President’s Message
September 2026
Hello ladies of the ENC!
Fall in Florida.
Ok, so not the pretty changing of the leaves Fall…
More like the sweltering heat and dodging the hurricanes Fall!
As you know, the ENC schedule kicks into gear, and we have lots of fun things going on!
Nominations for the 2027 ENC Executive Board, which includes the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary positions, will officially open on September 16th. Nominations will stay open until the day prior to the October luncheon (October 19th). Please consider serving on the Board! It is rewarding, and your club needs you!
Aside from our regular monthly events, mark your calendars for the Seminole Casino Outing scheduled for September 30th.
Also, please mark your calendars for these important “Save the Date” activities coming up:
October 20th - Our Annual Style Show presented by Casual Connections will be held during our monthly luncheon.

We will resume our normal luncheons and will be heading to Grandezza for our September Luncheon and Business Meeting on Tuesday, September 15th. We will continue to support Community Cooperative through the proceeds from our third quarter luncheon raffles. We are excited to have Janelle Olson from Community Cooperative on hand to talk about all of the great things they do for those in need in our community. We are also excited to have Lauren Hope, Meteorologist, Gulf Coast News, coming to talk about what we can expect for
hurricane season in Southwest Florida.
I know I don’t say it enough, but thank you to all of our wonderful Board Members and Coordinators who work so hard to keep our Club vibrant and enjoyable! I could not be more appreciative and proud of all of you ladies!
Remember, take time to breathe. Be kind - to yourself and others. Have a great month!
