pks club news PKS Women's Club The Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club is dedicated to the advancement of its members and the promotion of higher social and civic conditions in the community. We make raising funds for charity fun! You can come and join our meetings where we have coffee, tea, snacks and sharing of ideas. We invite you to join our fun-loving group of ladies! Your presence will only add to our collective contribution to our neighborhood, and we would really like to meet you. Recently we enjoyed a game of To Tell the Truth at our meeting. Lisa Smith and Mark Kramer each presented their case that they were a poker player. As a group, we asked questions attempting to make a more educated guess as to the real identity of the poker player. Lisa Smith outwitted only half of our group. It was a fun way for everyone to interact and participate. Our theme this year is Making A Difference and as November directs our thoughts on being thankful, we got an early start this year by deciding to give monthly our many thanks and appreciation to the staff at our local hospital, Carteret Health Care. We are thankful for their dedicated care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This past month our group made a difference with cards and cash, muffins and fruit, puzzles, art and of course chocolate in many forms.
