President's Letter

Hello Women of Nassau!

Dear Women of Nassau:

  

The August Luncheon was amazing! Lynda Bell had an excellent presentation on all the new programs and partnerships at Keep Nassau Beautiful. 


WON presented a check for $1,000 to Barnabas Center for their Empty Bowls program. There is still time to paint a bowl for the event! We will be going back to Amelia Makery on Thursday, Sept. 21st at 4:00 pm.


This month our program will be presented by Sylvia Purvis with Pinky Promise. As a kick-off to Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, WON will present Ms. Purvis with a check for $500.


This last quarter is filled with activities! Read on about all the activities. I am sure you will find something fun to do! And be sure to bring a friend or two. There are other fun events coming up: Fiddler on the Roof at the Alhambra, the AIGS Annual Cemetery Tour in October, and a Mixer for members also in October just to name a few. 


Remember Welcome Coffees have a NEW date; the third Monday of each month at 10 AM at Story and Song. Come and join us for coffee and bring a friend! Let others know WON is the Club to be part of for fun and finding friends!


Thank you all for your continued support of WON!

"WON Sister" Project

PURPOSE:  A "WON Sister" is a current member of Women of Nassau who would like to help guide and introduce a new member to the club and WON's various activities.


GUIDELINES:


  • All interested WON members can sign up to be a "WON Sister" by completing the form below and submitting or by contacting either Gay Dunlap (gaynoradunlop@gmail.com) or Nancy Gallimore (nancygallimore1@gmail.com)
  • The membership committee will determine which "WON Sister" best matches a new member participant.  (Permission is asked of new members to assign WON Sister via the membership applications.)  A current member who brings in a new member can automatically be considered the new member's WON Sister.
  • New member's contact information is shared with the WON Sister after the Membership Committee's initial welcome call.
  • The WON Sister calls to introduce herself and to invite the new member to join her at the new member's first luncheon/business meeting/etc., introduce her to the membership at that meeting, and follow up after learning about the new member's specific interests.
  • If the new member is also new to the area, the WON Sister may be able to answer other orientation questions.
  • The WON sister will be available to the new member for at least the first 90 days of Membership with WON to encourage participation and foster fun and friendship.


  

If you are a current member and would like to participate in being a "WON Sister," please fill out the form below and "submit."  Someone from the Welcome Committee will contact you.  Thank you for being a member of Women of Nassau!

Luncheon Price Increase

Good morning, wonderful Women of Nassau

I want to address the recent price increase for our luncheons at Amelia National Clubhouse and the Board's decision to continue our luncheons at Amelia National for 2023.  First, I would point out that there are limited venues in the area that can accommodate a group of our size.  While $32 may initially seem a bit high for lunch, we have contacted several other venues and none could beat or even meet this price, and several were significantly more.

If you have been grocery shopping lately, you know that the cost of food has increased significantly recently. Many restaurants have had to increase their prices.  This affects the kitchen here as well. I would also point out that Amelia National provides a three course luncheon, with appetizer - salad or soup - entree with a side dish, bread, iced tea, desert and coffee.  If you went to any nice restaurant and ordered salad, bread, entree, side dish, tea, desert with coffee, then add tax and tip, your tab would easily be $32 or even more. And the quality of the food here at Amelia National is top notch - I have not had more delicious food any where for any price!

The $32 also includes value beyond just the food.  An elegant white tablecloth dining room in a beautiful setting. The room is spacious and doesn't feel crowded even for our largest gathering.  Amelia National provides the room at no cost, as well as amenities such as the microphone and speakers, large tv for presentations, extra tables for our program, champagne glasses if needed - most venues charge extra for the room as well as these other amenities.  The room is quiet and private to facilitate our pre-lunch business meeting, for socializing and making new friends during the luncheon (one of our organization's main goals), and for presentation of our programs.  The service is always professional, prompt and friendly.  To add more value, the meals will now be plated and served to your table for the remainder of 2023. 

So at first I thought $32 - yikes.  Then I thought about what is included with that - not only a delicious meal with DESERT, but I get to participate in my club's business meeting, socialize with my girlfriends and meet new friends, and receive an informative and/or fun program, all in a lovely and elegant setting.  Oh, and with convenient and plentiful free parking! Wow - $32 is a bargain!


If you are concerned about the price increase for lunch, I would ask that you consider these thoughts about the value that you would receive for $32.  We would love to have you join us again for future luncheons!

Thank you for listening and I hope to see you at our future luncheons!
