and “hug” a neighbor!

  • $42,000 in contributions made to the five charities supported by TWOQC (Military Baby Shower, Youth On Their Own, Scholarship, Fashion Show for Cancer, VA Clothing Drive)
  • $950 in contributions from TWOQC General Fund to (Honor Flight, Green Valley Fire Department Toy Drive, Quail Creek Employees Appreciation Fund)

Check out these remarkable numbers:

  • 14,234 items donated by the VA Clothing Drive, VA Support Group, Baby Shower, YOTO
  • 5,627 hours of volunteer time or the equivalent of 2.76 WY (work years) were provided by 171 primary volunteers/ committee members

All of this in 2018!! The teamwork and effort required for the accomplishment is both impressive and humbling. TWOQC is a committed group with the good fortune to be supported by a compassionate community. We share this news with great pride.

And, More Good News!

The Veteran’s Golf Association of Quail Creek recently presented the Military Baby Shower Committee with a significant monetary gift for purchasing those all-important diapers.

Our thanks to the VGA who continue to provide TWOQC support.

YOTO (Youth On Their Own)

L-R: Jon Quinn, Ann Young, Diane Quinn

Diane and Jon Quinn represented TWOQC at the annual Spring luncheon of Youth On Their Own, YOTO, on Wednesday, March 20. The luncheon included moving commentary by several YOTO students, alumni and ambassadors. Demand for YOTO services continues to grow. With over a 13% increase year to date, YOTO is now providing school, counseling, and stipend support to 1900 homeless youth in Pima County.

The Quinn’s were fortunate to be seated at lunch with Ann Young, YOTO founder. Ann shared stories of the early days of the program as well as her continued dedication to its success.

FMM: March 22, 2019 — President’s Message: 

  • 15th Anniversary and Party
  • Something New Is In The Air: FMM SHORTS 
  • Member’s Corner: Spotlight on Tessie Hagerich

15th Anniversary and Party

Party Survey

We want to hear from you. We would like your assessment of the Casino party. If you did not attend, please share your reasons.

You are providing valuable information for future event planning. Please take a moment for this very SHORT SURVEY. Thank you.

Now the Party Fun!

The glamorous and gorgeous TWOQC chicks ventured out for a bit of high rolling Monday afternoon at the Madera Ballroom. The much-anticipated event was the 15th Anniversary celebration of the founding of our organization in 2004. Original Board members, Jan Howard and Suellen Vatter, were honored guests.

The fun began with a rousing toast to 15 years of friendship and service. The passed appetizers of stuffed dates and mushrooms, wrapped asparagus, mini quiches, and ham bites arrived. Ladies fanned out to slot machines: Black Jack, Roulette and Poker tables, and the Wheel of Fortune. The gaming tables were completely occupied until party’s end. High rollers and beginners were greeted by friendly dealers and attendants. Promptly at 4:45 the playing stopped and everyone counted their chips. The winners of exciting gift certificates were:

  • 3rd Place Janet Mathis ($50 Starbucks)
  • 2nd Place Pam Hartwell-James ($100 Modern Beauty Bar)
  • 1st Place Patty Ackerman ($115 Tubac Golf Resort Spa plus bracelet & earrings)

 

Shout Outs and Many Thanks to:

  • Marianne Cobarrubias, Webmaster, for a fabulous video recap (“13-minutes of 15-years of memories“), and for background music to set the scene.
  • Eileen Sykora, Club Photographer, for scores of fun casino pictures. Also to Diane Quinn and Sandi Beach for their photos added to the online photo album.
  • The Decorations Team, chaired by Sandi Beach, who turned the ballroom into a festive casino atmosphere.
  • The Planning Committee, chaired by Carol Mutter, that made it all possible.

Everyone had a fun and memorable afternoon. Enjoy this photo album LINK.


Something New Is In The Air

The Friday Morning Message is taking on a new look!

Beginning in April, the message will be delivered and posted to our website every other week. The (new!) Friday Morning Message Shorts (a.k.a. FMM Shorts) will be the alternate news release. During those “between weeks” information may be found on the website at the top of the homepage (womenqc.com).

FMM Shorts will be composed of updates, reminders and alerts. The publishing team along with the Executive Board is committed to providing information that is relevant and fresh. We want to ensure readership and promote the use of our powerful website.

Member Spotlight: Tessie Hagerich

Tessie is a medical technician and has enjoyed working in her chosen profession. However, while living in South Florida she took a much needed hiatus from a position in an intercity trauma center to do budgeting for the school district.

Tessie and her husband, Keith, (who was her high school sweetheart) enjoy traveling to visit their children in Philadelphia and Atlanta. The couple moved to Quail Creek in 2016 from Great Falls, Montana. It was their thirteenth relocation as they were required to make many moves around the country for their careers. They hope this is the final stop as they both absolutely love Quail Creek.

Tessie can be seen out and about with her dog, Beaux, who takes her on their daily walk. Tessie is a member of the Fine Arts Club and enjoys painting and taking some of the many classes offered to members. She joined The Women of Quail Creek shortly after moving here and loves having fun by helping out with different worthwhile events and meeting new friends.


Thank you to the contributors of this FMM: Yasmin John-Thorpe, and Eileen Sykora. Publishing Team: President, 1st Vice President, and Webmaster.
