A Few Of My Favorite Things........
The Coffees’, the Potlucks and all the generous members who host them. Our wonderful luncheon meetings with great programs (where you can go and everybody knows your name!). The Volunteer Board (bless you, one and all). The Keynotes high style. The Out and Abouts. The Newsletter. The annual Auction. The New Members and the not-so-new Members. All our fun-filled Executive Board Meetings.
I’ve been the PNC president for the past two years and have enjoyed it immensely. I’m looking for-ward to next year with our well chosen brand new board. I’m leaving you in very good hands with Liz.
Happy Trails....Carolyn
