Lake Carroll Women’s Club By Char Messmore
At our February 11th meeting, club members celebrated Lake Carroll Women’s Club Sweet Sixteen Birthday with balloons and birthday cake. The cake was decorated by Bessie Pavell and refreshments provided by hostesses Eileen Gehrke, Mary Lou Jordan, and Phyllis Kehoe. President Lana Soldat recognized eight club members with February birthdays: Val Kachlic, Phyllis Davies, Bonnie Joy Gehrs, Roberta Schoenfeld, Sue Gribble, Bev Wesolowski, Jan Ulesich, and Pamela Richards. Vice President Pia Molloy passed out sheets to sign up for the April trip to Rafters in Lena. Members will need to provide their own transportation to Rafters where we will have lunch and our meeting. Following that we will tour the Lena Brewery and have time to browse in the Red Barn shop. The cost is $11.50 and sign-up sheets will be available again at the March meeting. Ways and Means Co-chairmen Gael Will and Bonnie Ewing provided members with more information about our Saturday, April 30th spring fundraiser which will be a chili dinner along with horse races and fun. All members are being asked to participate by providing food and/or working the night of the event. Sign-up sheets were available at the meeting and will be available again at our March meeting. Nancy Flikkema reported that she had given a check for $100 to the 4-H Club we support. They use these funds for public speaking and the fair they have at Naaman Diehl Auditorium. Phyllis Davies announced that the next blanket tying session will be held on April 26th at 10am at the Lodge. Marve Feucht and Helen Sykora reported that the Hattie Vicker Memorial Committee has decided that these funds should be used to provide a $100 scholarship for six years to an Eastland High School female student who exhibits leadership skills. A plaque will also be made of the poem Hattie wrote about Lake Carroll. The funds totaled $620. Committee members were Marve, Helen and Merce Meyers. Pia Molloy introduced our speaker, Kathleen Weber, who is a Roads Scholar Ambassador. She shared a very informative presentation about the many travel resources available through this organization along with photos of four trips she and her husband have taken through the Road Scholar program. Following her presentation, Kathleen held a raffle for a $50 gift certificate towards a Roads Scholar trip. Bessie Pavell was the lucky winner! Next month…Jill Shaulis from Yellow Creek Quilt Designs will be the speaker at our March meeting. The store opened in 1992 and there have been many changes since then. Join us to hear the history behind Yellow creek Quilt Designs.
