 March 2009
Stay tuned for more information on the Secret Sister Reveal and Scavenger Hunt. We are working to fill the positions for next year's board. If you have interest, please contact Shannon Williams or Mary Kate Finney. I also wanted to thank all our special interest group coordinators who continue to volunteer their time to make our club successful. If you do not plan on heading your interest group next year, please remember that you are responsible for finding your replacement. The next board meeting will be on Thursday,
March 5th at the home of Corinne Rossi (52 Fieldstone Way - Greystone
Manor). Please email me if you have anything for the board to
discuss.
Thank you to all of our Mom Squad volunteers! Spring is coming and hopefully we'll be getting new members moving into our community. Please take notice to the new families moving into your neighborhood and drop off a letter of welcome and newsletter. If anyone wants me to send this information to a new family or just someone from the community that may be interested in our club, please let me know. Once again, guests and new members will be given a little gift of welcome at our next general meeting. Make someone's day and bring them along!
Thank you to Corinne Rodman and Nancy Eckhart
for bringing the delicious desserts to February's meeting. Also,
thank you to Judy Grimm for providing the beautiful floral centerpieces.
Please add the following new member to
your 2008-09 Directory information:
As you have heard, Auction time is near and we need everyone's help to make it a successful event for us and for our Mountain Top neighborhood organizations. Please mark your calendar and invite some
family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to join in the fun.
The date is April 16, 2009 starting at 6 p.m. at the Stage Coach
Inn. . We had 70% of our members donate in some
way to last year's auction. Let's try to exceed that this year.
We can do it! Thanks in advance for anything, no matter how large
or small, you can do to help.
Fire Department Appreciation Bakers: There is STILL a need for a few more bakers this year PLEASE sign up to help! You do not even need to bake something, you can just purchase a baked good from the store (our fire volunteers just appreciate the fact that someone is caring enough to acknowledge their services). A big thank you to January's bakers: Elaine Bernstein, Mary Kate Finney, Barb McLaughlin, Tricia Russell, Shannon Williams (double duty), as well as February's Bakers: Elisa Colo, Lisa Davidson, Kerri Fey, Diane Keating, Pam McGovern and Elizabeth Montanino! Thanks so much to those individuals that donated baby items for Volunteers of America in Wilkes-Barre!!! They will be greatly appreciated. Easter Baskets: We will be collecting items for Easter baskets during the March meeting for children aged 12 and under. Please keep it in mind as you are out and about and see something a child might like in their basket. If you are unable to attend the meeting at that time, we have a drop off point at Mary Kate Finney's home. Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup: A date to be announced, but sometime in May. Please keep this one in mind, for we always seem to be begging for help with this one. As usual, this can go really fast if many people join in. Babysitting will be provided at no cost!!!
Mountain Top Welcome Club in the news: I'm looking for photos of all events such as playgroups and fieldtrips, dinner clubs, special events, adopt-a-highway, picnics, children's parties and any other events that our Welcome Club participates in. I need your help to cover all of our special interest groups. These photos will also be used for our President's album at the end of her term. Please send me any photos you would like published and I will send them to the newspapers. Let's have a great year promoting our Welcome Club!
Please email newsletter articles for the
November issue to me by Friday, March 20th, so that we
can get the newsletter out in a timely manner. If your email
changes during the year, please let me know.

We just got word that they are going
to try and do the Relay in Mountaintop. So Christine
and I are going to try and help. So again we need
to raise 1000 dollars. We are asking for your help.
If you are willing to help(donation or walk) please could
you e-mail Christine or myself ASAP. Before we register
we want to see who is willing to help us. As
Christine and I found out last year it is a GROUP effort..
We don't have as much time this year to really fundraise so we
are counting on THE CLUB. PLEASE REMEMBER
WHAT THE RELAY REPRESENTS. Thanks for your time, Lisa and
