A message from your State Madam President Happy New Year Sisters! I am so looking forward to this New Year and wishing you all the very best. December started at the MEFRC Christmas party, a blast until I got a pie in the face. I couldn't make Durand because I was ill, and I'm sorry to have missed it. Hazel Park threw a Christmas sing-a-long, so much fun and they raised over $800 for the U of M Depression Center. Thank you all for your kindness, love and generosity! Coming up, and you are welcome to attend: Jan 21 st Lincoln Park Wild Child Fundraiser Theme is the 80's Dinner & Raffle; Jan 28 th Taylor #3138 State President's Charity Fundraise 4 pm till 10pm. Hope you can make it! If anyone would want to help me raise money for my charity, I now have an Authentic Gordie Howe autographed hockey puck in a display with certification. We are taking a deck of cards, letting a person pick a card, tear it in half, sign their name & phone number. $5.00 per chance or $20.00 for 5 cards. Drawing will be at the talent show at convention. I would appreciate the help! God Bless You All! Love, Linda Kaiser State Madam President 2016-2017 Happy, Happy Birthday to you!!
