President’s Message

Hi Newcomer Friends,

Well….we suffered through 110 plus degree weather for day after day. Days it was so hot that every little thing was a major effort. Time stood still and we felt like we were living inside of an oven.

But things (the week that I am writing this) suddenly took a turn for the better. As we speak, we are just about a week away from Autumn and the weather suddenly cooled off significantly. It feels a lot like a miracle. Just when we thought we couldn’t take any more, nature cooperated and the temperature dropped.

And even more suddenly, everywhere you turned there it was. The thing that so many people wait for all year—Pumpkin Spice flavor EVERYTHING!!! Every year there is more and more of it. There is pumpkin spice coffee, muffins, pancakes, waffles, tea, creamer, ice cream, Cheerios, Oreos, candies of all types, soaps and I swear this is true and I bought some…..Pumpkin Spice Milk Bones for dogs. I realized that I now have the bug because I actually bought my dog a box. She was unimpressed.

So, this means that the holiday season is well on its way and I really look forward to celebrating with all my Newcomer friends. There are many fun activities coming up soon. There are games, book clubs, luncheons, Coffee Corners, Second Cup, field trips, tea parties, DIG and DOG and our Halloween party.

As I like to keep repeating….the more you get involved, the more fun you will have.

So, we have a little bit of summer and as we all really know, we have not seen the total end of the heat. It will be back. But in the meantime, we also know our holiday months are almost upon us and so much fun is just around the corner.

See you soon,

Kathi
