To My Dear Fellow Community Members: 

 

I am thinking about Our Community donating to the Hurricane recovery $2000.   We can afford the donation and the board has approved of the move.  What do you think?

 We are in the process of selecting a trustworthy partner and one where the executives are not receiving inflated salaries.   At the moment we are considering smaller, more local groups like The Houston Mayor's special recovery fund just set up and the Houston Food Bank

 We can talk about this Sunday or you may text me or Rosemary, or send an email.

 

Thanks, John

                "What are you girls having so much fun with?"

 

True?  

I’ve seen better days, but I’ve also seen worse.

I don’t have everything that I want, but I have all I need.

I woke up with some aches and pains, but I woke up.

My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed.
