Next Meeting Information
Our next meeting is Tuesday, November 12th at 9:30 am, at La Hacienda Rec Center (Ricardo Montalban Room). Make sure to reach out to any new Ladies in our neighborhood and bring them along with you! After the business meeting, Nina Scerbo will guide us on how to decorate holiday cupcakes! You will decorate your own and bring them home. Nina is providing cupcakes (home baked) and frosting (home made), and has ordered the decorating tools and boxes which your club is providing for you to decorate with, and also take home.
President's WELCOME
We hope that you will join us at our upcoming activities. Before the end of the year we are hosting 2 more activities open to all of our SouthWest neighbors (see Nov 10th and Dec 8th below), and hope that everyone will join us!
Our group, the Hacienda South West Women’s Club, is the venue where women can gather to have fun and share ideas with other women. We are approaching the end of the year, and as such my tenure as President of the Club will end. It has been an honor to serve.
This month we will vote on a new slate of officers for the upcoming year:
Barbara DiLaura President
Barbara Hatch Vice-President
Lori Camp Secretary
Becky Montgomery Treasurer
It is a very good slate that will ensure we have activities which will be enjoyed by all the members.
We hope to see you this month and hope you continue to support the Club.

Ladies Golf:
Club members meet every Friday year round for a fun morning of golf and breakfast. It’s a non-competitive group with both experienced and beginners. If interested please contact Barb DiLaura, at 954-263-8080, bdilaura@bellshouth.net . The group needs people to volunteer to provide concierge services. For the months that are open and have no concierge, golf is canceled. The following is the schedule of members providing concierge services:
November – Evelyn Krawczyk / Jane Musch
December – Joan Beeman
As we are realigning activities to be supported by the two groups in the neighborhood, the Board felt it best for the golf activity to be taken up by the neighborhood social group. The social neighborhood group has agreed to take over the weekly golf. Therefore as of 2025, the Hacienda South West Social group will begin to administer Friday golf for women, and golf will be open to all lady residents of Hacienda SouthWest neighborhoods.
Membership:
The annual membership $10 dues for our 2025 season will be collected from November onward. New club members will be free for the remainder of the year and can pay for 2025 starting in November.
