We would like you to join us on Sunday, May 22nd for
a fun day of golf to be followed by dinner at the
Members Club at 6 p.m. If you live on St James Dr,
up to and including Lakeside Commons and Ruddy Duck
Rd, we invite you to join us for our second
neighborhood golf get together. You do not have to
play golf but come join us at Members at 6 pm.

More specific information will follow, but if you
are interested at this point, please contact Chris
Devine at jcdevine@msn.com or Matt Pfeifer at

last year had a great time and we hope to see more

Purple and Patriotic Bows

Spring is here along with the beautiful purple bows
showing our support for cancer awareness. These bows
will be displayed the entire month of April and
replaced after May 1 with patriotic blue bows and an
American flag in support of Operation At Ease.

 

Patriotic bow volunteers may pick up their packets
at the April St. James Service Club Meeting on April
13^th.  If you are unable to attend,
please try to arrange for someone else to pick up
your packet at the meeting.  Other arrangements for
pick up or delivery may be made by contacting Cindi
Neumann, 253-9819. 

 

It is not too late to order a patriotic bow. Please
call Cindi Neumann or email her at cindi91048@aol.com.

 

A hearty thank you to our dedicated volunteers who
make these projects so successful each and every
year, and to all our neighbors who proudly show
their support of these causes by displaying the
bows.

 A Thank You

The St. James Knitters Club approached the POA
Warrior Ride Committee several weeks ago, asking if
they could donate a patriotic afghan to our visiting
warrior women.   On March 31, 2011 three
representatives of the St. James Knitters brought
not one – but three beautiful afghans and presented
them to three lucky women whose names were selected
in a drawing.  Many hearts and hands provided these
handmade treasures.  Thank you all for your
generosity and thoughtfulness.

 

And Another Thank You!

On behalf of the
American Red Cross, and more importantly, the
patients and families that depend on your efforts,
THANK YOU.  The St. James Community Blood Drive was
an overwhelming success due to the generous support
of our St. James neighbors.  We collected 105 units
of blood, 12 of which were from 6 double red cell
donors. CONGRATULATIONS!  A special thank you to The
Clubs, Mr. John Brown and Ms. Brandee Donnelly for
their support in providing a comfortable location,
allowing us to serve more people.  Our next blood
drive will be on Monday, September 26, 2011.  Please
save the date.  Thank you for caring enough to
give.  Sue Mills

Nancy Schulte Watercolors Featured at
Franklin Square Gallery Thru May 7

St. James watercolor artist Nancy Schulte is a
Featured Artist at the Franklin Square Gallery
Members Show from March 28 until May 7.  She has
been painting with watercolors for over 25 years,
and has been giving classes in St. James since she
moved here from Atlanta seven years ago.  ”I’m a
nurse by profession because I thought I had to have
a ‘career.’  Now I’ve been teaching painting for
fifteen years.  I love to encourage others to
express themselves,” Nancy says. 

 

Her watercolors focus on a range of
subjects–people, landscapes, and flowers– but her
inspiration comes from the heart.  “In my paintings,
I feel it is important to tell stories from my own
heart.  My family, friends, and faith influence how
I look at life.  I have a great respect for life,
and I hope it shows in my paintings.” 

 

You are invited to view Nancy’s latest watercolors
at the Franklin Square Gallery Monday through
Saturday from 10 to 5.  Artwork by over thirty other
St. James artists is also on display as part of the
on-going Member’s Show.  Admission is free.  The
gallery is also open for evening receptions from 5-7
during downtown Southport’s First Friday Gallery
Walk.  It is located behind Franklin Square Park two
blocks from the waterfront.
