Dear Members and Friends of the ANWC,

I am thrilled to be returning as president of the ANWC once more to manage a new year of “Saving History” on the heels of our epic 90th Anniversary gala honoring Bob Woodward, also the 50th year of Watergate. It was a successful evening in many ways for the Club, and we have shared some wonderful moments in our new summer issue of Shop Talk (attached). We are particularly thankful to our members, supporters, and sponsors large and small.

I’m honored to be working with you all in every capacity this year to remember, revive and restore our Club's illuminating history through the decades. In that order, we will be holding historical (in person and Covid friendly) programs and we will be planning a special day at the Club where people bring in, mail in, or share ANWC history. Hal Matson has joined the Board again, this year, as Vice President and head of the History Committee.

Please renew your membership (attached), answer a few fun survey questions on the renewal invoice, kindly sign up for a committee and/or bring a friend to our next program and consider sponsoring a new member. We need your support, feedback, and expertise now more than ever.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the Club for what promises to be an exciting year.

With appreciation,

Jean White

Helen R. White (Jean)
