Women’s Club: February 2021

CHANGE! Some people thrive on change and some people cringe at the thought. We’ve all been faced with many changes throughout the past year, and we’ve become very resilient adapting to the changes facing our families, our activities, and our health during the current pandemic crisis. We thank each member of the Women’s Club for understanding the changing circumstances of our meeting dates and gathering places. Please watch your email for announcements.
In 2021 we will continue to evolve as changes are sure to happen. From the courses I took in grad school on visionary leadership in school change, I learned that the main behavior of change was and is always a shared vision of a better tomorrow. This applies to our Women’s Club but also to our community as a whole where I fore- see opportunities to progress in our amenities’ improve- ment, neighborhood communication, welcome support for new neighbors, and respect for community law and order.
We are truly blessed to live in Niguel Shores in a protected environment of well-maintained neighborhoods faced by the ocean with daily views of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We are a community full of life, with resi- dents of all ages and backgrounds—and thankfulness to be here. Let us face the future with a vision of togeth- erness, support, and respect as we charge into 2021! Brandon Gaille, survivor of brain cancer and a self-made SEO millionaire, said, “I have experienced many small miracles already. More are destined to come. I may not always know where things are headed, but regardless, I am grateful for today.”
Conditions permitting, our next Women’s Club meet- ing will be held on February 11 at Noon on the Club- house Patio. We
will be sharing Valentine’s Day verbal greetings but without the traditional hand- held valentines. Please bring your own chair, lunch and beverage, sit- ting according to
COVID-19 guidelines. Our speaker will be Roy Dohner who is on the City of Dana Point Planning Commission and a Niguel Shores neighbor. The Planning Commission is a decision-making body tasked at reviewing matters related to planning and development in our City. Roy’s presentation will discuss his experiences as a 20-year volunteer in Niguel Shores, the role of Dana Point’s Planning Commission, the status of the major projects in Dana Point, and the City Council’s pilot program on Short Term Rentals, followed by questions. We look forward to hearing about the projects our city has in the works as well as plans for the near future.
We have no Outside Activity in February, but hope to resume monthly outings as health precautions improve. We would love you to join us for one of our monthly meetings!

Women’s Club.
