Talk about clear and concise communication!
(I wonder if it’s her car, his car - or belongs to someone else?)
Makes me think of chapter leaders…how do you get your members’ attention when you want them to take action?

She looked like my niece Alina…
How could that be? She’s just in high school!
Friday night we attended Alina’s high school musical “Bye Bye Birdie.”
Alina had a starring role as Rose Alvaraz - the amazing secretary in love with her boss who was too chicken to tell off his mother so he could marry her.

Yesterday I saw a car with an intriguing bumper sticker which said, “Well behaved women rarely make history.”
I wanted a photo to be able to share with you in my blog.

Unfortunately, the woman driving the car [...]

I was so proud.
One of the things I love about being involved is the opportunity to see volunteers grow dramatically - often very quickly!
Last night I saw a volunteer leader deliver a delightful five-minute review of her committee’s project impact to almost 100 people.

The puppets were colorful and clever.
Many attendees dressed in [...]

Is the week over yet?
Monday started out on a great note. Things worked like magic. I was pumped for the week ahead.
And Monday night I got the first call…
James’ long time family friend had passed.

How could a man be so mean?
Driving through downtown Chicago, I saw insult after insult about a woman named Sarah which seemed to come from a man she recently broke up with.
The first graffiti display clarified Sarah’s jeans did make look fat.
A few blocks later on a bus stop, the same writer proclaimed his mother never liked [...]
