The 2025 New Member Wine & Whine on April 16 was well attended by new and existing members, and many guests!  We even had two guests join our branch that evening – Jill McClaughry and Daphne Renelle. 

The New Member Wine & Whine event is a collaboration between the membership team and the Wine & Whine host.  Denise Weyl, Karen George, Sherrie Wren, Susan Parodi, Kathy Hansell and Pat Toombs decorated the Grange Hall and provided a wonderful catered dinner, as well as serving wine and soft drinks provided by the branch board.  Members who have joined since April 2024 were introduced, and we learned a little about each of them. 

Our branch’s extensive list of interest groups was briefly described, and current members of each group identified so other members could talk with them personally and get additional information about joining each group. Krisse Boursier handled the emcee role beautifully, and Elizabeth Mandel did a terrific job taking pictures of all the attendees.  If you missed our event this year, please plan on attending in April 2026!
