WCHS graduate, Hailey Brim and her mother, Jenny, were present at the June monthly meeting for Hailey to receive her scholarship from the WC Women's Club. A very poised young lady, Hailey, will be attending ISU this fall majoring in interior design. She shared what her major entailed with her goal to help women transfer their "houses to homes" by bringing out their personalities in the design of the home.

The June program, written by Loween Getter, but presented by Carol Zills and Donna Bristow was titled Happy Birthday, U.S.A.! After the slideshow presentation, women were given a 10 question quiz highlighting the program. After some giggling, chewing on their pencils, and working with a partner, the presenters announced all ladies had passed! Jenny Brim then shared the story of how Hailey learned all the presidents' name in order while waiting for the bus to take her to school each day. Hailey met the challenge by singing her way through each president's name! All were very impressed!

Greeter for the afternoon was Marilyn Williams. The refreshments were hosted by Billie Smid, Donna Jansen, Marilyn Grubbe, and Eloise Stearns. The next meeting will by July 13 where we will be touring the new Career Ag Academy building.

Loween Getter, longtime member of the WC Women's Club, was this month's program presenter. After a brief introduction of her involvement in theater from acting to directing for 41 years, she then explained what "Over the Speed Limit Players" was with a few 'over speed limit' stories of her own! Over the Speed Limit Players is really about those over 55 years of age reading and interpreting on the fly, or not, a dramatic story without props, costumes, or staging. These five women rose to the occasion, without any rehearsal, to interpret, focus on their facial expressions, and voices to bring to life a story of four kids preparing a Mother's Day breakfast for their mom. Not only perfect for the month of May, it was very entertaining as many of us could identify with the messy kitchen, gathering a bouquet of flowers from Mom's garden, and composing a card with broken crayons-from Mom's special stationary! The four kids included An'Nyce Hoff, Darlene Dingman, Donna Foster, JoAnn Robb, along with the exhausted Mom, Kay Klaver!

The delicious refreshment's were served by JoAnn Robb, Jana Reints, and Jean Biggins with greeter for the meeting, Jan Reinhardt.
