Making New Friends

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy seeing
and visiting my friends across our great state.
Moreover, I love the opportunities TFRW gives me
to make new friends that I would never have met
without this organization! I look forward to our
quarterly board meetings for many reasons, but
first among them are the fabulous women I meet.
You are all amazing!

At the July Board Meeting, our special event was a
Sunset Dinner Cruise and Bat Tour. Once again, I am
overwhelmed by the wonderful feedback and kind
comments I have received. That cruise was so much FUN! The lower deck was air conditioned and the open, upper
deck had a fan and mister so even though it was hot outside, you didn’t get overheated. My new friend,
Heather Stoner, and I, spent most of our time on the open air deck enjoying the view and chatting as if we’d known
each other for years. Fun Fact: there were 1.5 million bats in that single colony, and they contribute more than
12 million dollars a year to the Austin economy.

Just prior to sailing, Patron Co-Chairs Debra Coffey and
Amanda Martin knocked it out of the park with a surprise visit from
Karl Rove for the Patron reception! The looks of surprise and delight
as the Patrons entered were priceless. If you enjoyed the Cruise, I
encourage you to take a moment to write a quick review on Google,
Yelp, or Trip Advisor. The folks at Capital Cruises were amazing to
work with and really went out of their way to accommodate our
every need.
Plan now to attend the October Board of Directors meetings on
October 12th and 13th. The “special event” will be ongoing that
weekend. Think of your favorite 1970’s game shows, and get ready to
Get Your Game On! Anyone registered for the meetings can play, and
there will be lots of prizes to WIN!

As always, I love receiving your feedback.
Please send your comments and suggestions

to [email protected]. It is an honor and
privilege to serve you.
