Hello Ladies, please be sure to read this email in its entirety.
October STGC Meeting
Attached is the agenda for the October 13, 2026, meeting. Doors will open at 9:30 a.m., and the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m.
The program will feature presentations by representatives from Brunswick County Search and Rescue and the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office.
Lunch with Prez & Friends
Immediately following the meeting, we will gather at Sunset Prime. To better accommodate our group, the restaurant staff recommend the buffet lunch. On Tuesday, October 13, the buffet will feature Taco Tuesday, including a taco bowl option for those who would like to make a taco salad.
The buffet is $19.99 and includes the featured soup of the day, salad fixings, dessert, and a nonalcoholic beverage of your choice. Guests may also order from the standard menu; those items will be prepared to order.
Please email Jennie Mischel at jmischel21@yahoo.com no later than noon on Monday, October 12, to let her know whether you plan to attend.
On-the-Go Event
Less than half of the tickets remain for our December On-the-Go event: Miracle on 34th Street, The Musical, at Thalian Hall in Wilmington on Sunday, December 13, at 2:00 p.m.
The cost is $38.00, and payment must be received before a seat can be reserved. Paid members may place a check payable to STGC, with “December On-the-Go” noted in the memo line, in the STGC mailbox located in the Creekside Building.
