PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE:
My dear sisters:
What a festive start, the
Holiday Party at Jessica’s, although it was technically a
few days before January first!
The members and guests who attended enjoyed
Jessica’s hospitality, the conversations, the delicious
meal contributions, and as usual, Liston captured it all for
posterity. Check
our web site to see the pictures.
The personal care products donated by members at the
party were delivered to the Crisis Ministries last week.
Thanks, Jessica, Liston, and all who came and
contributed.
We are
reminded that we do good work in an article about us that
appeared in today’s Times (Trenton) on last
October’s Open House and the book award winners. Thank you, Illean, for ensuring the coverage in both the Times
and the Herald. We
should all be proud of the services that we provide as we
strive to continue to be “sisters” in our communities
and to each other.
This
year’s Calendar starts with a presentation on “Elder
Care” by Hattie and Shirley on January 13th at
the Hickory Corner Library at 7:30 p.m.
This is a timely and necessary subject as we, our
parents, friends, and partners age and face the issues of
aging with all of its concerns.
Please encourage friends, neighbors, and colleagues
to attend this worthy session.
Next
month is Black History Month, and there will be so many
activities and presentations competing for our attention.
Once again this year CJNBW will offer an entertaining
and educational program in February.
Also, we have begun to plan for Women’s History in
March, and then there will be the Woman of the Year
celebration in the spring!
Such a full Calendar!
At
our monthly meeting next week, in addition to the
presentation, we will give all members an update of our
plans for the year. May you have joy in this new year, my sisters,
Always,
Noreen
