1 Parker Newcomers Peggy Hunter Editor pncnewsletter.com Presidents Message Liz Johnson A note from your incoming president...to each of you. Thank you for the confidence you had in electing me president of Parker Newcomers. Thanks to Carolyn Hedeen, the board members, committee chairmen, and those in charge of the numerous activities for the wonderful job they did during this last year as they volunteered their time and talents to PNC. We are lucky to have another wonderful group of women to do the same, so the year can be one of the greatest. Please note a few changes that are taking place. Our dues are due in June. This will enable the Membership and Directory committees to get our new directory out to you by September. We will continue to have 1st Wednesday coffees and the potluck dinners throughout the summer. I hope you will be able to attend these events. I would love to hear from any of you who have ideas for programs, places for our luncheons, new activities, Out & About ideas, and names of people you ve hired for jobs around the house that did a fantastic job (we want to put a list in the directory). Keep in mind that PNC is a vital part of our community. We strive to make new friends, provide activities for social contact and welcome newcomers from Parker, Douglas and the surrounding counties to our group to acquaint them with the many advantages we have to offer. I am looking forward to a great year with you. Let s make it happen. Have a wonderful summer.
