October Salad Potluck—Friday, October 14 @ noon
We hope to see a huge turnout for our October salad lunch which always features our member’s delicious salads. As it is that time of year, costumes are welcome, but optional. We will be celebrating several “other” October themes and think you will enjoy the variety of table decorations by our ever-so-creative committee members. We will be entertained by the
Kit Roberts Trio as well, There is no cost for this luncheon; just bring a salad dish and enjoy the entertainment. Please RSVP to Ellen Bavaro to get an accurate seat count but if you forget to RSVP, show up anyway! WE WANT YOU!
A Message from the President, Bobbi Cherry
Hello Ladies! Thank you for such great attendance at our first meeting of the year! Our Board did such a great job at giving us a “beach party”! And, I haven’t heard yet of anyone getting a sunburn! A big thank you goes to Mary Carson for a job well done on our directory. Make sure you check it out to make sure your information is correct. It is nice to have our birthdays in it for the first time and I’ve counted 13 birthdays in October. We will have a salad luncheon on the 14th. Our Board meeting will be on the 4th. Come and see how things go. We start at 10:00. Cindy Moreno is looking for someone
to help her with the Bulletin. Are you interested? Our days will start to get shorter now, our leaves have started to fall, the holidays are coming. Stay well, Bobbi Cherry

I've learned .... Quotes from Andy Rooney
That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my
day!' makes my day.
That being kind is more important than being right.
That it's those small daily happenings that make life so
spectacular.
(courtesty of Laura Vopatek)
September Dessert Faire
Our September meeting started off with a bang! We welcomed 4 new members who will be officially introduced to the club next month. Joanna shared her inspirational message that “for some people, their favorite season is the one we are in.” We were given information on the state of our water issues by city staff Geoff and Shane. Debbie Audet ‘s ice-breaker game was won by new member, Pat Hermenegildo. Pat Schiller and Joanna Van Blaricom got to split the Opportunity Drawing, walking away richer than when they came. Elisabeth Koch-Murray gave us an update on the kitchen project and Alison shared our upcoming fundraisers which promise to be even better than last year! Everyone went
home full of sweets and plans for the coming year.

WINNERS
SILLY LADIES…...
Dear Woman’s Club of Arroyo Grande,
I am writing to thank you for your generous
$1000 scholarship. I was very happy and ap-
preciative to learn that I was selected.
I will be a Business major with an emphasis in
Management. I plan to pursue a career in
promoting numerically effective and
personally ethical business practices upon
graduating from Azuza Pacific University. I
will continue to keep you updated at the end of
each school year with my progress. The finan-
cial assistance you provided will be of great
help to me in paying my educational expenses, and it will allow me to concentrate more of my
time for studying. Thanks to you, I am one
step closer to that goal.
By awarding me the Woman’s Club of Arroyo
Grande scholarship, you have lightened my fi-
nancial burden which allows me to focus more
on the most important aspect of school—
learning. Your generosity has inspired me to
help others and give back to the community. I
hope one day I will be able to help students
achieve their goals just as you have helped me.
Sincerely, Lexie Neumann
Dear Mrs. Koch-Murray,
Please find enclosed my class registration for
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Once again, I thank
you and the scholarship committee for helping
me achieve my academic goals.
Sincerely, Victoria Garcia
Dear Ms. Koch-Murray and Alison Stuart,
I am very honored to receive the scholarship
from the Woman’s Club of Arroyo Grande.
Thank you for awarding the scholarship and
having me and the other recipients honored at
the luncheon. I will attend Cuesta College and
participate in their music program. The money
I receive from this scholarship will go towards
purchasing an instrument of my own. Your
financial generosity has allowed me to be one
step closer to my goal of obtaining a Bachelor’s
Degree and becoming a professional musician.
Sincerely, Collin Odom
Dear Scholarship Coordinator:
I am honored to be a recipient of your scholarship and hope to represent the Woman’s Club of Arroyo Grande in my academic future. It is hard to express the level of gratitude I feel and I am truly thankful. My last few years have not been particularly easy and financial stability has always been a burden. In preparation for college, I have had a job since I was 15 and done everything I can to save for my educa-tion. However, my earnings can only take me so far and this scholarship is such a blessing to me and my family.
After putting endless hours of hard work throughout my 4 years at AGHS, it is incredible to see my efforts rewarded. This scholarship will not only allow me to pursue my future at Loyola Marymount University in the Fall, 2016, but also to strive for success. It will give me the opportunity to focus on my future with-out the stress of finances and truly enjoy the experi-ence. I hope to be involved in campus activities, the local community, and find internships that will teach me about the business world.
Long-term, I hope that I will find success in starting my own business and be able to share my success with young women who have had similar struggles. My life has taught me the value of money and I am so grateful for this chance to succeed and am very excited to begin this new chapter of my life as I begin my educational venture at LMU.
I want to thank you for helping further my education by making this scholarship possible. I look forward to keeping you updated on my life at LMU next year!
Sincerely, Maile Minardi
THANK YOU LETTERS FROM OUR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
Dear Woman’s Club of Arroyo Grande,
I am more than honored to be the
recipient of your scholarship. I can assure you
that your donation will be wisely spent. Upon
graduation, I will be attending Fresno State
and will major in criminology and double mi-
nor in psychology and business. I plan to work
for the FBI on missing persons and homicide
cases. I am the first generation to go to col-
lege. To my parents, this is a dream come true
and it is all thanks to you. I am very excited to
start college and achieve my goals but it would
not be possible without your help. Thank you so very much.
Your friend, Jennifer Alvarez Rosas
Dear Mrs. Koch-Murray,
I am writing to provide my campus ID and class
schedule for the 2016 Woman’s Club of Arroyo
Grande Scholarship. I was just able to make my
schedule last week due to a late orientation date. I
am sorry this is hand-written but my printer is
broken and I wanted to get this sent off ASAP to
avoid possible time issues. Thank you for every-
thing; the generosity of this club is astounding and
my family and I are eternally grateful for that. I
will keep in contact and hope you all have a great
day. Thank you again. It is people like you who
make dreams of going to college come true.
Sincerely, Dustin Atkins
Dear Woman’s Club of Arroyo Grande,
I have included proof of registration to Cal Poly
San Luis Obispo. Thank you so much again for
this award; it will help me so much.
Thank You! Alexandria Simmons
To the Woman’s Club of Arroyo Grande,
I am writing to thank you for honoring me with
the Woman’s Cub of Arroyo Grande Scholarship.
I was thrilled when I learned that I am to be a
recipient of this generous award. I plan to begin
the Cuesta College RN program in August of this
year and graduate in the RN Class of 2018. After
26 years of concentrating mostly on the needs of
my family as a wife and mother, I now have the
opportunity to train for a career as a registered
nurse. Working as a nurse, I will be able to
provide a living for myself, provide a positive
example for my two grown children (and my husband) and play an important role in my
community. I was born in Paso Robles at the old
hospital that is no longer here. I still live in Paso
Robles and have lived here most of my life. After
graduation, I intend to remain here and work.
This is my home. Thank you again for helping
me. One day, I want to help someone in the
same way you are helping me today.
Sincerely, Alyson Rae Clegg
THANK YOU LETTERS FROM OUR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
Hello Judi,
I wanted to update you on my progress at San
Diego State University. I have one semester
until graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in
Nursing. I appreciate all of the ladies’ gener-
osity and just wanted to take the time to
thank you and update you on my success.
Currently, I have been accepted in an
externship program through Sharp Memorial
Hospital and look forward to my future
nursing career. Thank you for your time and
for all your support over the years.

