Dear Members,

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays upon us it’s easy for all of us to get swept up in the festivities and lose sight of our many blessings.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count the many blessings we have. Suddenly the little things become frivolous when we realize how lucky and blessed we truly are. Thanksgiving is a special day that we pause and give thanks for those many blessings.
It is tradition for our chapter to share with those less fortunate. This year we are asking our members to participate by donating non-perishable items for the food pantries on Staten Island. We will also be participating with the South Shore Rotary’s preparation and delivery of Thanksgiving food baskets to those in need.
I would like to wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Let’s please remember all the blessings we each have in our lives, not only at this time of year, but throughout the year. I am thankful for the continued support from each of you, and the opportunity to get to know and work with so many wonderful women in this organization.

Thank you,

Margaret Antoniello 

President
