As your Dean, (1st VP, Liz Franciscus), it is my job to keep our members apprised of events and activities going on in the Palomar District. Our new President, Sherry Lutes, has an exciting year planned for us!

Mini-Leads Training on November 16th via zoom – Sonja Hults will be leading the Mini LEADS event. All members who are interested in becoming further involved in club and Federation leadership are invited to attend.

Bakeless Bake Sale Fundraiser – For our second District Fundraiser, we are having a Bakeless Bake Sale to raise funds for the District. It’s a simple way to support the District by mailing a check in the amount it would have cost you to bake a cake or cookies – without the effort of doing it! All of the information is included in the flyer below.

See flyer below. If you would like to purchase a wreath please make your check payable to the Woman’s Club of Vista by December 1st. You can also use our PayPal account – @womans23clubofvista to donate. Several members have expressed interest in attending one of the grave side ceremonies at a local cemetery on December 14th. More information later as we get closer to the date.
