Dear Members:
The month of May marks the start of a new year for KCWC. Congratulations, as
well as, thanks to
our newly elected Executive Board and 2010-2011 Committee Chairs. I would like
to extend a special
thank you to the membership for their vote of confidence in my ability to serve
as President of KCWC for another year. I truly appreciate the membership's
overwhelming support and participation throughout the year. It is because of
this that KCWC has enjoyed such success, growth, and increased presence in our
community. It is my hope that all members will renew their memberships this
month. Also, consider becoming involved with a committee - this will enable you
to become more familiar with our organization.
Our program this month will consist of our installation of officers, as well as,
a review of the past year. Our special guest will be Judge Rex Emerson.
Thank you to those members that supported Belk's Charity Days.
As always, your support and consideration are greatly appreciated. Looking
forward to seeing everyone at the general meeting.
Until next month, 
Dolores
HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY AND COMING YEAR!
