June Letter from President, Cocoa Beach Woman's Club

Thanks to all who attended and helped to make our Installation Luncheon such a success. We were so fortunate to have state President-elect Teddy Hulse available to do our installations. Special thanks go to Barbara Holden for the lovely program booklets. And thank you to everyone for my beautiful necklace. It was a total surprise! You are all very good at keeping a secret.

Marilyn, Jean, Bobbie and I have been working on next year’s budget. We have made a few changes and feel that we have some new and different plans that we can all enjoy.

It’s that time of the year and the scholarship applications have arrived. The high school winners have already received their awards. A very big ”Thank You” goes to Marilyn Grigsby for all she does as Scholarship Chairwoman. We had two sets of applications: one for high school seniors and one for the BCC women returning to the work force scholarship. Evaluating the applications were Lucy Tolson, Lynne Lamy, I.B. Johannson, and myself. Seeing the applications and the need always makes me wish that we had more money to give.
Please try to attend our next general meeting on June 4th. We have invited many special guests.

They include:
The two $1,000 Scholarship high school recipients.
The $1,000 Performing Arts scholarship recipient
The representatives of Cocoa Beach High School Band, Orchestra and Chorus who will each receive $75.00 awards for their respective programs.
The two CBHS winners of H.O.B.Y. awards
The winner of the BCC scholarship
The Athletic Award winner
The counselors from Cocoa Beach High School.
We can be proud of each of our recipients and also ourselves for being able to give these awards. As we always do, we will be giving a total of 12 savings bonds to 4 area schools, Roosevelt Elementary, Cape view, Freedom 7 and Our Savior.
At the June 4th meeting, we will be welcoming 3 new members. Being installed will be Pat Dugan, Rozan Jordan, and Betty Rokes.
Many thanks to Terry and Janice for their hard work on the Gala again this year. The decorations were really pretty and thank you to Julia George for your help with them.
As many of you are enjoying your “Northern Break” this summer, Jean Carey and I will be putting together our 2009-2010 schedule. Jean does such an outstanding job planning our programs and we can look forward to another great year.
Barbara Holden and I will be attending a Spring Workshop in Grand Haven on May 29th. The focus will be on Membership and we can all certainly benefit from that.
Have a wonderful summer and we will “see you in September”.
