I was awarded the Community Covenant Award for over 10 years of service at the Broward Outreach Center. It is a comprehensive homeless shelter. I have been on the board for 12 years. We are committed to the concept that the homeless people who are ready to become part of the community should be offered services to achieve that goal. The board is dedicated to making the community as better place.

The gala was at the Diplomat 10.23.10.

             At the Redhead Luncheon, of course!

On Wednesday, May 26, 2010 50+ women of all ages and from all walks of life, will gather to celebrate the joys of being born a redhead. Join Heidi Richards Mooney, Beth Tobin and several other “famous redheads” in South Florida for a wonderful afternoon and share stories of growing up redheads…the trials, tribulations and triumphs!

• There is no president or chairman, no by-laws, no goals other than to have redheads get together and have fun and celebrate the fact that they are redheads.
  The luncheon is open only to redheads and will cost $25 per person.
  For centuries, the intrigue and charms of women with red hair have been the subject of art, folklore and history. Redheads have evoked legends and passion and even surveys and studies. Today there are international clubs, books and websites devoted exclusively to the uniqueness of redheads.
  Redheads were a favorite subject of 19th-century British artists. Many of the most famous Victorian paintings featured beautiful redheaded ladies.  In the paintings of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, beautiful redheads were constantly fending off love-struck suitors and redheads were the subjects of the 19th-century’s most romantic paintings. When it was time for a knight in shining armor to rescue a beautiful damsel in distress, of course, the damsel had red hair.
                 
  

Gail Smith left her tour to be with her sister who was dying of cancer. Sadly, Gail’s sister passed away in February after bravely fighting for so long.

After enjoying life to its fullest, Beth Tobin’s mother passed away at the age of 90 after recently being diagnosed with cancer.

Both women were incredible ladies who meant so much to these WEC members. Please keep Gail, Beth and their families in your thoughts and prayers.  If interested in sending your condolences and words of comfort, their contact information is located on the website at www.wecftl.com under Member Login or can be found in the mini directory.

Volunteers: what an essential component of our club. We thank all of you who have helped our organization…whether it’s serving on the board, helping on a committee, we appreciate everyone’s time and talent.

We had a wonderful October, starting with the Cannon Circle at Trina London’s. We enjoyed each other’s company and were treated to delicious food, and how about that view? At our October luncheon, we welcomed new member Ronnie Halpern, Beth Tobin of Starpack presented a business showcase, and Kim Stone, our speaker from the Miami Heat/American Airlines Arena, mesmerized us with her story.

We had a wonderful time at the Stranahan House Halloween tour. Several members were dressed in costume so please look for pictures on the website. Thanks to Carol Metevier, Susan Kingsley and her committee for organizing this event.

We have several events in November to look forward to: the luncheon on the 18^th, and a Cannon Circle at Barbara Moorman’s lovely store, Carroll’s Jewelers, on the 19th. At the luncheon, please don’t forget to bring food or cash for our annual food drive.

Somi Ali of No More Tears will be our speaker, discussing domestic violence. You won’t want to miss Linda Linder’s business showcase.

Two other big events on our calendar are the catamaran cruise on December 3^rd and the following day is the Pace Believing in Girls luncheon. WEC is an event sponsor of the Pace event so please attend if you can and show your support. You can rsvp to Melissa Rapkin or Chadia Meroueh.

There has been much discussion regarding our new website/blog (wecftl.com). The new format allows much more member interaction and we’ll be able to post articles at any time. If you have any questions regarding the new site, feel free to contact Chris Guld, our wonderful webmaster. Please continue to send in your news to Jenette Mathai.

As many of you know, attendance at our luncheons has grown tremendously, thanks to Jan Bullard and all of you who have invited guests. In order to have time for self introductions, the speaker and business showcase, we must start on time. I will be calling the meeting to order at noon sharp. If you would like to network, please feel free to come at 11:30 am. Also, be courteous during self introductions and limit your comments. Instead, please send them to Jenette Mathai to be included in the Grapevine. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
