I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and hopefully a nice break from your regular schedules. I would also like to wish you all the best for 2009 – Happy New Year!
Our Auction for the YWCA Crossroads Shelter was very successful. Thanks to everyone who donated and those who opened their wallets to make the event a huge success! Special thanks to members Mary Carolyn Hart of Lazer Graphics and Wanda Clancy of PartyLite who provided all printed material for the auction and beautiful candles for our tables. I would also like the thank Lisa Hogan and Lia Evangelista our Social Directors who planned and executed a wonderful event. Truly an example of the power of our group to make positive change not only in business but for our community as well.
Our half-year membership is now available if you have business associates and friends who have been considering joining. Our speaker line up is very exciting and our year-end social is included in the membership and available to members only.
January is a time of new beginnings. We are starting ours with the Annual Health Fair. There will be booths related to all aspects of health for you to browse and our panel of 3 Doctors will be speaking on the virtues of Vitamin D.
