Remembering our deceased Board Members at this special time of the year, and always:

December 23, 2023

Fellow Members,            

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our warmest holiday wishes. It's a wonderful time of the year as we gather with family and friends to celebrate this glorious season!

I share with you an Irish Blessing:

May peace and plenty be the first

to lift the latch on your door,

and happiness be guided to your home

by the candle of Christmas.

God's blessings and peace be yours

throughout this New Year.

You, our members, are the measure of our true value. We are thankful for your continued support and engagement. Our organization is especially blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers who make our programs and initiatives successful.

The Board sends its gratitude and wishes for Peace and Joy this holiday season and in the New Year.

Nollaig Shona Dhuit

Be merry,

Deanna

Deanna Conheeny
