Message from Our President

Hi Ladies,

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall weather and starting to plan for the holiday season.

In our November meeting on November 18th, we will vote on our Community Partners and Board for 2022. We will also have a Thanksgiving luncheon during our regular meeting as a thank you to everyone for making this organization a great success. The cost is free to members and a $10 cost for guests.

Also, at our November meeting, we will collect supplies from the Community Partners' Wish List and place them in large boxes for wrapping at the meeting. Please be sure to take a look at their Wish List and bring whatever you can. If you cannot make it to the meeting, contact me for an alternate collection point.

Our Holiday Luncheon for December will be held at Cucina Cangemi in Mandeville from 11 am to 12:30 pm on December 16th. We will order lunch and give our Community Partners their remaining donations for the year.

We are looking forward to seeing you on November 18th. 


Your President,
Julie Taylor

November 18th Thank You Luncheon
& General Meeting
11 am (doors open at 10:30)
Benedict's Plantation
To thank our members for their support and perseverance through the past year, we are having a Thank You Luncheon during our November General Meeting. We hope all of our members and their guests can join us. Please let us know if you plan to attend through this short form. Guests are certainly welcome for a $10 contribution.

Per our tradition, we will all bring items that our 2021 Community Partners can use. Instead of wrapping each item, we will collect them all in pretty boxes to present. Their Wish List can be found on our Website or through this link.

Another important part of this meeting is voting on our 2022 Community Partners. We have five organizations nominated. Members will select four from the following area non-profit organizations.
We will hear a short presentation from each one, but you might want to check them out on their websites through the above links.

We will also vote on our 2022 Board Members and collect input on what type of Activities and Speakers you want the board to arrange for 2022.

Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center’s 50th Anniversary
Community giving and generosity has always fueled Mary Bird Cancer Center and this year marks not only 50 years of providing comprehensive care to cancer patients, but also 50 years of generous philanthropic support from individuals, corporations, schools, and many others.

These decades of giving have provided us with resources to surround each patient with the most comprehensive and individualized care available in the region.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center is hosting a special fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $50,000+ to support cancer patients and their families across the region.
