TWOQC VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

We would not be the organization we are without membership volunteers!

♥ Have you ever wanted to be involved with the TWOQC Board? Now is your opportunity to! We are looking for someone who enjoys writing short articles about what is happening with TWOQC. The title for this position is 1^st VP/Publicity. The current person is willing to train and help when needed. If this is something you would like to know about contact Carol at president@womenqc.com.

♥ We still need two volunteers to take orders for TWOQC T-shirts and visors at the table at our monthly programs. This only involves about 30 minutes one time per month. Please contact Carol at president@womenqc.com for more information.

SEPTEMBER TWOQC PROGRAM

TWOQC September program will be held on Monday, September 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Madera Ballroom. Daniel Armenta from «Youth on Their Own» will be the featured speaker. This is your opportunity to learn more about this program and get answers to any questions you may have.

Please bring any school supplies, food items for YOTO’s pantry, or gift cards to the program to top off our Fall commitment to YOTO’s students. «PANTRY ITEMS»  «SCHOOL SUPPLIES LIST»

OKTOBERFEST – Supporting the TWOQC Scholarship

Sunday, October 29 · 4:00-7:00 p.m. in Madera Ballroom

Last week we talked about food, this week it’s the fun. The Bouncing Czechs, Tucson’s polka band, will provide music for listening and dancing.

In addition to food and fun, there will be a 50/50 raffle as well as a raffle for gift baskets.

• Tickets for the Oktoberfest gala are $30 per person
• 50/50 raffle tickets: 6 for $5, 14 for $10, and 30 for $20
• Come see us for your tickets on September 18 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the lobby of Madera Clubhouse Grill

Checks should be made payable to TWOQC Charity Account. Remember, you can purchase tickets for your spouse, significant other, friends, or if you want complete strangers for this fun-filled evening.

Just a note: Those wishing to sit with friends at tables of ten should purchase tickets together. To expedite ticket purchase, please bring a typed or printed list of names if you are buying multiple tickets.

BASKETS

Both large and small baskets are needed for the raffle to be held during «Oktoberfest». Please bring them to the program on September 25 and place them on the Scholarship table at the rear of the ballroom. If you are not attending the program, baskets may be delivered to the home of Marilyn Beim, 595 N. Yucca Butte Lane. «map»

PILSNER GLASSES

The Scholarship Committee is considering offering Pilsner beer glasses for sale to support its scholarship program. You would not only get a 16 oz. keepsake glass with the club logo in green on one side but also a free fill of a craft beer at the «Oktoberfest» on October 29 for only $8. Unfortunately the glasses are only sold in lots of 72 so we want to make sure we have a sufficient number for all interested persons but we also do not want to have too many.

If you think this is something you would be interested in purchasing, please let us know at pastpresident@womenqc.com by Wednesday, September 20 so we can get them ordered in time to ensure delivery in time for the «Oktoberfest».

HOMELESS VETERAN’S CLOTHING DRIVE

MOVING BOXES NEEDED!

We are in need of small and medium size moving boxes in good usable condition. The consistent size of moving boxes is preferred as they stack better in the Quail Creek catering truck that is used to transport most of the donations.

If you are able to help, please contact Laura at 625-4033 or email clothingdrive@womenqc.com.

YOUTH ON THEIR OWN

(Click image to enlarge)

Diane Quinn and Sue Ann Obremski visited YOTO on Sept 8 to share a draft of the cookbook being created for YOTO students.

During the visit they dropped off hundreds of small spice packets created by members of the YOTO committee and designed to help the students enhance their cooking experience. Several members of YOTO’s staff, particularly Nicola Hartman, YOTO’s Executive Director, expressed their great appreciation for the support TWOQC and its membership is giving YOTO. It is clear that our efforts are appreciated and making a difference for these hard working students.

Also during this visit, Sue Ann presented Kristyn Connor (Director of Development) a gift for her baby on behalf of The Women of Quail Creek. Kristyn’s thank-you note is posted on the «2017 Thank You’s» page.
