Three Rivers'
About The Busy Bee Women's Club >
The Busy Bee Women's Club was formed in Three Rivers Estates in order to meet with the ladies of
the community in a social, noncombatant atmosphere where we can enjoy each other, take day
trips, have luncheons, and do some good for our community at the same time.

If you have any interest in joining the Busy Bee Women's Club, please call Evelyn Johnson at 386-497-4699 or Karen
Faunce at 386-497-4935.  Either lady will be happy to fill you in on the next BBC Meeting, covered dish, or road trip.  
Dues are $12.00 per year.  Every once in a while we might have a small fund raiser, or a no bake sale.  Dues go toward
our covered dish dinners and donations to local organizations such as the Fort White Seniors' Center, the Pregnancy
Center, and the Fort White Public Library.  

The Busy Bees are also involved with the Public Libraries Literacy Program where in several of the Bees have taken
classes on how to teach reading and English to residents in the Fort White Area.  
Busy Bee Women’s Club Meeting

March 2, 2010


Attendees:  Evelyn Johnson, Sassy Johnson, Becky Stokes, Reba Greuling, Karen Miranda, Joanna Kepple, Claire Oliverio, Karen Faunce, Millie
McGee, Lois Bond and Betty Wilson.

Treasurer Evelyn Johnson announced we made $34.00 at our silent auction.  Thirty went for the Angel Food Donation to a worthy person in Three Rivers
who wishes to remain anonymous and Evelyn used the other $4.00 towards computer paper and ink.  

Quick reports were given on the trip to Williston – ate at the Ivy House, visited an antique mall, had lots of fun.
       February 2nd’s Valentine’s Meeting held at Sassy Johnson’s (thank you Sassy for opening your home to the club) was a pleasure.  Everyone baked
or brought something interesting to eat and drink, and it was a great social.
       February 11th’s trip to High Springs to hear storyteller, singer Tom Shed perform was a delight and was preceded by a delicious meal at the Great
Outdoors Restaurant.  Attendees are still praising the outing, but complaining about the VERY uncomfortable chairs at the concert.
       February 16th several Bees traveled to Tallahassee to participate in the rally for spring legislation.  It was a great trip, a good breakfast and lunch on
the road, and attendees brought enough information back to distribute letters the attendees to send to our state representative and senator to encourage
spring legislation.

Field Trips planned for March:

   
    High Springs Theatre Guild is producing Agatha Christie’s Play “The Unexpected Guest”.  Members are attending Sun. 2:00 p.m.   Cost is approx.
$9.00.  Tickets can be purchased at the theatre, or in advance at the Coffee Klatch in the little strip mall in High Springs.  Plan to meet at the TREPO Club
house at 1:00 p.m. if you are planning to attend.

       Trip to Perry, Fl, Friday, March 12th to visit a Yard Art business and lunch at Mayo or in downtown Perry.  Evelyn Johnson will arrange the luncheon
plan before we leave.  Plan to meet at the TREPO Clubhouse at 9:30 a.m. on the 12th.

     
  Trip to Fl. Museum of Natural History on March 22nd to (1) Visit the Butterfly Exhibit (cost $6.50), (2) Visit the Picture Quilts Exhibit, (cost about
$4.50) and last but not least, visit the Museum (free but a donation is requested).  We will have lunch in Gainesville. Meet at the TREPO Clubhouse at 10:
00 a.m. for carpooling.

A Busy Bee project:  Members are asked to print extra copies of the Spring Initiative Letters emailed to you from Evelyn Johnson and give them to
family, neighbors and friends and encourage them to contact their local representatives and senators to get the legislation written to protect Fl Springs in
this senate year.

Welcome to new member Laura Dailey.  

Meeting was adjourned.
