Joanne Burger introduced Alissa Bridges, Counselor at Battlefield High School. Alissa introduced this year's scholars: Chineen Shahab and Valentina Rincon.
The young ladies thanked the RWC for the opportunity we have given them to pursue their studies.

Thanks to your continued and generous support of the Dodi Myers Scholarship raffle, we are able to continue this tradition.

May 3, 2018 Luncheon
A beautiful sunny May day set the tone for our last luncheon of the season. It was a fun and relaxed time as we enjoyed lunch and an insightful presentation by our guest speaker, Tana Suter. Tana lives in the Regency Reserve and comes to us with 40 years of experience in Human Resources.
Her talk was "Resilience Reloaded: The Prerequisite to Aging Successfully (if not gracefully)."
She spoke with us about resilience as we age and how to handle life's challenges. The concept of Post Traumatic Growth was particularly eye-opening. She regaled us with an hilarious story about her first encounter with a too-tight body shaper!
It brought home the importance of keeping a sense of humor and an optimistic outlook.
Sandi McNickle gave us the thought for the day that left us laughing.
We elected our new officers for the RWC 2018-2019 season.
Congratulations to our newly elected officers
