1 Chartered in 1987 October 2015 Message from the President October begins a new era for our EWI Chapter. We will install our new Board Members and their year officially begins. As the Fall changes our trees and landscape, so will this new board of incredibly awesome ladies will do so for our Chapter. The retreat will bring about wonderful ideas and team building. I look forward to seeing what plans of action will come into place. The Barnyard auction was another spectacular affair! We really appreciate all the generosity of donations and volunteer help. The total raised after expenses comes to an estimated $9, Kate West and her crew did a phenomenal job this year and I was honored to have them on my board. LCAM this year in Tulsa brought about some wonderful ideas to grow membership and it renewed our energy for next year s board. As I end my last Presidential message, I would like to say thank you for blessing me with all of your knowledge and support. EWI of Chattanooga is truly an organization that is premier and top notch, but most importantly, a network of people that care and love one another. Tammy Hargis MCA Pecan & Candy Sales have started!
