SPN - Single Professionals Network

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Along with SPN's many activities other than happy hours every Wednesday and Friday, we have developed quite an impressive group of gals and guys for our monthly walk, and we have had fun exploring many parks and trails over the last few years. Our walk in February on part of the Salado Creek Trailway was especially noteworthy since it was the coldest day of the year. Given the option to reschedule, Duane, Nancy, Daryl, Starr, Hal, Judy, Martha, Marilyn, Luis, Barbara, and I opted to bundle up and tough it out for a 3.4-mile walk. It was a lovely day at 29 degrees, and there wasn’t another crazy soul on the trail! Cups of tasty hot chocolate afterwards at Jim’s Restaurant with the Irish Cream Daryl snuck in really hit the spot! Always ready for the next big adventure.

It's time again for our Anniversary Party, and we will be celebrating our 37th year since SPN was founded in 1988. The celebration will have a Fiesta theme with a Mexican buffet dinner, entertainment and dancing by Paul Davis, and the installation of the new 2025-26 Board of Directors. This historic event provides an opportunity to visit with old friends, make new friends, and celebrate SPN’s success.

Sue Logan,
SPN President

Many of us find ourselves alone after many years of marriage and raising children. This can happen suddenly and can be very overwhelming. I quickly realized that I was responsible for my happiness and well-being. No one was going to feel sorry for me, and that was the reality of my situation. I was aware of some church singles groups; and with a lady friend, I decided to try one out. Instead, what we walked into was an SPN birthday party. There we were in all of our glory, not knowing a sole, not really even knowing what SPN was. Immediately, we were welcomed to the party, introduced to others, and invited to have some cake. This was roughly twelve years ago, and I have been an active member of this wonderful group ever since. This is a family of friends, a place where you can walk in alone and feel right at home. I have an opportunity to participate in the many activities provided to this group by our Board Members. Yes, SPN has been a blessing for me. I have made many, really good friends. We are active seniors that find strength in knowing others in SPN and having someone to do fun activities with.
