PROGRAM - Scholarship Committee, "Recipient Grants"
Presidents' Letter:
The February meeting was called to order by Diana Sawin,
Co-President. The minutes were accepted as printed. A special
thanks to Sydney Allison, our Corresponding Secretary, about
special events and happenings and news about our members. We
wish a speedy recovery to Jeanne Gelwicks, who broke her leg.
She's doing well and is up and using a walker. Also, a speedy
recovery to Mary Ellen Taylor, who had surgery, again, in March.
She hopes to be well enough to go to the Convention in Costa
Mesa at the end of April.
Bobbie Mortensen sent the items to Mary Ellen for the LIFE
FOUNDATION silent auction at the Convention. We donated a
beautiful wall hanging and silk knitted scarf by Sydney Allison
and a silk scarf and hat and a felted bag by Karen Mortensen,
Bobbie's daughter. Diana and Bobbie will attend the Chi State
Convention April 29-May 1 in Costa Mesa. We hope other Zeta Zeta
members will be able to attend. The conventions are a lot of
fun. Our guest speaker for the February meeting was Dr.
Christine Batten, Cardiologist. She encouraged women to be aware
of and to take charge of their own health. She spoke about the
services offered at the Women's Health Center in Walnut Creek.
We were given a "women's and heart" questionnaire
survey, and this was followed up by a letter to each member
containing the results plus a phone call. Dr. Batten was a
wonderful speaker and gave us some great information.
Our program for April 25 will be given by the Scholarship
Committee. The recipient grants will be awarded in September.
See you soon.
Diana Sawin and Bobbie Mortensen
