IMPORTANT REMINDER MESSAGE

EVERYONE who wishes to attend the monthly luncheons MUST contact Carol Goyena by the date specified (the Friday before the scheduled meeting) to make a reservation. This is the only method we have to ensure that the caterer prepares enough food & that we will have the correct number of tables & table decorations to accommodate everyone. Even if you have always come every month, you need to notify Carol. Several people have become lax about doing this & it is becoming a problem.

December 2024

Tribute to Kay Kinder

The Fountain Hills Women's Club has lost a very dear member. Kay Kinder, a cherished part of our community, passed away in November.

As the owner of Fountain Fashions, Kay was honored by our club for her unwavering support of our fundraising efforts and her longtime membership. Her fashion shows, which accompanied our annual spring luncheons, played a significant role in enabling us to award scholarships to high school seniors and women continuing their education.

Kay was not just a member but a pillar of our club. She was part of the original Fountain Hills Women's Club and, in recent years, became an honorary member. Her dedication and support were truly remarkable.

Kay's journey with Fountain Fashions began in December 1973, and her shop quickly became a gathering spot known for its cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. She was honored as Fountain Hills Businessperson of the Year in 1990 and was later inducted into the Fountain Hills Hall of Fame in 2004. As the original recipient of the Chamber’s Customer Service Award, she was listed in Today’s Arizona Woman Who’s Who. Her shop was named one of the Top 10 women’s boutiques in the Valley for five years.

Kay was a glamorous and fashionable woman with a heart of gold. As we remember her laughter and the joy she brought into our lives, let us keep Kay’s memory alive in our hearts and prayers.
