About the March Luncheon:
Spring is on the horizon and the promise of longer days, sunnier skies, and warmer weather is something I am sure that we all welcome! I began to think about our membership and imagining what some of our members would be doing beginning in March. Many of them are planning their next “getaways” while others are deciding whether they want to come back home or extend their winter vacations. Umm – I can see Jean Mahan breathing a sigh of relief after completing her February book review. Then there is Sally Raiteri reviewing some of the final plans for the June luncheon. Ann Wolf and her nominating team are still “dancing a jig” because they broke the record for finding a “needle in a hay stack”. Marsha Tolle may have solved the issue concerning her name badge. Denise Hedley is day dreaming about more ways that CWC can interconnect with The DWC and sweet Peggy Beavin may still be asking the question – “When is President Stallworth going to get my first and last name right?” I believe that we will continue having an amazing 2018 season of fellowship, learning, growing, extending our talents and services to the outer communities. March is one of months that boasts of 31 days and although a new month comes with new challenges and purpose for us, may each of those 31 days bring many reasons of celebration for you while you drop the last month into a silent past.
Talk about uniqueness, some trivia concerning March: March is “National Women’s History Month, there is a National Pig Day, Peanut Butter Lovers' Day, Old Stuff Day, National Salesperson Day and the World Day of Prayer and how can we discuss the month of March without giving a grand shout out for “St. Patrick’s Day” – March 17th. Locally, I found some events that you may find interesting:

The College Women’s Club of Dayton, Ohio
March Outreach: March! The month we can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and the first day of Spring!
Find one or two names of members in your CWC yearbook who were inducted into our club two (2) years before your induction. Make a phone call to them and say “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” or “Happy Spring”! You will possibly will make a new friend(s) to meet face to face at the April luncheon.
CWC Board Meeting: The board meeting will be held on March 5 at 10:30 a.m. at the Dayton Woman's Club.
March Newsletter Deadline: Tuesday, March 6 to Teri Wilson by either email or snail mail. Teri's contact information is in the yearbook.
About Our Members:
Book Review by Malou Hurst: At Christmas my granddaughter Meredith (12) gave me a copy of one of her favorite books, “A Wrinkle In Time” by Madeleine L'Engle. The book was written in 1962 so (of course!) I had not read it as a child. No matter! It was great fun reading it as an adult. Any book that starts with "It was a dark and stormy night" is bound to be an adventure. And what an adventure it is as we follow Meg, her brother, Charles Wallace, and friend Calvin, plus some wonderful old ladies as they travel through time to rescue Meg's father. The writing is delightful as are the characters. What fun being a kid again for an afternoon--try it!
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 11, 2018. Remember to turn your clocks FORWARD one hour!

Marilyn left a HUGE hole in the Money Management Study Group. No one would accept the responsibility and obligation as the leader. The programs that were planned for March and April were cancelled. The checking account that was maintained was closed and the money was given to The CWC Scholarship fund in memory of Marilyn. The study group documents will be given to the historian. Unfortunately, the Money Management Study Group was dissolved as of February 1, 2018. Everything has a life span and Money Management reached the end.
