is the original invitation to the women of Swiss Avenue
to join the newly formed Swiss Avenue Women's Guild: |
Dear
Swiss Avenue Neighbor:
You are cordially invited to be a founding member
of the Swiss Avenue WomenÍs Guild. For several years
the idea of a WomenÍs Guild has been considered
but the timing did not appear to be right. Now its
time has come. In October we held a planning meeting
to see if there was enough support for this idea.
The meeting was attended by 32 women. Their enthusiasm
for the Guild was heartwarming. Seven board members
and six chairmen were voted in, this yearÍs calendar
was discussed, yearly dues of $35 were approved,
and the Magnolia was recognized as the Guild's symbol.
As you can see, we have an exciting year of social
events planned. This Guild is not intended to take
the place of or compete with the Swiss Avenue Historic
District Association. There is room for both and
we strongly encourage our members to continue to
be involved with the District as it addresses issues
important to us all. Our hope is that the Guild
will build friendship and cohesiveness throughout
the eight long blocks of our avenue. We plan to
warmly welcome new neighbors through our Membership
Committee, help the East Dallas charities that border
our avenue through our Service Committee, raise
the visibility of our beautiful neighborhood through
our Promotion Committee AND most of all enjoy the
company and friendship of the women who live on
Swiss Avenue through our monthly social events.
We fully understand and respect that each of us
lead full and busy lives. Some Guild members will
only have the time to attend our social events while
others will wish to get more involved. There are
no expectations for our members. So please come
and join us, have fun, meet new friends and enrich
your life. |
