PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Dear Sisters:

First, I wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day on May 14th. I hope your family treats you like a “Queen for the Day” and that the special treatment carries over for many months, as you deserve it.

Our June 4th “Woman of the Year” and scholarship fund-raiser at the Ramada Inn is fast approaching and we should wrap up most of the loose ends at our May 2nd Steering Committee Meeting. Invitations have been mailed out and responses should be coming in real soon. Remember, if you have friends or family you’d like to invite, if they are not already on the mailing list, please let me
 

 

know and I will send out an invitation or you can make copies from your invitation.

Our April meeting was very informative and I thank Ruth for contacting Ms. Komosinsky of Capital Health Systems who spoke to us about obesity and how we can maintain healthy eating habits.

I’d like to thank Liston and Marty for their tireless help whenever the Network needs their assistance.

Enjoy this wonderful spring weather.

Joyce

TIPS

Showerhead:
To remove mineral deposits, remove the head if possible and soak in warm vinegar, or fill a plastic sandwich bag with vinegar, then wrap it around the showerhead and tie tightly with a rubber band. Allow it to sit overnight. Use an old toothbrush to scrub it clean. Poke with a pin or toothpick to clean the holes.
