September President's Letter Cocoa Beach Woman's Club

A.P.L.N.O.*

I hope that you all are enjoying your summer break and are just about ready to return to a busy year.

Each time that I see our scholarship recipients in the spring, it renews my determination to do the very best job possible to make the coming year a big success. Once again, I will be asking most of you for help, so please say yes!

There are two important meetings within the coming month. A District 6 President’s Council will be held in Viera on August 21st. Also, the FFWC Fall Board Meeting will be in Orlando at the Rosen Plaza on September 18-20th.

September is Literacy Month and our general meeting on the 10th will focus on Education. The Principal and Assistant Principal from Cape View Elementary in Canaveral will join us to receive two gifts. We will be presenting a check to start an Emergency Fund. It will be used to aid really needy children as determined by a teacher or administrator. Also, they will be receiving 30 dictionaries from us. Jan Mulberry will make the presentation on behalf of our Education Department. We also have a speaker and a Brunch planned for this meeting. Please plan to come over to our kick-off meeting of the year!

*“A Party Like No Other”

Once again, we are so grateful to Don E. Traver for helping us in our efforts to raise scholarship money. He has really gone all out to help this year. We are having a Gold buying party, but it will be unlike any other. Don donated a $2,700.00 diamond necklace for us to raffle off at our party on October 24th! There will be food, entertainment and free gifts. Each person attending will receive a free gemstone from Don. Additional gemstones will be available at a small price. Don is providing security. So please save your jewelry, coins, silverware, etc. and come to the party.

Plans are well underway for our Second Annual Art / Craft fair in November. It was so nice last year and we hope to expand this year.

We have a special treat in store for December when our state President, Linda Dennis, will join us.
An exciting year ahead? Yes! Please plan to support our events and lend a hand.

Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That’s what we call the Present.
