From the Coordinator

Good Morning Ladies,

Spring is upon us and it has never looked better.  We are installing our new board.  Coordinator Linda Donivan, Co-Coordinator Maureen Dickinson, Fundraising Coordinator Cynthia Lobb, Membership Coordinator Amy Ortiz, Treasurer Kelly Downey, Secretary TBD, Church Liaison Edith Archundia, Child Care Coordinator Myriam Thamer, and Hospitality Coordinator Georgina Mitchell. Thank you ladies for stepping up for the new 2013/2014 calendar year. 

This month’s topic is” Embracing Our Strengths”. Our guest speaker John Gabriele is the instructor and owner of West Coast Krav Maga.

Next month May is our Tea & Testimony with speaker and Mother & Others member Debbie Bertran. I hope you all will join us and bring a friend.  May is also our last meeting for the M&O calendar year and we will be finishing off the year with our Annual Fundraiser.  Tickets are still for sale!

I hope God has blessed you all.  Remember Mothers & Others is a group of women sharing their gifts with each other and I hope you will keep on doing so.

Sincerely & God Bless,

Davene Franklin.
