How does a fancy plate full of fruit kabobs and tea sandwiches of chicken salad, egg salad, shrimp salad, cucumber, salmon, and crab salad sound to you? How about a dessert selection of traditional scones and lemon curd, chocolate-coconut squares, lemon bars, and rugalach? These were some of the delicacies created by the Women’s Club Board for members to enjoy at
their Annual June Tea.
All were served upon a grand table glistening with silver tea services donated by Gay Turner and Suzanne Enis. Previous Board Presidents Hope Luedeke and Lydia Reese graciously poured Earl Grey Tea into members’ own treasured tea cups. The beautifully decorated guest tables were created by Suzanne Enis who delighted us with a Victorian theme using silver teapots filled with pink and white floral centerpieces. We thank Lisa Buchner and her committee for preparing this festive finale to our Women’s Club year!
Our Board Members and Committee Chairs shared descriptions of their responsibilities with the assembled club members, and we commended each one for volunteering their time and effort throughout the year. All members were encouraged to become involved in club activities and sign
up for the various committees. Parliamentarian Lydia Reese then presented and installed the 2019-2020 NSWC Officers, who are as follows: President, Terry Link; Vice-President, Jennifer Hochstadter; Secretary, Catherine Bitran; Treasurer, Cathy Tyson.
To conclude a wonderful year of Women’s Club activities, Terry and Lydia presented a slide show highlighting all our monthly luncheons; our guest speakers; the holiday parties; the Fashion Show; our 2018 June Tea and 4th of July Hotdog Lunch; behind the scenes committee work; our Outside Activities; our departed Heavenly ladies; and Niguel
Shores favorite places. The end-of-year slide show has become a favorite final gift from the Board to our lovely ladies!
The Women’s Club began in 1973 with six women. This year, at our June 13 Tea, we celebrated 46 years with a membership of 140! Here’s a reminder to everyone, please turn in your $25 membership dues to the NSCA Office by July 15 in order to have your photo and information printed in our
Membership Directory.
During this summer and through the fall, we will be getting together casually for activities outside our usual luncheon meetings. These Outside
Activities will take place every third Thursday of the month, so members please watch your email for announcements. On June 20, we went to the
San Clemente Outlet Mall for brunch at Ruby’s Diner and shopping together. On July 18, we will take the trolley to Laguna Beach art galleries and lunch. On August 15, we will have a Happy Hour at the Bluff. These activities will be noted in the Seashore News and detailed email invitations will be sent to all club members.
Please join us on the 4th of July when the Women’s Club serves a Gourmet Hotdog Lunch on the Clubhouse Patio from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Your plate will include a gourmet hotdog with all of the fixings you desire, potato chips, cookie, and a drink for $5. Get there early before we run out!
