In the Women’s Club we talk a great deal about our friends. We enjoy getting together with our friends and having social occasions to celebrate our friends. But lately I have been thinking of something on a slightly different level than friendship when it comes to the Women’s Club.

I think we have something here in Lakeway that transcends friendship. We have the opportunity to be a part of something better than friendship and that is what makes our club unique. That is why our club has thrived through the growth of Lakeway from a lake resort to a small city, why we have gone from a population of retirees to a community of young families and single-family homes. It is why we have survived the Texas heat, the drought, ice storms and even a pandemic.

Here, in Lakeway as a community and in Women’s club specifically, we have fellowship. The dictionary defines fellowship as a friendly relationship marked by ready communication and mutual understanding or a group of persons formally joined together for some common interest. Words associated with fellowship are affinity, rapport, harmony, togetherness, empathy, chumminess, companionship and solidarity.

This is what we strive for in the Women’s Club. We may miss that mark on occasion but we are always looking to do a better job, gain more understanding, welcome new members and new ideas and support each other.

So, the next time you attend a meeting take a moment to look at the diverse group of ladies we have in this club. Look for that new member and invite them to sit with you. Get to know someone new in the group. Talk about ideas and interests and get to know each other. See what you can do to present the best impression of the Women’s Club that you can to others. If you do that, I know that you will find more friends than you ever thought possible. If you do that, I know that the Women’s Club will continue to be the same outstanding example of fellowship in the future that it has been for the past 38 years.
