude’s Ranch. The children at St. Jude’s participate in making new, recycled cards by removing the front and attaching a new back made with recycled paper. The new card is a beautiful “green” card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are 2-fold: customers receive “green” holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green”. St Jude’s is a non-profit, non-sectarian home for abused, abandoned and neglected children of all races and faiths. For more information, visit their website: www.stjudesranch.org
