Dear Friends,

This year was a year of setting goals, creating a plan, and expanding initiatives. So we determined our goals, we reconfigured our business plan by adding new initiatives with concrete tasks marking our progress. Each initiative involved specific responsibilities that were assigned to specific people, with start dates and end dates. And we tracked these goals and followed through on them. Our chapter was fully committed and met our challenges. I am so proud of our chapter for their dedication, generosity and support. (See our accomplishments in this newsletter).

I would like to thank the Executive Board, committee chairs and our members for making this a successful year. Without you, all that we achieved would not have been possible.

I ask for you to attend this month’s dinner/meeting on Tuesday, June 20th, at the Staaten at 6:30 PM, when we are inducting 2017-2018 officers. They are volunteering their time to help lead our chapter, and deserve our support. Theresa Fazzolari, Past President of New York State Women, Inc., will be attending to install the new officers.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Christine Olivieri Donahue,
President
