Please bring your order sheets and checks to the October 11 meeting. Diane and Pat

payable to Cary WomanÕs Club. 

Yearbooks 

The yearbooks are here! Thanks SO much to Silvia who has toiled for months on the 
new and updated yearbooks while supporting her husband in his recovery. We 
appreciate your efforts. 

Arts 

In January, CWC will be holding an Art Fair. Lillian and Betty want as many members 
as possible to participate. Review the attached Arts Festival document and see if you 
can bring at least one item to the General Meeting. Only photography must be done in 
the last year. Other entries can be older as long as they have never been submitted 
before. First place winners will be submitted to the district fair in February. Winners 
then go to the State meeting in April. We need your participation! Contact Lillian Smith 
if you have any questions. 

Conservation 

Uli Gratzi will present our program today on Honey Bees. In addition to designing our 
Page-Walker Pollinator Garden, and volunteering with us to keep it going, Uli is also a 
passionate volunteer with Apiopolis, a nonprofit bee sanctuary in Raleigh. This 
sanctuary received the 2017 Raleigh Environmental Award for an Emerging Business 
that promotes natural and sustainable beekeeping practices with a focus on 
conservation. Under Apiopolis, Raleigh has become a ÒBee CityÓ. Maybe Cary can 
become one too? 

Lois will also announce the date of the Fall Gardening day to put the garden to bed for 
the winter. 

Education and Home Life 

Please sign up with the Education CSP to volunteer your time at Kingswood Elementary 
School, to work with the Scholarship Program, and/or to help with Note in the Pocket. 
DonÕt forget you must go to Kingswood or another Wake County school and fill out a 
short on-line form to get a background check before working in the school. Please see 
Maryanne or Mary-Mel for more information. 


This month, Jane and Nell are joining the Education CSP in sponsoring A Day of 
Service on October 12. Please contact Mary-Mel ASAP if you have not already signed 
up. 

Public Issues and Domestic Violence 

We are collecting new and/or gently used costumes for the Interact Fall Festival. 
Costumes must be fun not ÒfearfulÓ. There is special need for costumes for children 
10+. Second hand stores such as Kid to Kid or Once Upon a Child are great places to 
find costumes, as well as asking your grandchildren. Bring your contribution to the Oct. 
11 meeting or contact Elzbieta Hibbs to arrange pick-up. Deadline to get costumes to 
Elzbieta is October 22. 

In early December, we are once again supporting InteractÕs Holiday Bazaar. We will be 
using our allotted funds, but it will not be enough. So please bring new items to the next 
two meetings, such as socks, scarfs, kitchen items, journals, etc. that we will need to 
complete the baskets. 

ItÕs also not too early to sign up for the February prison visit. See sign ups on the back 
table. 

Membership and Hospitality 

One of our main goals for this Club year is to increase membership! Please consider 
signing up to help the Membership Committee achieve this goal. Diane is also heading 
Hospitality. She needs help with the Holiday Luncheon at Prestonwood, especially in 
securing entertainment. Sign up at the back table with Hospitality and/or Membership. 

September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month. So we will be going 
to Totopos to enjoy some Mexican Street Food after the meeting. 

In November, we will once again attend the Cary Page RotaryÕs spaghetti lunch/dinner 
after the meeting. They support some of the charities we help, including the Boys and 
Girls Home of NC. 

You may also begin bringing your checks for the Holiday Luncheon. Give checks to 
Carol French, beginning October 11. Cost is now being confirmed and Diane will 
announce it at the meeting.
