Graduates,

May is almost here and hopefully the pollen will go away! The Graduate Newcomer Board met this week and I want to share our plans for the rest of the year. Please plan to attend our exciting events and RSVP to the coordinator. They volunteer their time to provide a variety of events for your enjoyment.

The membership list is on the website (see link above) and password protected. Email for the password. Please keep us informed on any changes to your contact information.

After discussion, it was agreed that the membership yearly fee should be increased from $5 to $10 per person beginning with 2025 dues. Membership fees are for the calendar year, January through December. Membership renewal should be done in December.

Some events that are being considered: a boat scavenger hunt in July, Troubadour Project – A 70's Iconic Rock Revival Show at Walhalla Performing Arts Center in August, Shuffleboard at Keowee Key in October and maybe a Lunch and Learn event.
