SPN - Single Professionals Network

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Once again the SPN Super Bowl Party was a huge success with 33 members, two guests, and one new applicant attending. It was an exciting game based on all the racket coming from Julie’s home. Alice and Diana did an outstanding job managing the football pool. Several lucky attendees picked a winning spot in the football pool: Reggie (again!), Gary, and our new applicant Pat who took home both the first and fourth quarter winnings! Way to go Pat! Many thanks to Julie for hosting us in her home.

Who says you have to have a sweetheart to enjoy Valentine’s Day dinner out with the group? Eighteen SPNer’s had a delightfully delicious dinner and evening at Perry’s Steakhouse on Valentine’s Eve. Then we celebrated again on Valentine’s Day at Kennedys. All we need is just good ole friends.

Can you believe it is almost time to change our clocks back to Daylight Saving Time? Make sure you set your clocks to spring forward one hour on Sunday, March 9th.

Later in the month we have two new day-time events. First, an outing to Castroville and then a day at the new PopStroke Golf entertainment facility (one might say this is miniature golf on steroids!). Sounds like fun and worth a shot!

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.
