2018 TWOQC Membership Dues

If you wish to renew your membership before our membership brunch on October 30, you will find forms in TWOQC’s slot in the hallway of the clubhouse as well as on the website at womenqc.com

• There is a form (in Word) on the website that gives you the opportunity to type in the information. This makes it much easier for the membership and Internet team to get the email address right the first time.
• There is also a block on the membership form asking if you have any special talents/experience (e.g., writing, fund-raising, decorating). That information will help us if we ever need special help for one of our projects. [… Membership form] 
• Anyone renewing now will have their dues paid through December 31, 2018.

Completed forms may be dropped off at or mailed to Angie Werner’s house at 1924 E. Orinda Lane (map). Checks for $25 should be made payable to TWOQC. For any further information you may email Angie at membership@womenqc.com.

2-inch wire ribbon in all colors!

Only four months to go — and they go fast! Many volunteers met last week for a great planning session.

As you know, the theme is “Colors of Cancer.” Peach stands for uterine, teal and white stand for cervical. Each cancer has its unique color or colors.

Colored wire ribbon is needed to prepare bows for the many gift baskets for raffle prizes. As you travel around town, if you see a garage sale or are going by the White Elephant or Goodwill, consider purchasing wired ribbon. They may be dropped off at Carol Shelton’s home located at 2415 E. Overview Lane.(map) There is a box on the front patio.

The Polo shirts have been ordered and the expected delivery date is approximately October 17. We will notify you when they arrive should you want to pick them up. Or, they will be available at the Brunch on October 30. Thanks for your patience in getting the shirts.
