Thank you to everyone who has participated in our fall fundraisers; the hoagie sale, the basket raffle, and our poinsettia sale. The only fundraisers left are our La Sicilia nights that are scheduled for January and February. Last year, it was decided to cut back on fundraisers, so I really need as much participation as possible in these last two La Sicilia evenings.
Poinsettia Sale
When you read this, our sale will have ended. I’m pleased to share with you that we sold 56 poinsettias, giving us a profit of $260.40
La Sicilia
Our December 17, fundraiser, yielded us a profit of $78.91 Our next fundraiser is scheduled for January 22, 2026 and our final date is February 26, 2026. If you are not familiar with this fundraiser, La Sicilia will give us 20% of the funds collected during the hours of 4 to 8 p.m. The patrons have to mention the Woman’s Club of West Deptford when ordering. This will be accepted for both takeout and delivery. This was a very productive fundraiser for us last year. Looking forward to your assistance in promoting these evenings. Please ask your family, friends, neighbors, anyone you feel may be able to assist us with this fundraiser.
Volunteer Hours
At this point, I am still missing hours from several people. The fourth quarter is now over, and I would like any outstanding hours that you may have to be send to me by the night of our meeting, as I also have to give these to Janice to include in her report. At this point, you should start collecting hours for January of 2026, which will start the first quarter hours. Thank you to those that have been sending me your hours monthly. Please make sure you are also keeping a record of your hours, as they will be needed for
end-of-year reporting if you participated in a committee or a project.
Speakers/Programs
If you would like to suggest a speaker, please reach out with their name and what they would be speaking about. I
also need their contact information, and a brief biography to be used as an introduction. In turn, I will send out a confirmation with the month that the speaker has been scheduled, to both the speaker and the member that suggested them. I am currently scheduling into second half of 2026. Our next speaker will be in February, when we next meet in person. Thank you to those who submitted names of speakers.
