November!! This month is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons. One, we finally get some cooler weather and walking is again a real treat, something to be thankful for. And two, we are entering my very favorite time of the year, a wonderful season of thankfulness!!
I enjoyed seeing many of you at the recent Annual Meeting, and those in attendance heard some wonderful stories and reasons for being thankful.
I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the retiring committee chairs and Steering Committee members and welcome to the incoming leadership.
This is also the perfect time to ask each of you to please take a moment to read the new 2019–2020 Calendar of Educational events and sign up to enjoy at least one of our great offerings.
I would like to close with a small portion of Maureen Pashke’s presentation at our recent annual meeting.
“In my life, I HAVE lived paycheck to paycheck,
BUT…
I’ve never had to choose between paying for prescription drugs or buying food.
I’ve never had to choose between feeding my pet or myself
I’ve never HAD to rely on public transportation.
I’ve never had a job that had NO PAID sick days.
Bottom line, I have NEVER been trapped in the cycle of female poverty.”
We have so much to be thankful for. If you are not already a member please join us! if you are now is the time to renew. You can also make a gift in honor or memory of someone and help us even more in this season of thankfulness. Thank you for all you do for WGA and the women and girls of our great community!
Mary
