What’s Happening in our Different Areas!
La Canada: Lois Johnson (she played the violin during lunch at the gala) will speak at our local meeting here. She has agreed and I just need to set a time. She is a great mother, has 5 amazing children, the 4th of which is leaving soon to serve as a missionary. She is losing her eyesight but continues to lead the choir, cook, travel and be very involved in her children's lives. She also volunteers taking suicide crisis calls. Time and location to be announced. Dorothy DeVore
LaVerne, Glendora, San Dimas, West Covina and Covina: We had a neighborhood meeting where my husband spoke about each home being prepared for a minimum of 3 weeks to 3 months in the event of an emergency. He then announced me, Renee Starr, as Mother of the Year and asked me to speak. I told them that one of my neighborhood projects is humanitarian aid for distressed babies at L.A. County Hospital starting next month at my house. People are wanting to help and are wanting to donate material. I need flannel, but I will take what ever I can get at first. Eventually I can pass on cotton fabric if any other chapters could use that. Fliers sent out to neighborhoods regarding needed things are a great way to supply each chapter with what they need. People really want to donate. I asked for material, thread, yarn, newborn onsies and sleepers, new or barely used. I'm getting excited. Please share that with the other chapters. A meeting is also planned on June 20th. We’ve asked Bev Nelson to introduce CAAMI to those who are interested in joining. Time and location to be announced. Renee Starr
