🎉 The Raintree Chapter is excited to celebrate one of our own! Congratulations to our ABWA sister, Elaine, on her retirement!

Since 2017, Elaine has served as a Branch Office Administrator at Erika Hayes’ Edward Jones office in New Castle. She has also been an active member of the Edward Jones Regional Leadership Team for the past four years.

We are so proud of Elaine and all she has accomplished throughout her career. We are especially grateful for the leadership, friendship, and enthusiasm she brings to our Raintree Chapter. 💜

Retirement means a little more time for the things she loves! Elaine and her husband, Ron, are looking forward to traveling, visiting their college grandchildren, and making new memories together. And we hear there’s a pretty good stack of books calling her name! 📚✈️

Elaine, your Raintree sisters wish you a very happy retirement and a wonderful next chapter filled with family, adventures, relaxation, and plenty of good books.

Congratulations, Elaine! We can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes you

Summer Sizzler 2026. Another good event. Our own Cheryl Blair was named Council Woman of the Year.

Good meeting to start the year. We installed officers and gave our scholarship winner her check. We had 3 guests and 1 joined. Lots of planning and networking. Honored outgoing President, Cheryl. No better way to start the year.

A big Thank You to everyone who helped us celebrate our 60th Anniversary last Saturday! Our celebration was a tribute to ABWA member's accomplishments over the past 6 decades.

We are so grateful to District V Vice President Renee Clement for her perfect gift to Raintree Chapter and her amazing speech!

We were also honored to have past National President Anne O'Neill in attendance to share a few words and give the toast to Raintree Chapter.

Mistress of Ceremonies Cheryl Blair used her special ABWA Spark and presented the amazing quilt Eileen Caspers quilted using Raintree group pictures and member info.

Six former Raintree members along with other Indiana and Michigan ABWA members were able to join us at our celebration.

We look forward to continued ABWA friendships!
