Message from Our President

Hi Ladies,

This is a great time of the year to reflect on how thankful I am for my family, friends, and health. Everyone is planning for the holidays and looking forward to the new year. The board met this week to plan our meetings for 2021. We are ready to meet in person or zoom if needed.

Our next meeting will be held on December 17th at El Paso restaurant in Mandeville. We will start the meeting at 11:30am, and members or guests will be ask to email if they will attend. You will be responsible for paying for your lunch. Please join us for games, recognizing our Community Partners and catching up with friends.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Thank You,
Julie Taylor
President

News from Lise Naccari

CBIB, Compassionate Burials for Indigent Babies, is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2007 to provide dignified burials for abandoned or indigent babies in our area. Our dedicated team assists in the funerals and burials of the babies, bringing comfort and closure to their families. We have buried almost 200 babies - our most recent burial was a victim of Covid-19. As we all know, funerals can be expensive. Even a small donation would be appreciated so we can continue our mission. Please check out our website: http://www.cbibinc.com/ for additional information.e. Be sure to make the articles short and concise as people tend not to read much more than a couple of paragraphs. Place article copy here.
