Dear members and friends,

November is a month for gathering and for gratitude, and to celebrate, we have planned a special evening.

Night at the Gallery Gala, Friday, November 13. Please join us for an evening of great food, music, dancing, and conversation, all surrounded by beautiful artwork. It's a chance to dress up, celebrate our community, and enjoy an adults-only night out with friends old and new. Whether you've been with us for years or joined just this fall, we'd love to see you there.

A season of thankfulness. Living far from home can be hard, and it makes the people around us matter even more.

This month I'm thankful for the members who welcome newcomers, the Leadership Team that gives their time and talents, the club leaders who keep our activities going, and everyone who shows up and makes this community feel like a second home. Thank you.

I hope you'll take a moment this month to thank someone who made your own move easier. A kind word can mean a great deal.

I look forward to celebrating with you on the 13th.

With gratitude,

Elizabeth Thornton

Chair
