Women's League
WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 2025 | Southern Maryland Women’s League: Muu Muu’s, Margaritas, & Minute-to-Win-It Mayhem! The Southern Maryland Women’s League turned up the color, the fun, and the volume on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, with one of our most vibrant and lively meetings yet! The theme? Muu Muu’s, Margaritas, Mexican Fare & Minute-to-Win-It Games, and it was every bit as fabulous as it sounds.
Our members arrived decked out in their most dazzling kaftans and playful accessories, ready to sip fresh margaritas, indulge in festive fare, and dive into games that had everyone laughing (and sometimes toppling) together.
The evening kicked off with a delicious dinner, refreshing cocktails, and an array of desserts, generously provided by Grille 13 and lovingly coordinated by our ever-creative Programs Chair, Katie Rose. As everyone enjoyed the flavors and flair of the evening, we also conducted our General Membership Meeting.
Committee chairs shared updates on grants, scholarships, upcoming fundraisers, and plans for the June Member Appreciation and Elections Meeting. We were honored to have several of the League’s founding members in attendance, who reminded us just how far we’ve come.
Past Presidents, Rona Kelly reflected on her pride in co-founding the League and watching it grow into a powerful force for good. Candice Kelly shared her vision of creating something joyful yet impactful for women and the community. Diana Rucci spoke to our united efforts in fundraising, celebrating over $530,000 raised to date! And current President, Andy Sanford rallied the group for our next big effort: the 2025 Monster Mash 5K Fun Run, which supports our ongoing scholarships, grants, and philanthropic giving.
With spirits high, we transitioned to the reception area of Darlene Breck’s Southern Maryland Business Center for the evening’s main event: Minute-to-Win-It games, Muu Muu style! This year’s games were more animated than ever, with colorful kaftans flowing and laughter echoing through the room.
Members competed in a whirlwind of challenges including Cookie Face, Red Solo Cup Stack-Ups, Balloon Blows, Guess-the-Rattling-Box, Toilet Paper Races, Bottle Flips, Suck-It-Up Straw & Skittles, and more! It was fierce, fabulous, and hilariously fun.
As tradition dictates, the victorious team took home the coveted SMWL Rubber Duckie trophy, and full bragging rights until next year.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, dressed up, brought energy, and embraced the League’s mission with joy and generosity. We’re already counting down to the next round of Muu Muu magic and Minute-to-Win-It madness!
