A message from Roslyn Waechter, President of PFHC
I'm pleased to announce my return from a 3-months sabbatical and shall be at the Speaker Meeting in May and hope that you, too, will be in attendance so that I may thank you personally for your support by way of cards, messages and prayers.
I also wish to thank our office staff, along with other members of the Board of Directors, for carrying out so capably all of the duties that go into the daily operation of this organization.
That our third Friday Guest Speaker Meetings were maintained during my absence is especially gratifying, and other noteworthy speakers and worthwhile educational programs will continue in the months ahead.
Looking forward to seeing you in May.
