The Bedford Elsa Lioness meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month from Sept. to June for our dinner meetings, where we always have great food. And we meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month for our board meetings.
Well, another year has come to an end and our new board of directors consists of some old and some new. And this year I hope that we will again have a fun new year with many great projects and be able to help others who need a helping hand. We do love to see all the smiling faces and thankful hearts of those we can help and be with during our projects. We are grateful to our giving community and our members who work hard so that we are able to touch so many lives.
We are saddened with the loss of two of our members in January. Each of them were very dedicated to their clubs and they will be greatly missed by us all.
We look forward to working with our new District Governor, Barbara Treichel. I have talked with her several times and she is an inspiration for us to follow.
Marcia Audette, President Bedford Elsa Lioness
