Caregivers |
| |
Katherine Dreyer
Elizabeth Higgins
This is a great way to both celebrate and help a friend in need. We will
be helping friends within the Newcomers' Club adjust to a new baby, deal
with a loss or sickness or help out someone who may have lost their job.
We will provide some meals for a few days for the person or family. You
can cook yourself, buy from a restaurant or donate a gift certificate to
a "take out" restaurant. All of us have had either a new baby
or dealt with difficult times and taking away one stress is a great way
to give some TLC (tender loving care). If you are interested in being a
part of the Caregivers please contact Elizabeth Higgins. A list will be put together and you will get a call when needed.
If it is not a good time for you, we will just go to the next person on
the list and contact you at another time. If you know someone in the Club who could use some help please contact Katherine .You don't realize how something
so little can be so helpful! Hope to hear from you! |
Come Cook With Us |
| |
Pam Polack
Come join us if you love to cook, want to make new friends, or just need
a relaxed, kid-free evening. We make a new recipe each month and then get
to taste it without our kids or husbands comments. That way we can decide
if it's something that we would love to make at home for the family or something
we can do without. Our recipes range from very simple to sometimes complex,
but are always fun. We
meet on the second Wednesday of each month.
