Thought of the Week

If you suck at playing the trumpet that's probably why. - Unknown

Kathy’s House – A Request for Paper Goods and Household Cleaning Supplies

Several weeks ago our Club welcomed a guest speaker from Kathy’s House. Kathy’s House is a non-profit Guest House providing lodging and a supportive environment to families who are experiencing one of life’s most stressful situations-personal illness or the serious illness of a loved one. It was founded by a Mequon family.

Our Club has a long history of supporting Kathy’s House and our Community Service Committee is interested in providing support once again. We know that Kathy’s House relies on donations to support its daily operations.

Throughout the month on May we will be collecting paper items (e.g. paper towels, toilet tissue, napkins) and cleaning supplies (e.g. household spray cleaners and wipes, laundry detergent). Items can be donated on Friday mornings or delivered to NewCastle at any time. Julie Irvine (our newest member!) has graciously offered to store the items at NewCastle. They will be delivered to Kathy’s House in early June.

The Community Service Committee is entertaining the idea of hosting a cookout at Kathy’s House this summer for their guests.

Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.

May 2019 Pukaite Woods Tree Planting

Thanks to more than 40 volunteers including 30 Homestead High School football players, 85 trees were planted and mulched, debris from the dismantled observation platform was hauled away and two areas containing sapling trees and native wildflowers were fenced to protect from over-grazing by deer.
