4th of July Reflection
What a strange 4th of July this was for me as I sat on a Hawaiian Airlines flight to Maui. I missed the entourage of patriotic events happening throughout the day in Niguel Shores, but my granddaughters, Makayla and Madison, thoroughly enjoyed the pancake breakfast, golf cart parade, gourmet hotdog lunch, beach, barbecue, and fireworks. You were all in my thoughts that week as I swam in the warm Pacific waters of Hawaii with the delightful sea turtles and tropical fish.
Many Thanks
Thank you to Catherine Bitran for chairing the traditional Niguel Shores Women’s Club July 4th Hot Dog Lunch. Cheers for the planning, prep work, and great team- work grilling and passing out the dogs. This event is a perfect example of how members in our club contribute their time and energy to a meeting or special event during the year.
