Sonja Golinski establishes IWC service days and food drives

Sonja Golinski served as President from 2006-2008. During Sonja’s term, the position of Membership Chairperson and Database Chairperson were combined. Due to increased technology and to help facilitate better communication, the two positions were merged to better serve the Club. This also brought about necessary by-law changes and, while in the process, much of the language of the by-laws was “cleaned up”. On the philanthropic front, Sonja initiated the concept of service days and food drives. In addition to giving our dollars to charitable organizations, we also donated our time. Our first service day, included providing and preparing 150 lunches to the Senior Islander Group and our food drives helped to provide much needed assistance to families during the Christmas holidays. She also helped to oversee the continued expansion of our lunch venues, which proves to be very popular with the membership. Finally, the Club celebrated its 25th anniversary with a dinner and dance in November 2006 with the highlight of having some of the original members in attendance.
