Program - Hat Night with Bobbie Mitchell

Our progam will be done by Denton County Commission Bobbie Mitchell.  Bobbie is currently the Denton County Commissioner and former mayor of Lewisville.  Bobbie will share the story of her humble childhood and moving into the arena of public life.  Bobbie is very witty and charming with an inspirational message.  So wear your favorite hat and come join us - you won't want to miss this evening!

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 9th at Salerno's Restaurant at 3407 Long Prairie Road, Flower Mound.  The cost of the meeting is $10 if you RSVP, which includes dinner, payable by cash or check to "WOFM".  The cost at the door without an RSVP is $12. 

Door prizes for guests and new members will be given away during the meeting.  We also sell raffle tickets at the meeting to benefit a different local school each month.  Raffle tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5, so you may want to bring some spare change.

If you know you are coming, you can make a reservation for yourself and your guests on the website, anytime at:  Meeting RSVP.  Reservations by phone should be called in by noon the day BEFORE the meeting to Marilynn Payne at 972-969-3866.  Your reservation helps us to better plan the meeting, and it saves you $2!  Please remember:  if you make a reservation, you will need to pay $10 for the meeting, even if you are unable to attend.  If something comes up, you can cancel your reservation up until noon the day of the meeting.

Parker Square Fall Festival - October 27, 2007

The Festival at Parker Square this year will benefit graduating High School Seniors through contributions to the Women of Flower Mound.  All funds raised at the festival will be earmarked for Scholarships to be issued in May 2008. 

We need WOFM volunteers to help us raise money for scholarships.  It's alot of fun and you get to play while you work. 

The Festival is from 10am till 2pm.  All volunteers will be asked to wear their WOFM shirt (or a denim shirt) and their club nametag.  This will help our club be recognized within the public during the festival to answer questions about our organization.

Please sign-up today by e-mailing me at volunteer@womenofflowermound.org.  We can't help make the festival a success without YOUR help.  Thanks for all you do.


2006-07 Women of Flower Mound Directory

We are planning on having our 2006-07 Directory ready by the December meeting.  To insure your name and advertisement is listed, please submit a completed membership form and business ad card by no later than the October Meeting.  We can scan your business cards as we did last year.  However, if you provide the electronic art, (available from your business card supplier), in JPEG format, 300 DPI, the quality of your add will be significantly improved.  The membership form can be found on our website.

We will also have a limited number of full page ad spaces available.  This will be offered to our membership first, then will be made available to businesses outside of our membership.

If you are interested in advertising in this year's directory, please let us know at membership@womenofflowermound.org.  With your support this year's directory can be a great tool in our community.
