WELCOME NEIGHBOR NEWSLETTER March 2019
Welcome to Two New Members
Both of our new members are named Linda, and both are retired from the
banking industry. Linda Thigpen (lindath456@hotmail.com), is recently retired
from United Federal Credit Union. She has two grown children, loves travel,
and is looking forward to participating in book club, brunches, supper and day
trips. Linda O is retired from First National Bank. She is widowed and has two adult children. She has published two indy ro- mantic suspense novels and is under contract to write five children’s books. Her NWA pub- lisher is looking to match her up with an illustrator. Linda is looking forward to getting to know us better. Apologies to Linda T--her photo was on my cell phone, which I have had to replace...hopefully we can add her photo next month.
Birthday Lunch
We will meet at the Olive Garden, 7515 Rogers Avenue in Fort Smith on Monday, March 11 at 11:15 a.m. to celebrate six birthdays: Linda Organ & Janet M (5th), Cheryl S (9th), Linda P(15th), Gloria S (20th) and Janet G (27th). Please RSVP to Barbara R.
Book Discussion Group
We will meet at the library on March 28th at 11:30 a.m. to discuss Marcus Zusak’s “Bridge of Clay.” The book primarily focuses on family and bridges, both physical and emotional. The main character, Clay, attempts to build a bridge over a river before it floods. Zusak, author of “The Book Thief,” has been planning the book for over ten years.
Our Auction Luncheon has found a new home.
Thanks to the hard work of Fran B. and the auction committee, we have been able to secure Hardscrabble Country Club for our December auction luncheon.
March Brunch
Our March brunch will be held at Jane K’s, Brooken Oaks, Fort Smith, on Thursday, March 21. The board will meet at 10 a.m. and our brunch will begin at 11. Our brunch chair, Paula L thinks it would be fun if we each brought a baby picture. Let Paula know what you’ll be bringing to brunch.
Remember that our April brunch will feature a silent auction to benefit the Hope Humane Society so start looking for some auction prizes to donate to help our struggling shelter.
March Day Trip
Learn about Lavaca history as we tour a WWII museum recently featured in the SW Times Record. Our hour-long tour will teach us about Lavaca history, Lavacaberry, and WWII. We will lunch at Steffey’s Pizza before our 1 p.m. tour. Meet at the Logan’s parking lot near Starbucks at 10:45 a.m. Thursday, March 7, so we can arrive at Steffey’s about 11 a.m. Let Diana know if you are coming by March 5 so we can arrange carpooling.
