*** RECENT POST *** December 2011 Chiapas trip Every December I lead a small group in Chiapas. Linda and I went about 5 days early so we could have a meeting with Carmen and I could make sure the trip arrangements were in place. The group this year consisted of our own Mujeres’ director Mary Norton, Pat Gritman, Sandy and Jim Reed, Yvonne Starkey, Zanna Brock and Susanne McCoy, as well as Linda and me. |
*** RECENT POST *** WOW! Dazzling night for Mujeres Last night was our sixth annual Día de Muertos event….our most important event of the year. Despite stiff competition from other popular local events, we served 103 dinners and held our most successful auction yet. Board member Molly cooked and coordinated an excellent vegetarian Mexican dinner. The silent auction contained 82 items. Our live auction consisted of 6 very special items that were auctioned off and without doubt showcased our supporters’ generosity. |
