March 1st is the new deadline for Dues Renewal (previously January 1st) Kudos to a large number of our member list for taking care of their quick and easy dues renewal online - it helps us so much! Like a business, PJWC has expenses and our dues are the means to cover expenses so that $ raised during our summer fundraisers is fully for grants for LC area non-profits. We so appreciate the greater majority of our members who have already renewed. Do you still need to renew/pay dues & need help? Please contact Joan Huey: joanhuey@ymail.com 832-586-6211 | Featured member | In 2019, Christine Fletcher and her husband, Derek started looking for a seasonal retirement home to get away from the Texas summer heat. Christine said when Derek showed her the Tack Shed listing on his computer, “it didn’t look like a real place. I thought he was showing me a Bob Ross painting.” Although they still searched in NM and considered Pagosa Springs, Derek said he didn’t feel like he was “in the mountains.” The Fletchers passed on South Fork and Creede and finally made their way to LC and as soon as they stepped foot on the Tack Shed property, Christine says, “It felt like home.” The Fletchers recently sold their home in Parker, TX and plan to divide time between Lake City and Mineola, TX - also on a lake, where Christine’s parents live. The Fletchers both still work full time, not retired yet, and can work remotely some. The Fletchers have two grown sons, one graduated with an MBA from Univ of Arkansas and the other a sophomore at Univ of Arkansas. Christine’s family feels blessed to call The Tack Shed their home and sharing that blessing with others. As a favor to a young couple whose wedding venue closed during Covid, the Fletchers hosted their wedding in their yard. Then her neighbor's wedding, then a friend's wedding and it just blossomed by word of mouth. What started as 1 event per summer, evolved to 1 each month, then 1 each week. This year The Tack Shed will host a record 33 weddings on the summer & fall calendar. In their free time , you'll find the Fletchers fishing, paddleboarding, or just enjoying themselves in town. Christine says, “We are obsessed with the wine & music festival, the arts fair, the Mountaineer Theater, farmers market and SUP race in the summer (I won the SUP race in 2023 & 2024🤩 )” Christine and her family also enjoy winter fun at the ski hill, snowshoeing across the lake and ice fishing with their sons. Christine has been involved with PJWC for several years, has served as a lunch hostess and donated items for the Toast Silent Auction. Christine values the fellowship, networking, and support of the ladies in PWJC. Our events are not only fun for the community, they generate much-needed funds for worthy causes and the betterment of our little town. |
