Happy New Year from the Niguel Shores Women’s Club!
We welcome our new members Kathleen Girvetz, Petra Lemilin, Julie Chis, and Meg Schuler into 2021. We invite interested Niguel Shores ladies to join us on Thursday, January 14 at our monthly Luncheon Meeting. Throughout the year, we have wonderful speakers, delightful outside activities, fabulous fun and friendship—plus our marvelous Fashion Show in April, Home Tour in May, and lovely June Tea. Please contact Jennifer Paige jenopaige@gmail.com or Judi Palladino twopalls@yahoo.com for more information about Women’s Club membership.
Last month, together with the Men’s Club, we collected brand new, unwrapped toys for the children of the 5th Marines at Camp Pendleton. Two overflowing boxes of toys were received joyfully by the Pendleton representative right before Christmas. Thank you to Niguel Shores Women’s Club and Men’s Club members for your generous toy donations!
Our November destination to the Christmas Boutique at Roger’s Gardens was a wonderful outside activity filled with the holiday spirit, and our lunch outdoors at the Farmhouse Restaurant was a delightful experience. Members, please watch your email for the announcement of details about our outside activity in January—a walking trip at the Harbor.
On January 14, our featured speaker will be Danielle Kuhn, owner and chef at one of Dana Point’s favorite restaurants, Maison Café and Market. Born and raised in Orange County, Danielle has worked in the local restaurant business since she was in her teens. She is French and Italian, and although the café focuses on French cuisine, her recipes incorporate influences from many cultures. Stop by Maison for breakfast, lunch or dinner and join us to learn more on January 14.
For the coming year we are focused on a fresh start. As your Co-Presidents, we would like to share our personal wishes for 2021 as we enjoy life in Niguel Shores:
■ Terry Link—“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” This quote from A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh has made me promise to take a moment each day to thank God for a blessing He has provided. Please give me a positive attitude, hope, and peaceful thoughts as I enter 2021.
■ Sharon Stewart—In 2021, I resolve to give myself the gift of patience every morning and throughout the day. That way, I’ll be kinder to myself and to those around me as well. Patience will keep me from paying the high price that stress demands of my body and mind.
HAPPY NEW YEAR NIGUEL SHORES FRIENDS!
—Terry Link
