PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Theme: “Your Time is Your Gift to Others”
It’s a brand new club year with endless possibilities to volunteer for projects that enhance our
community and beyond. In some cases, you may never meet the man, woman or child on the
receiving end but you can rest assured that they felt your presence. It may have come in the
form of a warm blanket on a cold wintery day, a gift during the holidays, a vaccination that will
save lives, or something as simple as a bra that will ignite a business opportunity ultimately
changing generations of lives.
We also offer the opportunity for hands-on projects closer to home. Some of these projects
are one-and-done and quite a few are ongoing. You do not have to wait to be asked to
participate. An email, phone call or raising your hand at a meeting will connect you to the
chairpersons who are also listed in your yearbook. You just need to decide how to spend your
time.
You may also want to spend quality time with fun-loving club members getting together
outside of the monthly meetings. If you aren’t familiar with our Club Sections, I hope you will
be by the time you finish reading this article. There are three ladies that definitely follow my
President’s theme of “Your Time is Your Gift to Others.” They spend their valuable time
coordinating and arranging get-togethers that all participants enjoy. Once again, there is an
open invitation for you to join.

I would like to thank Debbie Vincent for spearheading the Bunco brigade last year and Crystal Gates
who is continuing the legacy of laughter and fun. If you have played Bunco before, you know that it is
a relaxing evening of fellowship and friendship. Bunco meets in the clubroom on the second Tuesday
of the month at 7 p.m.
Sandy Weinrich meets monthly in the clubroom with ladies sharing thought-provoking information,
questions and answers about a group of books recently read. They always welcome new ideas from
members. The Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 9:30 a.m.
Our Socialites Chairperson, Dottie Jensen, is constantly thinking ahead about interesting places to meet
for lunch and dinner. She makes sure the venue has enough space to host at least 25 ladies and that
the menu is appealing. So far, she hasn’t missed a beat. Dottie will have sign-up sheets at the board
and general meetings. Dinner is on the fourth Thursday of each month and lunch is on the second
Wednesday.
The best way to make sure you don’t miss out is to read your newsletter and add the events
to your calendars. All three of these Club Sections offer an opportunity for you to chat with
others in very relaxed settings. However there is no limit on activities to explore. If you
have an idea, please don’t keep it to yourself. Instead, let’s talk about how to get it off the
ground. As I mentioned in my first sentence, this new club year offers endless possibilities.
I’m looking forward to participating with all with you.

It was a wonderful weekend recently at CFWC State Convention in Costa Mesa. We had lots of fun and excitement, especially when we heard “Yorba Linda Woman’s Club” called out numerous times as awards were presented! We’re in the Large Club category (based on # of members) and compete with many other large clubs throughout the state. It is quite an honor to win state level awards -- so let’s give these ladies a great big pat on the back and our hearty “congratulations” for winning:
• Large Club Newsletter Contest (Jan Lavison, YLWC Newsletter Editor) • “Creativity Award” in Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention for our Slippers of Serenity project
(Shelly Garland, YLWC Program Chair) • 1st Place/Area D 2016 Membership Award (Susie Autry, 2016 YLWC Membership Chair)
Let’s also give a big shoutout to club member Karlene Ballard, who is Orange District’s Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention Chairman. She won the Large District Award for her hard work as district chairman this year! Orange District, itself, and several other district clubs also received awards. Gotta say, it was loads of fun watching our very own Marcia Willett jump up, scream, and run to the podium each time! I wonder…has Orange District ever seen this much excitement at state convention?! YLWC also submitted four (4) art pieces (winners of our recent Student Art Contest) to compete in the CFWC Art Contest held during convention. I am proud to announce that all four of “our students” won awards! These talented students and their parents will be at our June club meeting to receive their certificates. Here are a few photos of all the fun….(also attending, but camera-shy, were: Louise Hernandez, Susan Hillman, Lucy Huerta and Kaycee Stack).

In 1961, the Yorba Linda Woman's Club gave their first scholarships by awarding two local students $50
each. This year, on May 4th the Club awarded approximately $20,000 in scholarships and art awards funded
by our club, our wonderful sponsors and proceeds from the Spring and Fall Craft Faires. These students are
ambitious role models who exemplify the values of the Yorba Linda Woman's Club Among the glitz and
glamour of the Yorba Room, 40 local high school students from local area schools received their award
certificates and checks. In attendance at the ceremony were the students' families, friends, art teachers and
school principals as well as several local dignitaries: Mayor Pro Tem Gene Hernandez, City Councilmember
Tara Campbell, and representatives from the offices of Congressman Ed Royce, Senator Josh Newman,
Assemblyman Phillip Chen and Supervisor Todd Spitzer.

The committee is open to any suggestions the members may have to add to our education projects. This has been an active year for our education volunteers. Mary Lien has done a fantastic job as our Topaz Elementary School Liaison for the reading program. Many of you have helped with this project. Our Box Tops for Education brought in over $40 to donate to Topez Elementary School. The Yorba Linda Library display turned out well thanks to all the wonderful projects we were able to display. We are looking forward to next year. Remember to save those Box Tops for Education, mainly from General Mills products.

Thank you to the members that have registered! Your support is appreciated!
For anyone new to Relay for Life it is a team fundraising event where team members take turns walking
around a track. Our event is 19 hours in length and each team is asked to have a member on the track
at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps. Cancer patients don't stop because they're tired, and
for one night, neither do we.
Each team sets up a themed campsite at the event and continues their fundraising efforts by collect-ing donations for food, goods, games, and/or activities. This money will count towards their overall team fundraising goal.
Sign-up now for next year’s Nominating and Bylaws Committees. Contact Peggy
Markson or use the sign-up sheets at the June 8th and next Fall’s General Meetings. Information about the committees is in the Yearbook. Peggy Markson, Parliamentarian 714.637.3576 ~ [email protected]
VETERANS MEMORIAL CELEBRATION Each year the YLWC attends a Flag Ceremony to honor our veterans at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Yorba Linda. The event took place this year on May 25th. Afterwards, the last Socialites Out-to-Dinner for the year took place at the Gusto D’ Oro Restaurant.
