President's Message September 2023

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
We all know the saying "Time flies when you’re having fun" but is it really September?
Our recent meetings and activities have included excellent speakers and time to connect over some very good food including the refreshments at our mini fundraisers.
Our spiritual advising "bench" each add to dinner gatherings. Thanks to Fr. John Sims Baker and Sr. Mary Peter Muelenkamp.
I intend to update our list of member businesses and make them prominent through the League's publicity efforts. You can review our existing, short list and use the form here to identify your business. And yes, we have new members who need to feel welcomed and supported.
When we meet on September 20th we'll also be finalizing details an sponsorships for Pearls of Wisdom on Friday, October 6th. Now is the time to be on a creative scavenger hunt to maximize the donations at this fun event. And, please don’t forget to register.
Our Diocesan leadership and the three high schools plan to attend and support this evening for girls' Catholic education.
As always, thanks to all who are already updating their own memberships, finding auction items, volunteering time and attending meetings.
Please contact our event co-chairs Lauren and Courtney this month to share your treasures and talents: Lauren.Barca@gmail.com and Conklinrealestate@yahoo.com.
"See You in September".
Respectfully,
Claudia Weber
