Introducing Committee Member Betsy Thurston

We are pleased to introduce the members of the GKWC Garden of Roses 2016 Roses & Pearls Champagne Brunch & Auction Event Planning Committee. Through a series of  questions and answers, you’ll meet Club members who may have served on the committee in the past, as well as new members who are assuming roles for the first time.

Say hello to Betsy Thurston, the 2016 Garden of Roses Committee Chair for Silent Auction Tables Layout & Design.

• How long have you been a member of GKWC?  I joined in 2007.
• How did you hear about GKWC and what prompted you to join? I read about GKWC in the Keller newspaper; it was an article stating that there was a new member social at Jennifer Armstrong's home. We had just moved to Texas; the ladies were so friendly that I joined on the spot!
• Is this the first time you’ve volunteered for the Garden of Roses fundraising committee?  No, I've worked every year for Garden of Roses since 2007.
• If not, list other volunteer roles have you held with prior Garden of Roses fashion shows/fundraisers? I've mostly served in Silent Auction related positions although I have chaired Greeters. 
• What are you most looking forward to with the 2016 fundraiser and your role?  I'm looking forward to this being a "girls" event with the opportunity to invite family and friends. The brunch sounds like a great idea. As always, I'm looking forward to working with the Table Layout Team, the camaraderie, and the fun of discovering what our donations will be.

The next time you see Betsy, please join us in thanking her for her many years of service and continuing to volunteer her time and talents to GKWC and the community.
