The Villages - August 2021 - 5

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CLUB'S
SOCIAL EVENTS.
Some of our fun events include the Nurses Recognition Ceremony
and luncheon during National Nurses Week in May. We also
do a holiday potluck luncheon in December as well as golf and
facilities tours.
HOW DOES YOUR CLUB CONNECT
WITH THE COMMUNITY?
We connect and give back by awarding scholarships for nursing
students, supporting Christmas Wish List for patients at a local
behavioral center and we also support Villages projects, such as
purchasing a park bench.
HOW MANY MEMBERS?
We have 376 members. Membership is open to RNs and LPNs
with active or inactive licensure and an up-to-date Villages
identification card.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A TYPICAL
CLUB MEETING?
General meetings of the TVNC are held the second Tuesday of
each month at the Savannah Center, unless otherwise published.
There is a summer break during June, July and August.
Meeting time is noon until 2:00. Doors open at 11:30. This
time is planned for socializing, business meetings and speaker
time. The speakers at our monthly meetings and the variously
scheduled local tours are our most interesting events. We have
dedicated committees that schedule local professionals to speak
about updated medical topics and interesting monthly visits or
tours to area organizations and facilities.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST
GROUP ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Our greatest accomplishment as a club is our yearly scholarship
award, given to a nursing student at one of our local colleges.
This is awarded after a review of applications and based on
dedicated criterion, to ensure an unbiased selection. The recipient
is honored at our May nurse's luncheon. A recent addition has
been a second scholarship, funded by the Weinheimer Family, to
proudly honor their mother Barbara, a lifelong dedicated nurse,
and a past member of the Nurses Club. This helps us to support
and encourage new members of our profession.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR THE FUTURE?
Our hopes for the future are to continue to grow in knowledge,
stay aware of the changes and trends in our profession, and meet
monthly in a spirit of friendship.
