August – A Busy Month!

Good morning, members!

     August will be here in less than 24 hours and with it, exciting opportunities for us to learn and grow together!  I am listing important info below, so get your calendars and pencils out!

1.  August 2nd  – Our dear friend, Harry Landers, is inviting us (and the Happy Valley Women’s club) to visit his tropical paradise garden from  11 am-3 pm.  That’s this coming SATURDAY!! If you haven’t had a chance to see Harry’s absolutely magical tropical garden, be sure you  stop for a visit!  His address is 12011 SE Mountain Sun Dr. in Clackamas.

2.  August 12th – meeting at the church.  Our guest speaker will be Diane Sayrizi, an Ikebana instructor/artist.  She will be  introducing us to one of the first Ikebana arrangements students learn, called a “rising style.”  And, if time allows, she will teach us a second style! 

       Hosts for the meeting:

            Diana Colvin

            Yvonne & John Kochanowski

            Mary Horton

  Diane Sparks

Also….We will be forming our fund-raising committee!  We will be discussing this during the business meeting. Please think about volunteering – it’s a great way to get to know each other and help our club make money to help other great causes!

3.  August 26th – Coffee Chat at Jazzy Bagels in Gresham, 9 am -10:30 or so.  Address: 5 E Powell Blvd in Gresham.  Take a break from your busy summer days for a great cup of coffee and a delicious warm bagel! If you need a ride, call one of us – Claudia, Roberta, or myself, and we will figure it out.

(…And you thought August was going to be boring! )

Hope to see you soon!

Stay well,

Wendy Young
