Monthly Meeting –Mar 2016

Looks like Easter will arrive early this year, March

27th, so get your Easter hats ready!

Last month we enjoyed Sally Kaiser-Dyer, RN from

Loma Linda International Heart Institute. I believe

she gave us some great information about women

and heart health. I took this information very seri-

ously, since heart disease runs in my family. That’s

why when my friend Eliane Van Horn with Qivana,

asked me about being tested to see what my inter-

nal age was I said yes! Much to my surprise my in-

ternal age wasn’t much different than my age. I am

excited that she will be our speaker for March. She

will share about her product, and test 2-3 of our

members. The test is very simply with results within

a few minutes. I am working on detoxing myself

with Qivana Prime and Qore Dotox.

We had our 1st meeting at the Coco’s in Redlands; it

seems like everyone was happy and enjoyed the

food. I was happy to able to see everyone, and know

that the parking lot was well lite up for your walk to

your car. I spoke with the manager and we were

able to add ice tea, and vegie burgers. Your feed-

back is very important so please let me know if you

have any suggestions.

ABWA wine tasting on Sunday March 6th at the State

St Winery was again very successful. Faith had a

wonderful lite lunch and chocolate and it looked like

everyone had a great time. Thank you Faith, we will

have another in September this year. Ticket will go

on sale in June or July, Remember this is an easy

fundraiser for our scholarships.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Scholarship applications

are due at the at the March General meeting. Our

Fashion Show is just around the corner April 30th.

We also need donations for our door prizes. Please

see Faith or Connie. These ladies are working very

hard so again we have a very profitable event, since

this money helps us fund our scholarships. This year

Dress Barn in Redlands will be doing our fashions

and we are looking for models. Please see me if you

would like to model.

Don’t forget our meeting is at

the Coco’s in Redlands, and I

will see you there.

Susie

“Your Pathway to a Healthier Heart” in which she discussed

cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, warning signs

of a stroke, and cholesterol among other topics. It was a very

informative discussion.

2012-2013 VISION

Like a tapestry, as women and as mem-bers of ABWA, we keep coming togeth-er carrying the lessons and experience of our past as we seek to define our future together. Together we can and together we will.

INVOCATION Lord, in the quiet of this hour,

We come to Thee for wisdom and for

power,

To view Thy world through only

loved-filled eyes,

To grow in understanding, to be wise

And sure to see Thy guiding light;

and thus

To know each other as Thou knowest

us.

Amen

BENEDICTION

O Guiding Spirit, Guardian of our

days,

Be with us as we go our separate

ways.

Help us to feel those thoughts that lift

and bless,

To know a closer bond of friendliness;

To see Thy beauty always – every

day,

Translated into living – this we pray.

Amen
