The 2026 Egg Hunt Was A Great Success!

The 2026 EGG HUNT GREAT SUCCESS! Even the weather cooperated! Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who showed up at the event and made it so fun. The youth volunteers were especially appreciated, as they donned the Hoppy costume, applied tattoos, helped kids with the Jellybean contest, put out eggs for the hunt, came early for set-up, and stayed late for clean-up. A big thank you to all those who worked so hard behind the scenes, too, including the amazing Egg Stuffers. We also wish to thank Reet Sangha, owner of the Eastgate Dairy Queen, who generously donated 50 coupons for free ice cream comes. We’re looking forward to doing it again in 2027!

Yours,

Heidi Schoon, Egg Hunt Chair, and Anne Rittenhouse, Co-Chair”

Bylaw Amendments 2025

The Club’s bylaws have not been updated since 2010. Since then, there have been changes in the Washington State Nonprofit Corporation Law, which governs the Club, changes in technology, and changes in the Club’s operations, all of which ought to be reflected in our bylaws.

A copy of the proposed bylaw changes has been emailed to all current members, and we will be introducing the proposed changes at the March 18 General Membership Meeting. The Board expects to ask the membership to vote to approve the final wording of the changes at our Fall 2025 General Membership Meeting. One important change we are proposing is to streamline the bylaw amendment procedure!

A complete copy of the bylaws, with the proposed changes shown in track changes, is here.

A brief explanation of each change and the reasoning behind it is here.

Garden Tour 2025

OUR 2nd ANNUAL GARDEN TOUR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

The NHCC 2nd Annual Garden Tour was held on Saturday, June 14th, from 10-12 and we had beautiful weather to go along with the beautiful gardens. Approximately 31 folks met at the old bank building in the shopping center, and we carpooled/caravanned as a group to the four amazing gardens. Attendees were awed by unusual plants, whimsical fairies, colorful blooms, water features, mammoth and delicate blossoms, artistic arrangements, ornamental edibles, and incredible yard art!  We were inspired, educated, and met new friends along the way.

A BIG thank you to the owners who so graciously allowed us to invade their space. Jay and Jill; Michelle; Anne and Dan; and Lela were very hospitable, and shared maintenance tips and gardening ideas. It was just a great community-building event, and a lovely way to spend a morning in our Newport Hills neighborhood, despite the 405 detour traffic!

If you want to see photos of the event, or took photos you’d like to share, you can do so at:

Hope to see you next year! 

Sincerely, Anne Rittenhouse and Christy Santos, Garden Tour Co-Chairs
