tarot and trivia ladies’ night

monday, october 29
5:30pm

The Sangamo Club presents a frightfully fun evening, full of mystery, a touch of magic and spooky trivia.
This ladies night out will be unlike any other you have seen! We will be featuring Tarot Card reader, Morgan
Paige, who wants to bring you a divinely guided personal reading that suits you here and now. Tarot is all
about your intuition. It’s the inner voice of your higher self, and Tarot cards can help you embrace messages.
It’s not about lifting ‘curses’ or meddling with other people’s choices. It’s not necessarily about gloomy omens
or impending doom or opening evil doors. Tarot is a tool for confident decision-making, clear communication
and timely, decisive action. With each Tarot reading, you can explore the pros & cons of different choices that
you might make. It is a fascinating ancient art that we are excited to offer our members. But the fun won’t stop
there! As you wait for your personal reading we will also be hosting team trivia! So put on you witch’s cap
and bring all of your Halloween knowledge to the table! We suggest teams of five but accommodations will
be made to meet the needs of the ladies who attend.

artist of the month - lily fields

“The journey, whether near or far, is what rejuvenates my being, fuels my desire
to create and inspires my photography.”- Lily Fields

Born in Taipei Taiwan, Lily Kan-Fields immigrated to the US with her father, mother, and older sister when
she was four years old. She grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, moving five times before the age of ten, and
then moving three more times over the course of high school. For some, moving so many times would be
daunting, but for not Lily. To this day, every few years she feels the urge to move, and she believes her love of
travel was born from her journeys as a child.

Raised mostly in Woodridge and Naperville IL, Lily moved to Chatham, IL after getting married. She discov-
ered her love for photography while in high school and continued to pursue her passion in college. She earned
her Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the University of Illinois at Springfield. While in college, she won
the Bruce Magidsohn Scholarship Award. She also won best of show in the 1999 Juried Student Art Show for
her Raku and honorable mention for her black and white series of nudes. After college, she took time to raise
her family. She and her husband are proud parents of five beautiful children, ranging in ages from 10 to 24.
Lily is a floral designer in Springfield and pursues photography in her spare time as well as hand-made, wire-
wrapped jewelry with a conscious emphasis on using recycled materials.

membership report

by ali murphy, membership director

Since June 18, 1890 the Sangamo Club has represented the peak of high class dining, exception-
al ambiance, and above all first-class service to its very fine members in the Springfield area and
beyond. Being a member of our premiere dining club is an investment in yourself and the com-
munity. As the new Membership Director, I would like to see our membership reach new heights!
Membership by invitation and positive word of mouth will take us there. I invite every member
to have someone to the Club. Together we can show area residents the value of a membership.
Bring a friend, a family member or a co-worker. Now is the time for our current members to act as
ambassadors for their Club. Help us get the word out. We all know the Sangamo Club is the place
to be, but now it’s time to show everyone else! Lead the charge for the future by introducing po-
tential members to the Sangamo Club, engaging younger members in many events and activities,
and focusing on member experiences and interactions for those under the age of 40.

We’re offering gift cards! Sangamo Club
Gift Card
The best kind of gift is one everyone can enjoy!
For birthdays, accomplishments, or just because...
you can’t go wrong with a Sangamo Club Gift Card!

Contact Mary and she will make out a gift card of the amount of
your choice and present it to your special someone! Cards can be

redeemed for food and beverages at the Sangamo Club.

Please welcome mary hall, administrative assistant

My personal mission is to be a strong and positive role model to not only
my daughter, but for any individual I interact with. I hope to inspire oth-
ers to never stop seeking out new experiences and adventures. Growing
up in a family that was always on the move, I have lived in many places
across the country. I was encouraged when I was young to be active and
involved. During my school years, I participated in sports such as vol-
leyball, tennis, soccer, softball and competitive swimming. In December
2007, I obtained my certification in Office Technology from Southwestern
Illinois College of Granite City, IL. I immediately began working as an
Administrative Assistant, and have been working in administration since.
I began working with The Boys & Girls Club of America in 2013. This is
when I started to learn how much I enjoy working in a club environment
because of the interactions I had with people from all walks of life. By
February 2017 I began working with Island Bay Yacht Club where I assist-
ed with the membership and other administrative tasks. This is when I
started getting to know many members within the community and sur-
rounding areas. I came to Sangamo to learn how to work in other areas
within the club, and have more interaction with the members. I am very
excited to be a part of Sangamo Club and looking forward to working
with all of you!

member of the month – Dr. Charlotte J. Warren

Background:
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in nursing and a master’s degree in psychi-
atric nursing from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I
went on to complete a Ph.D. in counseling psychology and research from the Uni-
versity of Virginia. My career has encompassed practicing and teaching nursing,
a practice in psychotherapy and college administration. I also served 21 years in
the Georgia Army Na­tional Guard, retiring as Colonel and Honorary Brigadier
General. Currently I am privileged to have served as the President of Lincoln
Land Community College for the past 12 years..
Accomplishments:
Since moving to Springfield I have been honored to contribute to the community
through a number of or­ganizations including the United Way Board, the Greater
Springfield Chamber of Commerce Board, and the Mid-Illinois Medical District
Commission. Nationally I get to continue to support the reserve armed forces by
serving on the Reserve Forces Policy Board, an advisory board within the offices
of the Secretary of Defense.
Why You’re a Member:
Sangamo Club is a great place to meet and do business, while still being able to enjoy a great meal. All of the special events
offered are a great bonus.
Making Memories:
Sitting around a large table of friends, oyster shells piled high from the Oyster fest. It is always a great excuse for a party!

‘tis the season for generosity

As a part of our Local First initiative and in the spirit of giving, the Sangamo Club invites our members and staff to
get involved. The Club will be collecting donations to support two local institutes. We will be collecting blankets,
sweat shirts, and socks for the Washington Street Mission. Donations will be delivered the week of Thanksgiving.
So if you find yourself cleaning out your closet, do your part and bring in these items. We are also supporting HSHS
St. Johns Children’s Hospital by way of new toy and art supplies donations. These items must be purchased new
to be given to the children. Together we can help those in need this holiday season.
