To All TWOQC Members

It is with a thankful heart that I would like to take this time to express how much I appreciate our members of Women of Quail Creek. TWOQC members are the most caring, loving, helpful, thoughtful and selfless women I have had the opportunity to volunteer with.

Thank you so much for all that you do and for volunteering in many different ways. Your actions are priceless! My wishes go out to each of you for a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Veterans Day

A sincere thank you to Julie Daines, Air Force veteran and TWOQC member for laying The Women of Quail Creek wreath on Veteran’s Day at the Green Valley Cemetery service. Peggy McGee and Carol Mutter were there for support. TWOQC loves and appreciates all veterans.

A Homeless Veteran Needs Some Help

Recently a veteran became homeless when a fire destroyed their home. Fortunately, no one was injured but the family got out with only the clothes on their backs. We donated some clothing. They have moved into a temporary home but have some needs to get re-established. If you are interested in helping with further donations, please view THIS LIST. If you can help with any of these items, you may drop them at Peggy’s house on Monday, November 27 and she will get them to the VA. If you have questions, please contact Peggy at pastpresident@womenqc.com.

2018 Military Baby Shower

Remember the next meeting is on December 6^th, 10:00 to 11:30 at the Kino Conference Room.

Wine Totes and Pilsner Glasses

Unfortunately the totes and glasses did not arrive as anticipated. They are now scheduled for delivery on December 4^th in the late afternoon. If you pre-ordered either item, you will be notified when they arrive.
