Hello everyone!
Despite the warm temperatures, we will soon say goodbye to summer and welcome in the fall and winter seasons. Many of us have tried to make up for the Covid years and have been travelling and making up for lost time. Carol and I have hosted several family members who came to visit to beat the heat in Houston and Louisiana, and it was such a nice time having our family visit.
We have been fortunate that our activity groups have been able to meet, and our Happy Hours have been so well attended. The summer Happy Hours’ average attendance was in the mid-thirties, with many of our new members joining us and getting to know the ENN family.
It has been a great summer, especially with our Casino night party, where I discovered just how many ENN members like to gamble!
As 2023 winds down, your ENN Board continues to work diligently to make sure we continue to fulfill our motto of “Fun and Friendships.” The Kickoff Koffee should be a great time to get together, peruse the myriad of activities ENN offers, and have some time to talk with our old friends and our new ones. Frank McVeigh, our Activity Chair, will be sending out announcements about the Kickoff Koffee, so keep an eye out for more about this event.
Also, Laura Santana, our Programs and Socials Chair, is working hard to secure the venue and making arrangements for our Winter Party. This is always such a highlight of our year; getting together in a little more formal setting to talk, eat, drink, and just have fun. For those who have attended our Winter Party, you know it is always a fun time, and for our new members, be sure to watch for more information from Laura about this incredible party!
It has been just 3 months since the new Board took over, but already everyone has demonstrated their desire to help ENN and the membership to enjoy all we have to offer. I am so appreciative of the hard work and passion that each Board member has demonstrated, and I look forward to working with them to ensure ENN continues to bring people together.
Thank you all,
Riley Hanback
President
