SPN - Single Professionals Network

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Do you have your creative costume ready for our annual Halloween party? This year’s party will be at Mary’s home on Wednesday, October 30th. We hope you plan to join us ghosts, goblins, and witches for an evening of frightful fun and ghoulishly good times! Thanks to Mary for hosting!

Thanks again to Julie for arranging the day trip to visit the San Antonio Food Bank for 15 of our members. The magnitude of what the Food Bank provides is amazing. It’s numerous programs not only solve the immediate problems of hunger but help individuals and families gain long-term food security. Besides touring the massive warehouse, we got to check out the refrigerated area and large freezer (brrr!), the kitchen and oven areas, the culinary teaching area, and the deer processing area (oh yes!)

Our next big day trip will be sponsored by Paul on Saturday, November 9th to Karnes County for a day of fun at the local festival along with a tour of his grandfather’s historic home site and much more. We will carpool to this event so be sure to RSVP.

Please note that tickets for our annual Christmas Gala at the Petroleum Club will be available for sale at the Halloween party so bring your $$.

Sue Logan,
SPN President

Many of us find ourselves alone after many years of marriage and raising children. This can happen suddenly and can be very overwhelming. I quickly realized that I was responsible for my happiness and well-being. No one was going to feel sorry for me, and that was the reality of my situation. I was aware of some church singles groups; and with a lady friend, I decided to try one out. Instead, what we walked into was an SPN birthday party. There we were in all of our glory, not knowing a sole, not really even knowing what SPN was. Immediately, we were welcomed to the party, introduced to others, and invited to have some cake. This was roughly twelve years ago, and I have been an active member of this wonderful group ever since. This is a family of friends, a place where you can walk in alone and feel right at home. I have an opportunity to participate in the many activities provided to this group by our Board Members. Yes, SPN has been a blessing for me. I have made many, really good friends. We are active seniors that find strength in knowing others in SPN and having someone to do fun activities with.