ANOTHER GREAT FUNDRAISING YEAR HAS BEGUN! Greetings to all my fellow ladies of the Woman's Club; it was a pleasure to see many of you again at the September meeting and I look forward to working with you to give back to our community as successfully as last year. Our first fundraiser will be our 9th Annual Artisan Faire on Saturday, November 19th from 10 AM to 5 PM at our clubhouse. We will have a number of new gifted artisans this year joining some of our "veterans" so I hope you will all plan to stop by and do some early hol-iday shopping as well as enjoy a snack or lunch at our Faire Cafe. We will have a special raffle again with the prize to be announced shortly - tickets will be on sale at the October and November club meetings as well as
at the Faire itself. Robyn Dunne will definitely need help with publicity so please sign up with her at the October meeting to distribute posters; remember that everyone can get the word out just by mentioning this and other upcoming events to your family, friends and neighbors. If you would like to help with the Cafe and have not already signed up, please let me know - our first organizational meeting with be on Friday, October 7th at 4 PM at the Red Dirt Coffeehouse and anyone interested is invited to please join us - even if you can't work on the day, your input is very welcome. If you want to be a vendor and have not yet signed up for a space, please let me know immediately as space is very limited this year. I am always open to your observations and opinions on all our fundraising efforts so don't hesitate to call or email (I'm "in the book" :) My contact info is: (805) 473-1866/isalicat@sbcglobal.net. Thank you in advance for your support, time and help— With much love and hugs, Alison.
Mark your calendars for the first Out
and About of the 2016 - 2017 Year!!
Friday, October 21st will see the Woman's Club
touring the Dana Adobe in Nipomo. The Adobe
was begun in 1839 and completed much as it ap-
pears today in about 1851. It remains the most
historically significant residence in San Luis
Obispo County. For many years the Casa de Dana
provided a stopping place for travelers along the
old Camino Real. Our tour is scheduled for 10:30
am. If you would like to car pool, we can meet in
the parking lot of the Woman's Club at 9:50 and
ride together. Lunch after the tour. A $5.00
donation is suggested. Please RSVP to Barbara
Schieffer at 805.473.2906 or
bs2you1942@aol.com or Judi Boudreau at
408.316.3747 or judiboud@aol.com
ARROYO GRANDE PIE
MAKERS WANTED!
Due to the generosity of Mary Carson, we have
quite a number of beautiful large green apples
that would make outstanding apple pie. If anyone
would volunteer to make apple pies for the
Artisan Faire the apples should definitely last until
then (properly refrigerated) and we can sell them
specifically as: Arroyo Grande Apple Pie. (Naturally
other kinds of pie are very much welcome, but I
thought this might be a successful marketing
strategy to sell yet more pie this year as people
might like something super local!) Let me know if
you are able to make apple pies and if so, how
many, and I'll make sure to get you the apples!
Thanks! Alison
