Welcome from the President

Hello Everyone

Happy New Year!   We sure have seen a lot of snow lately—I grew up in Dallas and just love the sun.  So February is one of those months where I start to think sun, sun, sun.  But as I talk to my daughter Grace during those dark rainy, snowy days we talk about having fun.   There are so many activities to do in New England--she has tried—ice skating, sledding, skiing, etc.   It is so much fun to watch her get excited about the new activities.   So look this month at our calendar, there are so many events—So Let’s Have Fun.  Try as many new activities this month as you can.

Also we have a special wine tasting this month. It is a fundraiser for our summer camp fund.  Members will have the opportunity to give a child a chance of a lifetime. It is often taken for granted that all children attend some type of summer camp especially here in Andover and North Andover.  However, there are many families in our own backyard that cannot afford to send their children to summer camp.

In order to help our neighbors in need, we are holding a special event this month, a Wine Tasting Fundraiser and Silent Auction to help send four children to a summer camp of their choice.  It promises to be a fun filled evening that you won’t want to miss.  If you are unable to attend the event on February 27th, you will still have the opportunity to bid on the fantastic silent auction items online.

Let’s have fun this month!  Anne Hammond
