The President's Message

Good Day, Friends,

In March we shall all spring forward as Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2:00 am.

New Friends of Carolina members may also spring into a wide variety of March activities. On March 4th, BHG is enticing you to join the Annual Souper Luncheon where members share "homemade" soups and their recipes. NFC volunteers will staff Run Gen Run spots to distribute race packets to participants. Twenty members will travel to Salisbury to view an extraordinary art exhibit, enjoy lunch and hop on a trolley for an historic tour. The newest interest group, Helping Hands, will hold its first session on March 31, in order to prepare books for distribution to disadvantaged children. Plus, members can jump into any number of March activities NFC interest group chairs have thoughtfully planned on sign-up day, February 26, starting at 9:00 am.

You will not want to miss the March Barvarian Buffet Membership Luncheon at Olde Mecklenberg Brewery's Overlook Room at its location in the Ballantyne Bowl. The proceedings for the membership meeting will include the announcement of the proposed slate of officers to serve in 2025-2026. Speaker and Beekeeper Marc Jacobs will share some fun facts about his life with these essential insects.

Spring into action and join in the March fun.

Debbie Williams, President
