A Note from our Co-Presidents:
CHRISTY WILSON and JANET EVANS
Grow Where You Are Planted
Spring is in the air, heightening all of our senses in exhilarating ways.
Vision is without a doubt one of the most important of our five primary senses. Our eyes provide us with the ability to see and thereby understand our surroundings, the words we read, and for gardeners, the beauty of the roses we smell. Vision is also used in a different way. Vision is also a thought process -- a means of looking into and thinking about the future.
As we shared at the January meeting, we have formed a Visioning Committee to collectively and intentionally consider our Club’s future. This is a small ad hoc group that has no authority to enact or change policies, rules or time-honored traditions. It could be likened to a “think tank” where ideas are shared and perhaps result in new creative ways of doing what our club holds dear.
Our first meeting was held on February 23. The consensus of the group was that we as members joined VGCLJ because we value the traditions of the Club, we value the objectives that form the framework of our civic projects, committees and events that bring us together. We love the “sparkle” of our Club every time we are together.
We encourage you to think about how you can engage in new ways, and to consider taking on a new role as a committee member or in a leadership position.
When we share a common vision, working towards a more engaged and vibrant volunteer organization, we will remain proud of the bonds we share and the camaraderie we find.
Christy and Janet
