Hello Members & Future Members:

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Great New Year - We are all looking forward to a new year of education, fellowship and new opportunties!

What a great December meeting for our Community Action!  I want to thank all the members for their generous donations and contributions to Mary's Kitchen who provides daily meals, clothing and help in their pursuit to improve their situations.  Your contributions are helping them to find jobs as well as keep their self esteem.

Our January membership mixer and wine tasting was a huge success; and I want to thank John Ruiz of the Claims Education Panel for his help.  We installed two new members in January and have three more to install at our February 1st meeting, so be sure to be there!  Many, many thanks to our speaker,  Region VIII RVP, Kathleen Kerstenbeck.  She is truly an inspiration to us all.

We have many things to accomplish by the end of our fiscal year, so come find out what is in store for you.

In Fellowship,

Freeda Koopmans, President
