President’s Message:
Dearest Ladies,
I know that those who joined us at Daily News really enjoyed this new venue. The food was fabulous.
Our Club year is quickly drawing to a close. Please join us next month at Bon Appetit where we will be awarding 10 scholarships to 10 deserving young ladies from Clearwater High School. This is always a lovely venue and a luncheon for a wonderful cause.
As we all begin our summer activities, I wish you much enjoyment with your loved ones and friends. Travel safely and be well. For those of us remaining in Florida over the summer, “It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere” will continue.
Your Board and Committee Chairs will be working hard over the summer preparing for the 2023-2024 Club year. I hope that you have enjoyed our choices of venues and activities this year. We will try to make next year even better.
Attached to this Newsletter you will find the Membership Renewal form for 2023-2024. Please get your renewal in as soon as possible so you can be included in our Yearbook. You can also renew online on our website: www.islandestateswomensclub.com.
With much love and respect,
Joan Landreth, IEWC President
May Luncheon—Our May Luncheon will begin with a wonderful meal from Bon Appetit and then the Awarding of 10 Scholarships to young ladies graduating from Clearwater High School. This will be followed by a short business meeting with Election of Officers for the 2023-2024 Club year, voting on Bylaw revisions and the Budget for 2023-2024. After voting is complete, the new Officers will be sworn in. The event will end with our two drawings: one for the free lunch and one for 50/50.
