Hello, Ladies!<\/p>\n

I hope this finds you doing well as we enjoy these last few warm days. While summer is winding down, your Woman’s Club of Pewaukee (WCP) Board of Directors have been hard at work planning for the year. We have established the meeting schedule and locations and have begun booking engaging guest speakers to enlighten and educate us all! My motto continues to be in the forefront as we look forward to an exciting year ahead:<\/p>\n

“Imagine. Believe. Achieve.”<\/p>\n

Imagine… the possibilities when you shoot for the stars.<\/p>\n

Believe… you can accomplish all your heart’s desires.<\/p>\n

Achieve… the bright future waiting for you just over the horizon. Anything is possible when you believe!<\/p>\n

My butterfly fact for the month is that our State of Wisconsin’s most widespread recorded butterfly is the “Great Spangled Fritillary” (photo left). Have you seen this beauty? I saw one recently while on the Kettle Moraine horse trails!<\/p>\n

Please mark your calendar with our upcoming monthly meeting dates and locations listed below. I look forward to seeing you at our first meeting on October 4th at the Butler Inn!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Abby Lorenz<\/p>\n

All are welcome.
\nMembership DOES Matter – Invite A Friend!<\/p>\n

The GFWC is pushing to increase membership in our chapters because Membership DOES matter and we need to learn how to better recruit, retain and build our local clubs. Pewaukee is ahead of the game because we have already set a date for our New Member Tea event this fall. Please start thinking of women you would like to have join the WCP by encouraging them to attend the New Member Tea, and most important, please send her name, address, phone and email to Ruth Harken so she can send out personalized invitations to prospective members . The date has been set for Tuesday, September 18, at 11:30 a.m. at the Clark House Museum in the Exhibit Building. We plan to enjoy tea or coffee while providing the rich history of our chapter and how our organization is a part of GFWC locally, state wide, nationally and internationally. A light lunch will be also be served. All are welcome!<\/p>\n

Calling all Book Worms!<\/p>\n

Our last book of this past year will be discussed on September 13, 2012 at the 5 O\u2019Clock Club at 11:30 a.m. The book is A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom beer to Coca-Cola, six drinks have helped shape human history. Throughout human history. certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period. A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B.C.E. was so important to Mesopotamia and Egypt that it was used to pay wages. In ancient Greece wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. Spirits such as brandy and rum fueled the Age of Exploration, fortifying seamen on long voyages and oiling the pernicious slave trade. Although coffee originated in the Arab world, it stoked revolutionary thought in Europe during the Age of Reason, when coffeehouses became centers of intellectual exchange. And hundreds of years after the Chinese began drinking tea, it became especially popular in Britain, with far-reaching effects on British foreign policy. Finally, though carbonated drinks were invented in 18th-century Europe they became a 20th-century phenomenon, and Coca-Cola in particular is the leading symbol of globalization. For Tom Standage, each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations. You may never look at your favorite drink the same way again.\u201c<\/p>\n

The discussion leader will be Sue Hoaglund. All members of WCP are welcome to attend. Please let Nancy Niedziela know at rniedziela@wi.rr.com if you are attending so that we can be sure to have enough seats at our table. The Book Club meets the second Thursday every other month. The complete schedule will be handed out at our October meeting. All Book Worms welcome!
