Wonderful news:
PDP Diana Ward's surgery went very well today. As a matter of fact, they also did the surgery they had planned to do on Monday morning. It won't be a walk in park for her recovery but steps are in place to start the process.
Please keep Diana in your prayers.
Several Auxiliaries do not have Audit reports in to the office. Please make sure that yours is, or will be, in the next few days.

Good morning , just wanted to talk about donations for a moment. We truly appreciate all the clothing donations we get , however we need to think about the sizes that get donated. Every week I get at least one request for larger sizes. 2XL, 3Xl and even 4Xl. And that seems to be the sizes that we never get enough of. So please if you donate clothing please consider donating some of the larger sizes. I also have noticed I’m getting requests for socks that are wider because a lot of the members have swollen feet. I don’t even know if they exist but if someone knows of any please let me know. Again thank you ,thank you for all you do!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
