October, 2017

Hello, sisters,

I hope this finds you all well in our official autumn season. October is the month of the Holy Rosary and with the many friends and family we've lost this year plus the heartbreaking tragedies that keep occurring we should all lean a little more on Our Mother by praying extra rosaries. October is also a month filled with many fun, joyous events that lead into the holiday season. We're all looking forward to the Charity Ball next weekend, honoring Maureen and Mike Kelly. It has been suggested that we include some presentations/information at our monthly meetings. We will have a presentation about receiving "degrees" and the Degree Team by Mary O'Connell at this meeting. If you have anything to present or any requests please let me know. I look forward to seeing everyone at our meeting or an upcoming event soon.

In motto,

Colleen
