Dear Sisters:
It is
with great pleasure and excitement that I welcome spring, my very
favorite season of the year. Enjoy planting your vegetable and
flower gardens. Also, now is the time to get in some outdoor
exercises and activities utilizing our many Mercer County Parks.
Ladies,
we did another terrific job on March 25, with our Annual Open
House. I thank you for your hard work and perseverance. The three
students who received scholarships were excellent choices. We thank
their advisors, Ms. Rodriquez from Mercer County Community College
and Ms. Joseph from St. Peters College, who are positive role models
to these ladies. They continue to be supportive of our efforts to
assist women who have had the courage to return to school and pursue
their dreams.
Our guest
speaker, Ms. S. Harley did a wonderful job and I’m sure the students
learned a lot from her experiences. A big thank you goes out to
her.
Thank you
CJNBW members for your cooperation in making the Open House a
success. Special thanks to Lois for being our college contact
person; to Louise for all the beautiful decorations which were

|
a
hit, and to Liston for designing and printing the Program
Booklet.
Congratulations to our “Honorary Members” George, Marcia, Niambi
and Walter. We can’t thank these individuals sufficiently for
their monetary contributions towards our scholarship fund.
Our
guest speaker for April 10, will be Melva J. Harris, an
Independent Business Owner, who will speak about “getting in
control of your own financial lives, living debt free, taking
your life out of the hands of employers, and retiring with the
assurance that your money will not run out.”
We
have been fortunate to reschedule Ms. Satterfield for our May 8
meeting, having had to postpone her talk in February due to bad
weather. Remember, her topic will be “African Americans in the
Princeton Area” dating back 6 or 7 generations. Please
invite your
friends
I
look forward to seeing everyone at these upcoming CJNBW
meetings
