SPN - Single Professionals Network

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

The 36th Anniversary Party is now in the rear-view mirror! Everyone had positive comments on how much fun it was. I particularly liked Margaret’s statement that it was a “roaring success!” Many members came early to help the Board set up and stayed to help clean up, and we really appreciated that. Our favorite DJ Paul Davis selected a great variety of music for the evening; and there was lots of dancing, including several line dances, the twist, cotton-eyed joe, and more. Most fun was Susanne’s promised “Chicken Dance.” Of course, we couldn’t let her have all the fun so we joined in! Last, but not least, the new Board for 2024-25 was installed. It was a great night!

The next major attraction is the annual Kentucky Derby Party at a member's home. Then we have a weenie roast at a member’s hill country home (weather permitting), and a Memorial Day Party at a member’s neighborhood clubhouse. This is in addition to all our happy hours twice every week.

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.
