A big thank you to the people who came out to support our November events. The Chocolatrium Tour was wonderful. Everyone who went had a nice time. Afterward, those who were able to went to lunch at Cicontes where the fun continued into the early afternoon. We hope youā€™ll have a great time at these upcoming December events that we have planned for you. Enjoy your ā€œSNEAK PEEKā€ into 2023.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2022: 9-11am Whole and Grounded CafĆ© 5 Delaware Street,Ā  Woodbury, NJ. During this busy holiday season, a few of us found a few minutes to join our club sisters for a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, from 9-11am. We wanted to support this local business, as it is a woman owned, and operated business, and she supported us with a donation at our basket fundraiser.

SPARKLES NAIL SALON 47 S. Broad Street, Woodbury, NJ. If you are in need of a manicure/pedicure for the holidays, weā€™d like to suggest you give this business a try, as they also supported us with a donation at our basket fundraiser. Although walk-ins are welcome, during the holiday season, you might be better to make an appointment for your needs.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2022: 5:45pm Holiday Meeting and Dinner ā€“ Hollywood CafĆ© & Sports Bar 940 Mantua Pike, Woodbury Heights. We hope to see you at our December dinner. You should have already paid and chosen your entrĆ©e. See you there!

We need a head count by the 20th of January so that we can make a reservation.

SHARE YOUR TALENTā€¦As always, if you have a talent/hobby that you would like to share with the group, please let a member of the social committee know. We would love to incorporate the talents from our club sisters into a social event that we can all learn and enjoy.

Your social committee wishes each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season filled with peace, love, joy, and happiness, as 2022 comes to an end and you welcome in the New Year. ā€“ Jody, Margie, Kat & Holly R.
