PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Dear Sisters

Happy MOTHER'S DAY to all generations of  mothers.  Remember to pamper yourself especially on this day - you deserve it.

Our discussion  continues on the future of CJNBW, and it is our hope that a final decision is made by our June meeting.  We have finally completed the letter that will be mailed out to ladies who have been affiliated with the Network over the past years, plus some prospective new members.  We hope this effort will save CJNBW.  Two new ladies are trying to help us recruit members.

Once again, any suggestions would be welcomed.

We are now waiting to find out how many book awards/scholarship forms will be submitted.

Ordinarily, we would be electing new officers this month, but under the present circumstances, that process will have to be postponed until we know what direction we will be taking.

We'd love to have your input, and look forward to seeing you on May 12th at Hickory Corner Road Library.

Tuesday, May 5   -  No Steering Comm. Meeting at Twin Rivers Library is planned.  If there is a change, you will be notified.

Steering Committee Corner --
This Committee is made up of the officers of the Network. We meet at 7:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at the Twin Rivers Library, 276 Abbington Dr., E. Windsor, NJ., 609-443-1880. Any member can attend these meetings, if so desired.

TIPS for May, 2009

SALADS

To remove the core from a head of lettuce, hit the core end once against the counter top sharply.  The core will then twist out.  This prevents the brown spots that appear when you cut into lettuce.

To prevent soggy salads, place an inverted saucer in the bottom of the salad bowl.  The excess liquid drains off under the saucer ad the salad stays fresh and crisp.

Put cut-up salad greens or cole slaw in a metal bowl and place in freezer for a few minutes.  The greens will arrive on the table in perky condition.

PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS
 IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS:

Our continued best wishes are sent to the following:  Louise's uncle; Kevin and Regina; Illean's brother, Bill, Lorna's mother, and Ruth's mother-in-law. Also Louise and Walter.

It is our intention to remember all who are ill, lost a loved one, and congratulate members and their families when achievements are made. However, you must let Lois know so mention can be made in the Newsletter.
