President’s Message July 2024

Greetings! Happy July and Happy 4th. I want to thank Judy Beaumont for a great 23/24 VFN year.  She’s a hard act to follow. I am so excited to be President of VFN.  It is an honor that I hope I can fulfill.  Thank you for having faith in me.  

We hope to get the new year off to a great beginning.  Summer is always filled with excitement and fun and outdoor activities. If you have any suggestions for an outdoor activity that all club members could participate in please let me know.  You are the eyes and ears of the club to keep it vital.  

Please be sure to attend the the July General meeting on July 11 at the Broken Yolk in Oceanside so we can renew acquaintances and give a direction for our new year.  

We need a Coordinator of Special Events.This would be someone that would set up activities. It doesn’t need to be on a regular basis. Maybe two or three a year.  Activities in the past were Picnic at Double Peak park, A day at the movies, A visit to a special play or art exhibit at the Escondido Performing Arts or a local play at Moonlight or another theater. 

Please let any of the Board members know if you would be willing to coordinate the Special Events. Thanks. 

Hope to see you all at the General Breakfast meeting on July 11 at 9:30 at the Broken Yolk. 

Judith Ernst

President’s Message December 2023

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The season has begun! The pressure to buy the perfect gift. Thinking about the food we will serve, the decorations, the parties and of course, the wrapping of the gifts. After all the planning of the Holiday, take some time for you to relax and enjoy your family and friends. This is a sad time for many of us that will miss someone at our festivities. Keep them in your hearts and think about the past holidays that you spent together. Share the memories with your family. I’m sure they too will have memories to share. No matter what Holiday you are celebrating it is my wish that you and your families and friends have a blessed and peaceful Holiday.

Judy Beaumont, President

August 2023 President Message

Summer is finally here.  I hope that you are enjoying your time with family and friends in many summer activities.  If you’re traveling, be safe and enjoy the wonders of our great nation.  If you’re staying home, plan a staycation with one day outings.  Just enjoy the summer as fall will be upon us in no time.  Our August calendar is filled with many exciting activities for each of us.  Debbie Draper has several programs planned for the year.  At our August 10th meeting there will be a speaker from the Animal Shelter and some of the items that they need are listed below.  We can look forward to September’s meeting where a program on self defense for women and children will be presented.  Looking forward to seeing you at our August meeting.
