∴ PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ∴

July is almost over, and we are enjoying the Monsoon rains. Although many of our members are away, there are still a number of us hanging around Quail Creek! If you are in town on July 25^th, please make an effort to attend the monthly program. The presentation is about Therapeutic Riding of Tucson (TROT). Margaux DeConcini, the Director of Development, will tell us about this wonderful organization. This is a members-only program but as a reminder to all Quail Creek female residents, you are invited to join TWOQC for access to all of the organization’s programs, events, and small-group activities. Visit our Membership page (Join or Renew website tab) for more information.

On another note, Bobbi Gordon recently tendered her resignation as Activities Coordinator and Chair of the Bereavement Committee serving local women. TWOQC thanks her for her years of service and contributions to the organization.

The Executive Board of Directors is currently reevaluating the Activities Coordinator position.

∴ FOOD DRIVE FOR AMADO YOUTH GROUP ∴

Thanks to the generous donations from so many members we were able to give just over 550 individual items to the youth group for their summer camp. The supervisors were impressed with the variety of non-perishable foods—many of which were very healthy—that we collected.

∴ SCHOOL TEACHERS SUPPLY SHOWER ∴

The Community Outreach Committee has embarked on a project to collect supplies needed by teachers to keep their classes running smoothly. Each year most teachers have to dig deep into their pockets to buy the items they need. The collection period will run until July 31.

Items the teachers identified as needed are on THIS LIST (link).

There will be a box in the Madera Clubhouse for donations from July 21-30. Items may also be taken to 2197 E Desert Squirrel Court at any time through July 31 (placed on the yellow bench in the front entry). We hope Quail Creek residents will support TWOQC in this effort.
