Meet your new President, Terrie Haft
Greetings!
When my husband, Peter, and I moved to Kenmure in
May 2012, we were renters. I wasn’t sure I wanted to
leave Houston and start over again where we didn’t know
anyone. One of the first people to welcome us was
Harriet Garrison, the KNN Membership Chair. She
explained the concept of KNN and how easy it would be
to meet our neighbors while enjoying a variety of activities. We joined
right away! Not long after becoming members of KNN, we were taken to
lunch at the club by Harmon and Mona Trogdon, part of KNN’s Member to
Member Program. They answered our many questions about Hendersonville and the area. By this time we had already met many wonderful
people and were feeling pretty comfortable with our decision to settle in
Kenmure. We sold our home in Houston and bought a home on Greenleaf
Drive. It wasn’t long after we bought our new home that we were welcomed
to our new neighborhood by Marian Hansen, who was our Neighborhood
Representative. Thanks to Marian, we met many of our neighbors and
really felt at home. In April 2013, we became full time residents. You can
see where I’m going with this . . . Kenmure Newcomers & Neighbors made
our transition to retirement and a new community a joyful experience.
As this year’s KNN President, along with our capable Board, I hope to help
many new KNN members ease into their new life at Kenmure and Berwick
Downs.
Our 2015 Board of Directors consists of five new members and four
returning members. I’m thrilled that Jeanne Sudderth (Database Chair),
Cynthia Vick (Treasurer) and Elaine Hessong (Activities Chair) have signed
on for another year. We’re also pleased to have these new board members: CC Blackburn (VP), Marian Hansen (Membership Chair), Louise
Wiley (Secretary), Sid Alexander (Programs), and Aggie Alexander
(Communications). We all look forward to helping you become involved in
the many wonderful activities KNN has to offer. We all owe a big “Thank
You” to the following outgoing board members for their hard work and
dedication - Jane Holland, Margie Scott, Sue Gordon, Joe Pucilowski, and
Susan Kasper. Thank you all so much! And to Betty Brown, our outgoing
President – thank you so much for bringing me on board and showing me
the ropes.
KNN couldn’t run without the members who volunteer their time and
efforts to this fabulous organization. Thank you to our Neighborhood
Representatives, Activity Leaders, Member-to-Member Committee,
Decorating Committee, and the Database Management Team. We are
grateful for all they do. We’re always looking to add to our volunteer base,
so please think about giving some time to KNN.
On Friday, March 27, we’ll host our first dinner of 2015. You’ll find all the
information in this newsletter. Please join us for what promises to be a
very enjoyable evening.
Terrie Haft, President
