The Ladies Networking Group, founded by Livian Jones, met at the Bridge Tender restaurant this month. This energetic group of ladies, including Julie Tames-Hale and Renee Jones, sure knows how to combine, both business and social networking. Kristie Tomey, Deb Hays and Holland Graham loved catching up with each other’s summer excursions, while squeezing in a little shop talk. The outside scenic water view was crowded with boaters and a reminder that summer time in Wilmington is still going strong, even though the start of school is just around the corner.

Happy Birthday, Susan McLeod, who celebrated her 40th birthday among friends at Joy Cash’s home on Lee’s Cut. The party setting was festive with everyone dressed in black to mark Susan’s fourth decade birthday and the setting sun as a backdrop. Guests had fun showering Susan with 40 year old gag gifts and other girly items.

The 2010 Leadership Wilmington Class Orientation, led by Chamber President Connie Majure-Rhett, was held this week at the Wilmington Chamber of Commence. This year the chamber combined the orientation event with an alumni social, including past graduates of the year-long leadership program. My class of 2007 is always planning reunions that never happen due to busy schedules, so I was excited to see classmates and friends,Frankie Roberts and Elizabeth Humphreys. The Karl Davis Volunteerism Award, in honor of the late Karl Davis, was presented by his wife Kathleen Baylies and Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo, to a past leadership class graduate who has excelled in volunteer and leadership capabilities. This year’s award recipient was Livian Jones of John S. Clark Construction, who among her accomplishments founded Furniture Finders, a non-profit that helps obtain furniture for those in need. The class of 2010 was excited to start the leadership program and work on its end of the year project, Work on Wilmington.
