The Women of Quail Creek

2017 Membership Brunch

The Membership Brunch was a smashing success – witches and pumpkins, oh my! The Big Band Sounds of Green Valley was certainly a big sound and had us dancing in the aisles. The brunch was busy with membership renewals and seating sales for attendance at the Holiday Luncheon along with many other opportunities that members were able to take advantage of. Brunch Photos

YOTO Holiday Cards Are Available

If you want to sponsor a YOTO student and did not get a Holiday Gift Bag name and info at the membership brunch you still have time. Names and student information are available in the TWOQC box outside Diane Quinn’s door, 2276 E Skywalker Way. All you need to do is select a card and follow the instructions inside.

You can participate even if you will not be attending the December 11 holiday program. Simply get your gift bag to Diane’s house prior to Dec 11. A recap of the 2016 December luncheon and YOTO gift bag donations.

Suggested gifts:  If your student likes movies, video games or music, think about a gift card from Walmart or Target. That way you don’t have to guess about their tastes and they can select what they would like.
