President's Message

Something special

We welcomed many new members the last few months. It is fun to see long-time members engaging our new friends and creating a feeling of belonging to something special, the Sunriver Women’s Club.

We come together to connect with each other and at the same time, we give back to our South Deschutes community.

In this week’s newsletter, you will read about some of our fundraising efforts. I am so proud of how our organization balances social opportunities with each other and at the same time reaches outside ourselves to help the greater community.

The Philanthropy team is currently evaluating grants to share the fruits of our fundraising efforts with those in need.

Check out the calendar and come connect at any activity. Hope to see you soon!
