From the Executive Director

Hi Friends,

The Social has been buzzing with excitement lately. If you haven’t heard our fantastic news, we were

awarded the $500,00 grant for the renovation and expansion of our building! There is much work to be

done and money to be raised, but our number one priority is you - the members. This project will allow

The Social to better serve our membership by having larger rooms for activities, wider hallways, easier

access to restrooms, an advanced health and wellness center and much more. Having recently

received this exciting news, I don’t have a plethora of information for you...yet. I look forward to sharing

updates with you through our newsletter and Facebook page. If you have any questions, concerns or

want to know how you can help, please stop by my office for a chat!

You will see in this edition of the newsletter that we have a lot going on this Fall. You can support our

building fund by joining us at our famous Purse Bingo Fundraiser in November. All proceeds that

evening will directly support the construction phase of our project and we would love to have you there!

Now where did I put that hard hat?

Sincerely,

Andrea Sutherland

Executive Director
