sunriver women’s club
www.sunriverwomensclub.com President’s message “Whatever community organization, whether it’s a women’s organization, or fighting for racial justice… you will get satisfaction out of doing something to give back to the community that you never get in any other way.” — Ruth Bader Ginsburg That pretty much sums up one of the main reasons to get involved with SRWC. Sure, we have many fun, engaging social events, but it’s the opportunity to combine that fun with the philanthropic core, aimed directly at our local community, that makes this group so unique. So, “Jump on In!” and check us out. We have a new website and a new Facebook page. Take a look and see all we have to offer. -Debbie Dunham, president

READY FOR A CHANGE IN 2018? Central Oregon continues to be recognized nationally for its livability and lifestyle. For many years, we have helped bring great people to our local communities and helped others take their “Central Oregon Spirit” to other areas. Housing prices are rising, but not at the runaway pace we saw in 2007. If you’re planning on buying and holding for several years, purchasing could be a good decision. If you’ve been thinking about selling or moving up, you may have realized some solid gains and there are many qualified buyers. Many of you are familiar with who we are, what we do, and how we do it; if not, we look forward to showing you! Best wishes for the New Year!
