With the many WON activities this month, March has flown past! On March 9, WON members filled two tables at the Blue Fire Theater Mystery Dinner. While we did not detect the murderers (or even the murdered), I wore my long white gloves and won the Best Dressed Award! We enjoyed dinner at the Patio on Friday the 15th, and the WON Welcome Coffee on March 18 was a success as usual. Our monthly luncheon on March 21 featured a very interesting program by Susan Ziel on the history of handbags (I loved the photo of Princess Grace Kelly with her Hermes bag). The raffle drawing of one of Susan’s Wabi Creations handbags was a big hit as well.
At our March Board meeting, we discussed how to determine whether a new idea is an activity or an event. While no hard and fast rule was identified, in general we determined that an event is a one-time club-wide endeavor wholly or partially funded by the club. An activity is undertaken by a subgroup of the club and is funded by the participants. Per the WON By-Laws, new activities and events must be approved by the Board. To expedite this, please submit your ideas or suggestions for events to VP for Special Events and Education to Joy Kemp and your ideas and suggestions for activities to Activity Chair Karen Boyce. These ladies will then submit these to the Board for approval and help to organize the event or activity.
Thank you for your responses to the Member Activities and Events survey sent out this month. Results are being compiled and will be announced later this month, along with how the Board will be addressing your responses. Several great ideas were received and we are looking forward to implementing as many as possible.

April 18 Luncheon
· Our next luncheon is April 18.

Lynda Watson, President
