Good evening, Everyone,

Welcome to our August General Membership meeting!

As I left last night’s festival meeting, I couldn’t help but notice all the beautiful flowers both in the window boxes and against our new white fence. It reminded me of all the wonderful volunteers we have and the time and dedication they all put into their respective roles. LaRae and Mike McGuigan and the gardening committee composed of Nancy Smith, Marianne Cox, Barbara Blackwell, and Patrice have done a marvelous job at the club and our downtown IHSM garden spot. I’ve also seen members including Sheila Danehy watering the window boxes too. So many take responsibility to make sure the flowers are flourishing so the membership can enjoy their beauty.

I also want to thank Bill Schule and Ed Mead and acknowledge the fantastic job they do keeping up with their House Committee duties. The completion of the first phase of the tile project we discussed a couple years ago is now complete. They found a mason that did a superb job shoring up the cracks in the outside wall to stop the water leaks the club has been experiencing.

Slainte,
Amy Lacey
