Ladies, Get Ready for Some Fun in 2021! TWOQC are launching a new way to stay connected. On Tuesday, February 2, we will launch our members only, Groupworks group. Groupworks is a free club management platform that simplifies member communications, handles event scheduling, collects payments, and frees up quality time for group leaders and members to do more of what we love, having FUN! Many of our QC Units and clubs already use Groupworks to stay in touch.

On February 2, you will receive an email from Sandra DInnocenti, inviting you to join TWOQC on Groupworks.

If you are already a Groupworks member with other groups/clubs, you will simply login and accept the invitation, and TWOQC will be added to your groups’ list.

If you are new to Groupworks, the email will give you login information that you will use to create your own Groupworks account. If you are not confident when it comes to computers, no problem. A training manual was emailed to you on January 26. We will also hold a live Zoom training on Friday, February 5 at 10 AM, where you can get the help you need. This is an exciting new step for TWOQC, we hope you will join us!

For questions, email Sandy at groupworks@womenqc.com.

Sign up for some lively February fun, compliments of your Programs Committee! February may be the dreariest month of the year where many of us hail from, but here in southern Arizona, the sun always shines, and fun knows no season.

Tues., February 16 – 10 AM: For those dreaming about their spring gardens, Charlene Westgate of Westgate Garden Design will be offering advice on pruning desert plants.  She will have lots of great photos to share as she talks about the timing and techniques of pruning in our desert climate. There is no charge for this Zoom program, but you do need to make a reservation! PROGRAM DETAILS

Mon., February 22 – 1 PM: The Trivia Challenge will be returning for another round of friendly competition and general silliness. If you’ve never attended a trivia event, this is your chance to get your feet wet and your humor restored while meeting some new people. No cost. Reservation required. PROGRAM DETAILS

Valley Assistance Services is in need of a printer for its WorkForce lab where unemployed persons can prepare job applications and resumes. They also need a vacuum cleaner for a client.

Please take any donations for both organizations to Peggy McGee’s house, 1908 E Longspur Place on February 3. She will deliver them to the respective charity.
