Spring has arrived! The flowers are blooming and it’s beginning to warm up here in Southeast Texas. This season is an exciting time for the league as we look back over all that has been accomplished throughout the past year AND set our sights on the special events still to come!
Mark your calendars for April 12th and plan to participate in the Healthy Family Days event at Parkdale Mall from 10-2 PM.We will have a booth showcasing our successful Kids in the Kitchen program. Alea Greer and her team did a fabulous job presenting the program and working with the kids at the YMCA.
Show your support and attend the Gourmet Kitchen Tour on April 13th from 12-4 PM. This is a really fun event that you will want to invite your friends and family too! Mandy Mazzola (cookbook chair) and her committe have been working hard all year promoting our cookbook.
I want to thank everyone who participated in the ‘painting’ project for the Habitat for Humanity home. As you know, initially we were assigned a landscaping project, but when it fell behind schedule we were asked to pain the house instead. I appreciate everyone’s flexibility and coming together for this great cause!
The Sustainer Tea was a huge success with over 30 women enjoying Sharen Kirksey’s beautiful home! Julie Richardson organized the event and, as always, everything was wonderful. Sharen was the perfect hostess the food and flowers were fabulous! Martha Sue Jones talked about the cookbook, the upcoming party and the kitchen tour. Some cookbooks were sold at the tea as well.
I certainly don’t want to neglect saying Thank You to the DIAD workers at this time. Their projects go on year round and I appreciate all that they do for our community! Take a bow, ladies!
Life is an adventure. I look at life and notice all the opportunities and I realize it is up to us to take advantage and act upon things that come our way. Eleanor Roosevelt says it better “I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”
I want to thank each of you for choosing to participate in the projects provided by the league. You come month after month, year after year with an attitude that is both positive and willing and it makes such a difference in the outcome! Someone once said “A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.” Let’s continue our adventure together as we move into Spring!
Blessings,
Mary Sue
