Our next meeting will be on Thursday, April 18th. We will enjoy a delicious lunch of fruit salad, California chicken, baked potato, steamed broccoli, rolls and butter, coffee and tea.
Message from our President:
I can’t believe that the 2023-2024 NC State University Woman’s Club is ending for the summer, but what a great year it has been. It has been a year of exciting programs, entertainment, fellowship and the addition of new members. I want to thank the executive team, committee chairs and members who have helped make this year such a huge success. I look forward to working with everyone to make next year just as good or better.
During the summer the weather is hot. We are working outside more, at the beach, going on picnics, drinking more beverages and using more paper products, cups, cans and bottles. Our program this month will inform us on what can and should be recycled. We all need to be recycling as many items as possible to decrease the amount of trash that goes to the landfill. I’m sure after this meeting we will be more conscious of each item we throw in our trash cans that should go into our recycling bins.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer. Be safe, have fun and enjoy each and every day. A newsletter will go out in August informing everyone of our September meeting.
GO PACK!!!!!

Program Committee:
We have many who are curious about what happens with our recycling and solid waste. Luckily, we have Bianca Howard coming. She is in outreach for Solid Waste Department for Wake County.
This should be very interesting. As our President, Dean, said “Can hardly wait to see the table decorations.”
We really need two more people on the program committee. It isn’t a lot of committee time. We just condense the list of suggestions, and each person takes one or two to contact. We help each other.
Please consider volunteering-it is a fun committee, and we’d love to have your input.
Grace Hodgson
Program Committee Chair
Feed the Pack:
Exam time is coming!! A hungry student will not be able to concentrate and do well!! Please bring non perishable items-macaroni and cheese, pasta, sauce, soups, cereals, etc., to the April meeting. This is our last chance until September to make sure our ‘kids’ have all they need to finish the school year with a bang!
Food insecurity is real!! And we CAN make a difference!
Membership:
Please remember to renew your membership for next year. We are looking forward to another good year of programs and the opportunity to learn more about our university and community from our speakers, as well as time to enjoy socializing with old and new members. Thank you to everyone that renewed at our last meeting and to those who have mailed their membership form and dues.
Don’t forget to sign up for one or more committees. The club needs your help, plus it is a great way to get to know the other members.
Sandy Donaghy
Membership Committee Chair
Scholarship:
This year, there were four recipients of the Carol Caldwell NCSU Woman’s Club Scholarship. The four lovely ladies who were awarded were very grateful and deserving. We look forward to hearing great things about them in the future.
Their bios are attached…
