July Meeting
Come join us on Wednesday July 1st at 7pm at The Main Cup. After elections, Kathy Carliss has arranged for a PartyLite Candle Representative to come and show us some of the great items PartyLite has to offer right now. There is NO pressure to buy- in fact, we will be given order forms to take home to give to family and friends, because 50% of the sales will go to FCPOM!!! Your attendance at this meeting will help support our club so please come out and join us for a great time!

President’s Pen
Carol Wellen
And so we say goodbye…
The club year is over, and this is my last newsletter and my last President’s Pen. I know not everyone has the time to read the newsletters, but I want to thank all of you who take the time to read my little notes and give me your comments and feedback. It’s nice to know someone out there is reading this!
I really have enjoyed my time as President – it was more challenging than I expected, but it made me appreciate all the good this club does and can do. I want to thank my fellow board and committee members this year: a SINCERE thank you to Amy, Nikole, Kathy, Kay, Regina, Debbie, and Victoria. Without all of your help, the club would not have functioned!
I also want to thank Suzanne, Amy, Nikole and Angie for running for the 2009-10 board, and I’m sure you will do wonderful things with the club! I’m really looking forward to staying involved and running the Yard sale, and I hope to see a lot of you there in September!
Thanks again for a great year!
