Hello UKWC ladies,

It’s been a hot summer here, there, and everywhere. Summer is not
my season, but I’m grateful for every day I’m able to enjoy being alive
and in air conditioning! It’s nearly time for cooler days and lots of
UKWC activities. Please join us!
Our Welcome Back Coffee will be on Monday, September 9, from
11 to 1, at Broadway Baptist Church, 2500 Harrodsburg Rd. Invite your
new and old friends to join us as we kick off a new year of interest
group outings, luncheons and fundraising events for our Scholarship Aid
Fund. We ended the year with 177 members, including 32 new
members, and we want to increase those numbers! Please note, the
UKWC is not affiliated with this, or any, church. It is challenging to
find event space for 80+ people at an affordable price. If you have
suggestions, please let me know.
We had a beautiful summer day for the yard sale and made a profit of
$1,024 for the Scholarship Aid Fund. Thank you to Deenee Coolen for
chairing and hosting our event. Thanks to all of our volunteers who
brought tables, sale items, food, sales expertise, and time! A special
thank you to Sara Lee for donating beautiful items from her auction to
our sale.
The plant sale in May was also a great success with profit of $2,089
for the Scholarship Aid Fund. A big thank you to Eileen Langer for
chairing, Marilyn Childre for hosting, and all the gardeners who brought
hundreds of plants to share with others. And thank you to everyone who
contributed tables, food, knowledge, and time. It does take a village to
make our fundraising events a success!
Speaking of success, our Golf Tournament will take place on
September 20 at Lakeside Golf Course. Brenda Farmer is chairing again
this year and has an enthusiastic committee working to ensure a great
event. Ask friends and neighbors to join you on the links for golf, food,
prizes and fun. For our non-golfers, stop by the golf course and bid on
silent auction items including bourbon, restaurant gift certificates, gift
baskets from retailers and more. Sign up now; the registration form is
attached.
I am excited to experience another year of fun, friendship, and
philanthropy with my UKWC friends! Our interest groups offer
something for everyone, and our fundraising events are always a good
time and require a lot of volunteers. We need you and want every
member to be involved! The membership form is attached. Please pay
your dues and make us aware of your interests. I look forward to seeing
everyone on September 9!
Kathy Farah, President
