2023 Taste & Talk
Plans for the October 14, 2023, “Taste & Talk” are already underway. The Taste & Talk Committee will recommend where the funds will be used. Members will vote on the recommendations at the fall business meeting. Last year’s event was a big success. Every member is encouraged to participate this year so that we can equal that success.
We would love for more members to serve on the Taste & Talk Committee. We will also need volunteers to set up on October 13, clean up after the event. Sign up for these jobs here:

Celebrates Partnership with Safe Harbor
Nu Chapter celebrated its partnership with Safe Harbor at the April 1, 2023, meeting. Vicki Murray, Safe Harbor CEO, met with Nu Chapter to conduct a tour of the Chloe Waldrop Taylor Renewal Center, the community center that focuses on providing services that support the needs of women while building community and enhancing their quality of life. Then, Murray shared some facts about their programs. Safe Harbor . . .
. . . is a Christ-centered, 501(c)3 organization.
. . . includes housing and training for women.
. . . started in 2004 for single women experiencing homelessness or transitioning from prison.
. . . provides a free, year-long program empowering women to experience long-term recovery.
. . . recently opened a recovery day center in Boone.

Following the tour and program, Nu President Leslie Black presented Safe Harbor with a $550 check for its mission in helping women within our community to rebuild, renew, and recover as they work towards independent living.
