Join the Women’s Club
Hello all ladies of Niguel Shores! We invite you to join the Women’s Club for a year of meeting new friends, lunching together, hearing entertaining speakers, and enjoying special events. We are a gregarious group supporting friendship, fun, and service to the community. Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month in the Clubhouse or at the Bluff during sunny weather. For membership inquiries please contact Judi Palladino twopalls@yahoo.com or Jennifer Paige jopaige@aol.com.
Patience—Patience was certainly the key to keeping a posi- tive outlook during these past months as we have been swing- ing between staying close to home or having our community open up again with masks and social distancing. Our beach offered a saving grace with wonderful walks along the strand and the gorgeous sunsets! Our summer Outside Activities provided a chance to walk the Ritz Carlton/Salt Creek Path and to tour Sherman Gardens. God only know when our life will be normal again, but I have noticed some very creative local ways of coping with the current COVID challenges and restrictions. For example, the outside dining experiences developed by local restaurants are delightful ways of breath- ing fresh air and enjoying delicious entrees. It reminds me of the patio restaurants in Italy and France with their colorful umbrellas! As I walked down Avenida Del Mar in San Clem- ente the other day, every restaurant was serving outside along the sidewalk, giving a very European flair.
September Meeting—Our September meeting will be on the Bluff with shaded umbrella tables. Please join us Sep- tember 10 at Noon. We will be passing out the new Wom- en’s Club Directory to all members. As we did in June, this meeting will be BYOLBC (bring your own lunch, beverage
and chair). Our speaker is Laurent Vrignaud, owner of Moulin Restaurant on PCH across from Niguel Shores. This is Vrignaud’s latest restaurant in Orange County delighting guests with authentic French foods and culture. Having brunch outside under Moulin’s red umbrellas is a pure joy! There will be no charge for this meeting but, if you haven’t paid your yearly dues yet, that would be most appreciated. Sign-up Sheets for our committees will also be available for those of you who have not decided how you would like to participate in this year.
Email Invitation—Watch for an email invitation on Sep- tember 3 with more information about our luncheon meet- ing at the Bluff this month. Please invite a neighbor who may be interested in joining the Women’s Club. We look forward to seeing everyone again for laughter, chats, and good times! I know I am really looking forward to work- ing with Sharon Stewart, Co-President for the Wom- en’s Club. We’ll make a good team sharing the monthly leadership roles throughout the year! Take care now, stay healthy, and keep smiling.
