President’s Message
October 2026
October 2026
Hello ladies of the ENC!
I am back from a great trip to Japan - and what a trip it was! I still don’t know what day or time it is so my apologies for this message being a little late!
It’s October and that means it’s time for our OCTOBER LUNCHEON & STYLE SHOW Presented by Casual Connections! Please join us at The Forest Country Club on October 20th as Casual Connections dresses some of our beautiful ladies! Why not consider bringing a friend? Let’s make this style show our best yet! Also, feel free to wear fascinators or hats for this special luncheon! A special thank you to Debby Mangopoulos for all of her hard work on this and every monthly luncheon!
October is the start of the 4th quarter and the start of our Holiday Quarter of Giving. Once again, the ENC will be supporting Eva’s Closet & Foundation, Laces of Love and The Pace Center for Girls through our Special Holiday Raffle Baskets that will be available at the October, November and December luncheons. We will have FIFTEEN special baskets up for grabs at each luncheon!
In addition to our Luncheon and Style Show, our Events Team (Barbara, Joan and Mary) has scheduled a fun day at Lakes Park in Fort Myers on October 28th. Please join us for a train ride around the park followed by exploring all the park has to offer. Registration will open soon!
Also back this month - Twisted Bingo! Please join your ENC sisters at Naples Flatbread on October 7th for a fun time!
Please visit the Event Registration section of the website to see what is open for registration as events get posted and fill up fast - especially as we gear up for season! Also, remember to be mindful if you have to cancel as there is usually a waiting list for events!
October also means nominations for your 2027 ENC Executive Board including President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary positions are open! Please consider serving on the Board! Nominations will close on October 19th and voting will take place at the luncheon on the 20th! Please consider serving on the Board or as a Coordinator!
I look forward to a great holiday season!
