Our next meeting is at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 2nd, at Tibbetts Creek Manor. Janet Palmatier, a Senior Financial Advisor working in Issaquah, will present a program to help us prepare for what is almost inevitable for women: being without a partner at some point in our lives by outliving our partner, by divorce, or by choice. The program will be followed by a short business meeting. Guests are always welcome. Come join us for the fun!

Fund Raising |
At each monthly meeting, we have a charitable focus wherein members bring in items targeted to a specific cause or charity.
There is no formal June 3rd focus. Instead, the committee will give a summary of all the donations our generous club members gave during this club year.
Each year we also hold a major fund-raiser in November at the historic Pickering Barn. This year’s event will again be our very popular benefit called
Harmony & High Tea, to be held on Saturday, November 13, 2010, at 1 p.m. It will feature an elegant catered high tea,
musical entertainment by a harpist (details to be announced), raffles, and a silent auction. All proceeds from the event go to the scholarships and local charities to whom we have pledged our support, including:
| • The Eastside Domestic Violence Program IWF Educational & Vocational Enhancement (EVE) Scholarship Fund |
