It’s time to approach fall with renewed energy. And we are going to need it, with all the activities planned for the upcoming months! First on the calendar is the Town of Trophy Club Pet Fest to be held Saturday, September 20th. This annual event, held at Freedom Park, is a great way to meet new potential members, all while petting a variety of furry friends. If you would like to volunteer for a few hours that Saturday morning passing out homemade doggie treats, contact Kathy Carlton. Next up will be the annual Garden Tour. Typically a springtime event, it was moved to the fall last year and was highly successful, so the Trophy Gardeners are doing it at the same time again this year. They are busy with plans for another great tour, highlighting the unique backyards of homes in Trophy Club. Mark your calendar for the afternoon of Sunday, October 5 for this wonderful event. Right after that is finished, it will be time to clean out your closets and garage to see if you need to have a Garage Sale. If so, you are in luck, as the TCWC fall Garage Sale will be Saturday, October 18. Chair Tanya Bills is busy advertising in every local media outlet to ensure a good crowd for the day. You may purchase the required permit to participate in the sale at Tom Thumb or Sassy Flamingo in the 3 weeks prior to the sale. Also in October, our nominations committee will be meeting, led by Chair Jeannette Tiffany. Maybe you are a little new to the group but would like to get more involved, or maybe you’ve been around for awhile and your schedule has eased up enough to allow you more time to volunteer. Or, you just want to see the Women’s Club moving forward in a strong direction. Whatever the case, we need you on the TCWC Board of Directors. This is the time when we recruit members for the next year. If you are interested in serving, or would like to nominate someone else, please download the form from the TCWC Citywide Garage Note: Volunteers are needed for map sales on the morning of the Garage Sale. Contact Tanya Bills to sign up and for other opportunities to help. The 2014 Fall city wide garage sale is scheduled for Saturday, October 18 from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Residents who would like to participate can purchase permits at the Tom Thumb Customer Service Counter or Sassy Flamingo starting September 18. Permits must be purchased by 3:00 pm Thursday, October 16 in order to be listed on the published locater map. Locater maps will be sold for $1 at the main Trophy Club entrances. Volunteers are needed for map sales. Please contact Tanya Bills at [email protected] or 682-502-4594 ext 3 for volunteer opportunities or additional information. website or contact Jeannette Tiffany.

If you haven’t already, please mark your calendar for Sunday, December 7th. The committee loved last year’s theme and voted for it to remain, “The Magic of Christmas – 2014”.

We need two additional festive homes for the tour. You do not have to prepare your home alone! Some of our members will be happy to assist, if you wish. Please consider your home or ask a friend. Women’s Club members are reeters throughout each home. Your home will be decorated by early December so you can relax and enjoy the season!
