November Meeting
With Thanksgiving approaching we have many reasons to be thankful this year. As part of giving back to our community, we are asking our members to bring a jar of peanut butter to the November meeting! Why is that?
Heights Interfaith Ministries (HIM) Food Pantry is in need of peanut butter to give out with their weekly food parcels. For months since the Pandemic, HIM has been in serious need of some basic food items. Help us restock their shelves by bringing a jar or two. If you forget, we will also be taking up a cash collection at the meeting to help restock the food pantry shelves.

Heritage Group members attired in their best witches hats and fascinators descended ghoulishly from their brooms into the clubhouse for the October Meeting.
Our featured guest speaker Alli Jarrett, "Hospitality Alli" of Harold's on 19th Street regaled us with many personable anecdotes. On a more serious note: Alli confirmed that like many others, Heights businesses are not immune to the ongoing pandemic challenges of supply chain shortages and staffing issues. One hopes a respite awaits in the near future for all involved.
Thank-you to our entire October Hospitality Team led by Linda Navarro, Hospitality Coordinator with Karen Adams, Dena Honeycutt and Anne Sloan for the gorgeous table décor and stylish floral arrangements attractively displayed in elegant vintage vases loaned by Lovejoy's Antiques on Yale. Sweet thanks also goes out to the bakers who baked, decorated and lovingly packaged individual portions of goblin's treats for all to enjoy!
