President's Message
2022-2-23
Greetings Encore Members!
Welcome to a new year with Encore Club. The Club has a terrific board made up of hardworking, creative women. The year is planned and it is wonderful!!! We can all anticipate the wide range of events, lectures and performances at luncheons, monthly social programs, surprise social events, special events and scheduled special interest gatherings. We have an exciting year ahead!!
​
Let’s make it perfect by taking the purpose of this club to heart. We are a social club encouraging friendship. Let’s do just that. Invite friends and neighbors to join this club. As you enter a luncheon, invite someone you don’t know to sit with you. Impress nonmember speakers, performers and guests at our events with our caring and inclusive attitude. Make friends!! Remember to make friends, you must first be a friend!! Let’s embrace each other this year.
I’m so happy to be your president this year!!
