THE WOMAN’S BOARD

The Woman’s Board was formed in 1976 by an enterprising group of women to support the entity they considered vital to the unique quality of their community. Their children had spent Saturday afternoons playing ball in the gym of the Community House, watched movies in Matz Hall on Friday evenings and congregated during after-school hours at the bowling alley. Over the years, the landscape of the Community House has changed, but the fundraising efforts of the Woman’s Board has always stayed constant. Today, eighty-five percent of the funds raised by the Woman’s Board go directly to the operating budget of the Community House, with the remainder earmarked for special projects and needs. Our members are a multi-generational group of women, working together to support and promote the Community House. We work in a team environment with many opportunities for individual contributions. Members of the Woman’s Board are “ambassadors” for the Community House.

Wonderful Barbara Bush left us on April 17, 2018, holding hands with the love of her life, George H. W. Bush, her husband for 73 years and 3 months!

George H. W. Bush joined her on Nov. 30, 2018, with wonderful accolades for his lifetime service to our country!! This dynamic couple holds the record for the longest married Presidential couple and also the only Presidential couple to be parents of a U. S. President since John and Abigail Adams. Fantastic insight, admiration and true love are presented in two spectacular books by their amazing granddaughters, who learned such powerful life lessons from their astounding grandmother they called “The Enforcer” and Gampy, who was the “brightest of a thousand points of light”( George W. Bush’s eulogy)!

Barbara Rinella, who had the privilege in 1994 of dramatizing Barbara Bush: A Memoir and was even thanked personally by the spectacular author could not resist the opportunity to create this program to give special tribute to true American Heroes!

This new program will be based on two wonderful books written by the Bush’s grandchildren: George and Barbara Bush, A Great American Love Story by their granddaughter, Ellie LeBlond Sosa and Kelly Anne Chase, and Sisters First, Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush.

Light refreshments will be served.

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a whiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but has become popular among adults as well.
