Hello Friends, so very happy to see the sunshine this morning!!! I hope you have found a copy of our newest book, "Tomorrow Will Be Different", Love, loss and the fight for Trans equality, by Sarah McBride. Let's read the introduction by President Joe Biden and the first 2 chapters. If you need a book or have questions let Diana DeKorte or Barb Huitema know. Busy month with lots to catch up on. Heads up on" get to know you" question--I asked this at our senior center Bible Study--John the Baptist was most likely an only child and the Bible says Jesus had siblings--What do you think about being an only child verses part of a family, with siblings?? Talk about your siblings--what do you think? Remember Marilyn Gillette's family as they travel to Michigan this week. Looking forward to "seeing " you all. Stay safe and stay warm--blessings to you all. Barb
