April Quarterly Meeting Re-cap
A great time was had by all who attended our April quarterly meet-ing at Becket’s: delicious food and great, accommodating service! Our entertainment for the evening was Brian Pribbernow who taught us how to make beautiful fresh floral arrangements very simply but ending with a very elegant piece…...yes, even we could probably design one. (LOL……this means laugh out loud in com-puter lingo!)
Funds raised at Sweet Sensations were presented to the following or-ganizations and their representatives: Women’s Division Scholar-ship Fund/Jaye Roeming and Nancy Crha; United Way Dolly Par-ton Imagination Library /Sue Panek, Executive Director of Oshkosh Are United Way; Hope and Care Center of Oshkosh/Roxanne Ja-cobson and Julie Amstoy.
This is what the membership of the Women’s Division of Oshkosh Area, Inc. does! We work at our fundraisers to raise money to do-nate to worthy charities, and have the satisfaction of handing the checks to the recipients, and enjoy a delicious dinner with our fellow members! Who wouldn’t want to be part of that?? (See last page.)
Women’s Division of Oshkosh Area, Inc. (est.: 1957) We, as members, are proud of what we have accomplished and hope to continue our mission in years to come. We can only do this with the much needed helping hands, energy, passion, and ideas it takes to help with our various fundraisers and plant the seeds for new ones in the future. If you know of any women who would be sincerely interested in helping Oshkosh in this way, please bring them to a quarterly meeting, have a newsletter sent to them, or have them contact our membership committee, Cindy Knaggs at 235-5180 for more information.

Anyone wishing to order a name badge, please contact Mary Berger at 233-1411. We have special pricing at $6.50 each if we order at least three at a time.
