SPN - Single Professionals Network

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

SPN celebrated America’s 250th anniversary in festive style at Grace’s home, which was beautifully decked out in red, white, and blue for our annual July Fourth Party. While much of the country was sweltering in extreme heat, San Antonio was far more fortunate. Grace took us back to our childhood days with a piñata filled with all kinds of fun surprises—including a few tiny bottles of “grown up” beverages. We quickly abandoned the blindfolds and spinning around while Hal expertly handled the job of yanking the piñata out of striking distance at just the right moment.

Starr, Sherrie, and Susanne (again!) were the lucky winners of “Left, Center, Right,” while Judy, Martha, Hal, and I tried our luck at Corn Hole. It was a lively, laughter-filled afternoon. Thank you, Grace, for hosting such a memorable celebration.

If you’ve been thinking about joining our walking group but worry about heat, cold, or distance, consider trying our walk at North Star Mall. It’s an ideal spot to stay cool, take a break whenever you need one, and then catch up with the group as we loop back around.

Summer is flying by, and plans are already underway for our Labor Day party on September 7th.

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.
