Upcoming Events As I entered my house this afternoon, I looked up and
realized that I still had shamrocks hanging from my front
Board Meeting 4.8 7 PM door. Yes, as I write this, it is March. But tomorrow is April.
Out to Lunch 4.14-11:30 Kelly's Where did March go? Greg and I ate outside at a local
Korner-Placentia restaurant and the wind was so strong, plates were being
General Meeting 4.15 7 PM moved. Out like a lion is right!
Out to Dinner 4.22
6:30 TBD Location
I find it interesting that even though we aren’t meeting, our
days are not empty. We are still sewing, collecting denim
jackets, etc. We are participating in membership events like
our Out-to-Dinners and Lucy Huerta’s wine bottle painting
class. Stay aware…we have some other activities planned for
you to join.
I wish I had hard news about when we can meet again. Ann
Walker has taken over the Telephone Tree and she will be
updating the tree limbs. This is our meager attempt to stay
informed about our members. Please stick with us.
At our March General Meeting, we did not have a quorum.
Linda Queen was ready to present the new officers. Carrie
was ready to present the proposed changes to our Bylaws.
Two of our Board Members brought Motions to the Board. All
was for naught. For whatever reason, we did not have enough
members on Zoom to be able to vote on these things. That
A MESSAGE means come April’s General Meeting, these issues and more
FROM THE will need to be voted upon. A member today told me she
doesn’t do Zoom because her computer or device doesn’t
PRESIDENT have a camera. If you don’t have a camera, no problem.
Susie Autry Instead of your face, we will see your name and/or phone
number. And you and your VOTE will count towards the
quorum.

ESO
Epsilon Sigma Omicron (ESO) is a GFWC-sponsored
reading program with the motto: Enlighten your own
pathway.
To attain each reading level, members read books (including
audiobooks) in different categories and submit a
brief report to the club Chairman. You record the book
information and the number of hours spent reading. (A
quick calculation is two minutes per page.) Pledge, report
forms, track-sheet, and general information can be

Kaycee Stack A suggested reading list is included on the website, but you
can read nearly anything you like. This program will
expand your reading experiences. It also gives you
opportunities to learn new ideas, new genres, a DIY project,
history, or just relaxing while reading a good book.

DENIM DAY: APRIL 28, 2021. AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN!
The campaign began after an Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction. The
reasoning? The victim wore tight pants, under threat, she helped the perpetrator take them
off. The court believed this implied consent. The following day the incensed women in
Parliament wore jeans in solidarity with the victim. Peace Over Violence developed Denim
Day to raise awareness of victim-blaming and myths that often surrounds sexual violence.
Make a statement on the 28th of April by wearing jeans and a teal ribbon for Sexual Assault
Month. If someone asks about the ribbon share this story and why you are wearing jeans.
Support survivors of sexual violence by raising your voice! Raise awareness!

SEW KIND AND THREADS OF LOVE
Aileen Baker and Andrea Hagen – Sew
Kind Chairmen
Jackie McPheeters – Threads of Love
Chairman
“April Showers bring May Flowers”, and even though we may
not get many April showers, the groups still shower the charities
with their love and hard work.
The ladies in the Sew Kind group have continued to cut and sew
at home to create the items we donate to the various charities.
The group recently donated 22 of the Trauma Bears to the BACA
organization. Ann Walker came to Aileen’s front porch to pick
them up, so several children will now receive them for comfort.
Thanks to the donation of fleece from several YLWC members,
more bears are in the process of being made so those will be
donated soon. The gals are also working on all the other
projects as well.
Threads of Love is now able to donate their preemie baby items
to most of the hospitals, and once the gals in the group have
been fully vaccinated they will be back to work on all the
needed items.
As always, if anyone would like to help in either of these
projects, just give one of the chairmen a call or email.
BYLAWS UPDATE
Please plan to attend the next general meeting on April 15 so the bylaws
can be reviewed and voted on. Your voice and attendance are important at
meetings so the business can be conducted with a membership quorum
present.

ENVIRONMENT – BIRD SANCTUARY
Club Member Question: When is the best time to trim our trees to save bird nests?
The Audubon brochure below notes most birds nest between February 1 and August 31, therefore,
trees and shrubs should be trimmed during the fall and winter months. In Southern California, nests
of hummingbirds, hawks, owls, and others may be found at any time of year. Always check for active
nests before trimming. “Keep Bird Nests Safe and Your Trees Healthy” brochure online. Also, our
Club has several of these brochures. Please contact me if you’d like one.
Environment/Ecological Assistance:
Through tree and plant trimming awareness and education, we can improve and maintain the
protection and appreciation of our birds, other wildlife, and their habitats. This contributes to achieving
balanced and environmentally sound ecosystems within our communities.
