SPN - Single Professionals Network

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

The table where Sue and Martha sat was a frenzy of activity with everyone selecting their well-thought-out pick to win the Kentucky Derby. Five lucky members selected Sovereignty to Win, while 9 selected Journalism to Place, and 2 picked Baeza to Show. These folks obviously know their horses! All this excitement was followed by our annual Derby Hat Contest. Ten stylish men paraded their hats with a gentlemanly swagger while 23 lovely ladies paraded along the walkway showing off their stylish hats. Steve won a prize for his “stick a fork in it” hat; and Karen won a prize for her “well lit” smartly decorated Derby hat. The afternoon of delicious food, great company, horse racing, and hat contest was topped off with some yard games and a few rounds of “Left, Center, Right”. Congrats to LCR winners Adrianne and Daryl. We all had a wonderful time at Grace’s beautiful home. Thank you, Grace!

Thanks to Lynda for hosting our weenie roast at her cozy hill country homestead. The weather forecasters predicted great weather, but what do they know? A little rain didn’t dampen our spirits, though. We quickly covered the food, dashed inside and continued to eat and party. Joe did a great job grilling those dogs to perfection! Thanks, Lynda & Joe!

We have many more events planned for the summer, so stay tuned!

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.
