President’s Message  – May 2025

MAY all your dreams, aspirations, hopes and ambitions be attainable this year. (Might as well shoot for the Moon, maybe you’ll at least reach some stars, right?)

May is the only month that needs no 3-letter abbreviation! May is a great word in so many settings… May is also associated with Might (“I wish I may, I wish I might…”)

With all of that potential packed into a tiny powerhouse of a word, we can only expect great things for this month, so let’s all do just that.
I look forward to hearing from all of you about how many wonderful things are going on in your endeavors to excel in your writing and any other artistic talents you are blessed to have in your storehouse of abilities.

Be sure to fill out those Shoutout form on the Newsletter page of our website ( https://cwc-fremontareawriters.org/newsletter-cwc/) and share the joy and inspiration with your friends and family. You never know whom you will impact and inspire.

Reminder, this coming June is the election cycle, put your name in the ring, there’s something about having a title behind your name that says confidence and ability. Whatever your gifts, there is something you can share and accomplish on behalf of FAW in serving and helping the organization to grow and thrive.

Thanks for all of the love and support you gave to me over the past several years, and I wish great success to the upcoming leaders of the best CWC branch. I will be working alongside as much as I can while we move forward into great success together.

Thanks again for being wonderful people and dear friends.
Sincerely heartfelt gratitude to all of you.

Terry Tosh
