NEW! (March 19) Anniversary Party Feedback Form

Whether you attended the March 18th Anniversary Party or not, it is our hope that all members will access the FEEDBACK FORM and provide us your comments, etc.

In case you have been traveling and have not heard the news, TWOQC is celebrating 15 years of fun with friends and dedication to charitable causes. A $15 ticket is your passport to the gala.

Casino attendees will enjoy passed appetizers created especially for us by the talented Chef Aris, a magnificent video of 15-years of club activities, no host bar, $500 in gaming chips, 2 full hours of glorious classic tunes by many favorites (Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Jimmy Durante, Satchmo and more), and a glass of bubbly to toast. Preview the party music list.

You will enjoy mingling with friends, meeting new ones, playing casino and party games, and in the end you could be one of several lucky winners to take home a great prize!

Do purchase your last-minute ticket today. Contact Bobbi Gordon at 625-9353. Ticket sales close at midnight tomorrow night (Saturday).

Our March Wine and Welcome Party for the newest members of TWOQC included Victoria Wolfe, Fran Wetternach, Marsha Royer, Trisha Manske, Cathy Gilmore, Susie Eckhardt, and Peggy Bishop. Cheers, Ladies! We had a lovely afternoon getting to know you and sharing about the mission of TWOQC. Photos by club photographer, Eileen Sykora.

Wine Totes for Scholarships

(wine not included with tote)

If you need a hostess gift when you are headed for a Saint Patrick’s Day party, consider a wine tote and help the scholarship program. Each tote holds at least two wine bottles in individual pockets with a cushion divider for protection. The smaller external pocket is perfect for cocktail napkins or a corkscrew. There are other uses for these adorable totes. A brilliant member who purchased a few uses one as a travel tote when carting her knitting supplies to doctor appointments. All of this for a bargain price!

Please contact Suzan Bryceland at (404) 824-3129 to purchase a green tote at $4.

If you were one of the lucky ones who won a basket at the Fashion Show and loved everything in it but don’t know what to do with that basket, please consider letting the committee use it again. Just drop off your basket with Pam at the Clubhouse Concierge Desk and it will be stored for next year’s Fashion Show event. Thank you!

Homeless & Hospitalized Veterans

Please drop items for collection to Laura Colbert’s, 2040 E Cypress Canyon Drive. If you are hosting a Saint Patrick’s Day party and have leftover napkins, plates or cutlery, please save them for the homeless veterans and drop them along with unopened travel-sized toiletries items.
