As we welcome October, I find myself reflecting on how quickly our year is coming to an end. It has been wonderful to see our members come together, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and embrace the spirit of friendship, service, and philanthropy that makes our club so special.

Now that Dollarmania is officially over, we can all take a giant bow! What an incredible event and a wonderful example of what we can accomplish when we come together.

A very special thank-you goes to Liz Avila, Cinde Lee, Susan Swayze, and the entire Dollarmania Committee for all of the time, energy, creativity, and hard work they put into making this event such a success. So much happens behind the scenes that isn’t always seen, and their dedication truly deserves to be celebrated. Please join me in giving them a huge round of applause and a heartfelt thank you for a job incredibly well done!

And finally, we have reached an incredible milestone—we officially have 103 members! This is the largest membership in the history of our club, and it is something we should all be incredibly proud of.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed new members and helped make our club a place where women want to be involved and be a part of something special.

Dana Burding, 2026 President
