Our President’s Message
I hope the luck of the
Irish was with you at our
fabulous Sassy Lassie
fashion Show in
March! What a treat,
with lovely decorations,
the tasty special menu,
our members decked out
in greens and of course
our talented models
showing wonderful
spring fashions from
Bealls of Crystal River. Emcee Susan
Strasser had wonderful
tips and suggestions to
spiff our wardrobes.
Many thanks to Annette
Hollister, Chairman,
and the absolutely
fabulous committee
members for their efforts to create a festive mood, and the 27
outstanding baskets
for our ticket raffle! It
was a great success in
every way and raised
$2,600.00 for our
scholarship and charity fund.
Our Mah Jongg Marathon was great fun also,
with a sellout crowd,
lovely prizes and a
great luncheon. While
not an official fundraiser, the official
fundraiser, the proceeds offered $350.00
to add to our donation fund.
The final Ways and
Means events for the
year are the Military
Card Party on April
16 and the Spring
Golf Scramble on
April 17. Our thanks
go to our Co 2nd VPs
Andrea Strogney
and Ileen Zavoda for
all their enthusiasm,
efforts and direction to
make all the year’s
events so successful!
Our April luncheon
will feature the annual election of Officers for next year.
Please plan to be there
to vote for your new
leaders. Upon their
election, the officers
will be looking for

Sailing Around the World - a Twelve-Year Adventure!
Come to the April CHWC Luncheon and listen to Julie
Kranker, a CHWC member, speak about the incredible
journey she and her husband, Peter, experienced over
a 12 year period.
Julie and Peter embarked on this amazing adventure
beginning in 2002 in a 52-foot Cutter sailboat. Along
the way, they had narrow escapes with Pirates in the
Red Seas, mingled with wild Komodo Dragons in Malaysia, ran with the bulls in Spain, and were present in Thailand at the time of the
2004 Tsunami.
This is just a small sample of their
many experiences throughout the
12-year odyssey.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to
hear about the Adventure of a Lifetime!
During the month of February, "Get Well Cards" or Thinking of You
Cards" were sent to the following: Eileen Amburg, Carol Cadovich, Diane Donahue, Barbara Fosse, Marcia Porterfield and Joyce Simek. A
sympathy card was sent to Bon Amburg (Eileen’s husband).
A memorial contribution was made to Hospice of Citrus County in
memory of Eileen Amburg.
If you know of anyone who needs some "Sunshine", please contact
Suzanne Luzier at 746-9190 or [email protected] or
Contact Nicki Puccio at 270-8797 or [email protected].

Trips and Events for 2015-2016
Over the past two years we have had some wonderful trips and events. We’ve seen plays, visited
horse farms, taken boat trips, gone to the races,
enjoyed the ice sculptures at the Gaylord Palms
and managed to do a little bit of shopping along
the way. This year the Singing Trees and Chihuly
trips were so popular we took two busses of members and guests. Now it is time to begin thinking
of places you would like to go next year. If you have a
suggestion for a place to visit next year, please email or call Marcia Porterfield at [email protected] or 352-513-5626 Also, if you
enjoy these trips consider volunteering to be an event planner for one of
them next year. It is a great opportunity to meet people and assist with
one of our club’s popular social functions. As you complete your membership form for next year just check the trips and events line to indicate
you are willing to help plan one of the events for the coming year.
