Lois Berse joined Island Women after hearing about the organization from her neighbor, Cathy Chester. Lois had adopted a nest through the Pleasure Island Turtle Project but wanted to get move involved. “She told me about the different things Island Women does,” Lois recalled. “She said it was ok if you didn’t live on the Island.”

Gail Smyth joined Island Women in 2009 shortly after she moved to Wilmington full-time because she wanted to “volunteer and do something.” Back then, less than 40 women belonged to the organization, and meetings were held over breakfast at a local restaurant.

When Debbie Scott moved to Kure Beach from Lancaster, PA, nearly three years ago, her main mission was to figure out how to meet people. “My neighbor told me to join Island Women,” Debbie said. “I didn’t know that she wasn’t even a member!” Debbie went to the Island Women website that day and joined. Then she started checking out the upcoming events.

The membership committee plays a vital role in making all Island Women members feel welcome.
