"I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June." --Lucy Maud Montgomery June is almost always perfect here in North Carolina, and as we transition into the summer months, it is also a time of transition for our Board. It has truly been my pleasure serving as [...]
by Todd Taintor, Golf Committee Co-Chair Celebrating our 26-year anniversary, the 2024 Mike Bradley Memorial IFMA Foundation Golf Tournament was another huge success thanks to our membership, participants, volunteers and Lochmere Golf Club (thank you for the 12pm start)! The primary purpose of our annual golf tournament is to provide the opportunity to network [...]
FORE! I could have used that phrase many times at our 26th Annual Golf Tournament… LOL. We had another great turnout, and the weather cooperated for the most part. The passing shower did not put a damper on our networking, fundraising, and fun. I truly appreciate all the efforts of the golf committee and volunteers [...]
Welcome Spring! Now that we have endured the season of pollenating, and hopefully this past week's round of showers has washed away the yellow, I am ready for some spring weather and some great upcoming events. The turnout in support of the Boys and Girls Club this year at March Madness was outstanding. I [...]
ROAR! We are coming in like a lion after a busy February. I hope you were able to attend some or all the great events we held in the last few weeks. I’m so glad we brought back the virtual wine tasting. Looking ahead, I am excited for the Madness of March. This year [...]
Folks, We have reached the point of the year when a furry little guy named Phil leaves his luxurious burrow in the Punxsutawney library to greet visitors and share his knowledge of future weather events. If only we could use rodents to predict other facets of our lives, like how much longer a building’s [...]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope all of you enjoyed a happy, safe, and healthy holiday season with family and friends. As we dive into 2024, I am excited about the great things we have planned for the chapter. Just before the end of the year we held our first joint committee meeting, and I [...]
As we roll into the holiday season, I want to pause for a moment and be thankful - thankful for all of our members. We had an amazing time at our Membership Appreciation event held at the Angus Barn Pavilion. I appreciate all that participated in our sports team theme, and I’m relieved that [...]
BOO! The month of October was “Good, Scary Good”! We kicked off the month with our annual Bingo for Bones event at Montague Lake, and the weather could not have been more perfect. This year we were able to raise over $4,000 for our local animal rescue partners. This chili was tasty, and the [...]
WOW! September flew by this year! If you blinked, you might have missed it. Hopefully you did not miss out on our great events this month. The highlight of this month has been our first ever Boys and Girls Club Work Week event. The chapter truly came together to make this event a success, [...]
Sadly summer is coming to a close, and school is about to be back in session or already is for some of you. But on the bright side we have a fun fall in store. Aside from football, pumpkin spice, and cooler temperatures, we have some great programs lined up. Kicking those off, on [...]
Wow has this summer been HOT! Hopefully you are enjoying ways to cool off and relax with family and friends as we progress through the summer. We kicked off our journey of “Growing Forward” with our July meeting where the Board and your Committee Chairs shared a year in review and goals for this [...]
I am so excited to move into the role of President for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. It is my hope that this year will be one of “Refreshing Growth” as we build upon our post pandemic successes. Your Board and Committee Chairs have some great programs and events planned that will continue to cultivate [...]
