About the evening

The invitation was a navy tarot card, a gold sun and constellations around the border, promising a celestial evening of tarot, astrology and fun. This was the year the club moved Hope out of December and into February, so the evening for the 2025 to 2026 club year landed on February 7 at Biltmore Country Club.

Hope stands for Helping Other People Enjoy. Every December the club trades its usual meeting for a night out together, and the evening doubles as the club's holiday gift drive, with members and guests buying gift cards for area families that are given out through Giving Day and partner agencies.
