President's Message

I have been fortunate my whole life to have been surrounded by women who understood the meaning of volunteerism.  From the time I was very young, I have witnessed the spirit of what it means to step up and lend a helping hand in my community.  That is why, as an adult, I wanted to set that example for my children.  I am very proud to continue a tradition that I saw my mother and her friends set, and I am so happy to be doing this with the women of Saint Andrews Woman’s Club.

I have chosen as my theme the claddagh.  This is an Irish symbol that stands for:  love, loyalty, and friendship.  All three attributes I have witnessed firsthand, at SAWC.  The love the women of our club show for each other in the work we do; the loyalty we give to the club and the organizations we help; and, the friendships that we have formed while serving others has always been an inspiration to me.  I have seen the dedication the women of SAWC put forth in all that we do, and have always treasured being a part of this community of women.

I hope this year is no different.  I hope that all of you feel the love, loyalty, and friendship that I have always enjoyed here.  With your support, I look forward to the year.  I hope I can be as supportive to each of you in all the tasks we set out to undertake.

I want to thank not only the board for their time and talents, but also, to the rest of our club for the work you do on behalf of our community.  I look forward to working with each of you this year.
