Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day on the 14th. We’ll be having our monthly event on Tuesday, the 13th for a lovely luncheon at Front Street Tavern in uptown Kingston with “Self Love Affirmations” so be prepared to write a love note to yourself to know and remind yourself that you are both loved and loving. Sometimes we need to expand our view of how many ways we are cared about by others and discard the only definition of love as being partnered with that one special person. Life has chapters. Many of us are single by choice, divorce, separation, or our special dear one is in spirit realm or has so we must nurture ourselves and create friendships to offer companionship and conversations that allow us the connection we all need in life. UCWN is a Women’s Network to build friendships to share ups and downs and enjoy doing things together.
Keegan Ales is having their annual Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras celebration on Tuesday, Feb. 13th before their weekly Trivia Night. Many of us will enjoy the festivities at 5:00 p.m. or right after our lunch to just have some fun. It is not an official UCWN event but let’s get together for a “double the delight” with our lunch from noon to 2:00 p.m. and then drinks and merriment at Keegan Ales, a sponsor of UCWN.
We didn’t have a January program this year with the uncertainty of weather conditions and taking a breath after holiday season. We have great programing upcoming for the next several months with book readings by members and talks/listening to our needs with two Ulster County legislators, Manna Jo Greene and Gina Hansut.
Remember that dues can be paid by check or cash at the upcoming Feb 13th lunch (or can be renewed online). Thank you for being the heart and soul of UCWN serving yourself and our members with your vibrant energy and input into programming themes as well as creating and deepening friendships made through coming to events.
