FALL 2022 NEWSLETTER
President’s Message . . . Greetings to all. It has been a long hot summer for sure. Here in Florida, we know our high temperatures will hang around for September but something about turning that calendar to September 1 makes us all want to feel “Fall like”. For St. Catherine’s it means we start our monthly meetings again. Yay! We will bring out the Fall decorations for our meeting on September 12th at 10:30 in Trinity Hall. I do look forward to seeing you all there; we have a wonderful program planned with Sheryl Adams as our speaker. The St. Catherine’s board is providing lunch for everyone in celebration of us getting back together. We invite you to join us in the joy you will experience in meeting and being with ECW friends.
Peace be with you, Claudia Smith
