Thank you for all you do for our events. I am amazed again and again how much you put your heart and soul into each. I'm having the best time and so appreciate this group exists. Speaking of soul, coming has made a huge difference for me -- getting out of the house, the emotional support, having fun things to look forward to, making new friends and stretching myself that 

"I can"

"Thank you, Jaye for all you do. Thank you for your dedication and selflessness, Thank you for the time you spend planning and organizing. Thank you for thinking of others and being quick with words of encouragement or praise. Thank you for the good times and lovely luncheons with new friends not so new. Thank you for bringing us together to bond in sisterhood. Thank you for giving women a place to share hopes and dreams, to compare notes and to support one another. Thank you for new ideas and new perspectives that come from your Lunch and Learns. Perhaps greatest of all is your contribution to the world. The flame of one candle, the glow in one or in one kind word or thought brings light into the darkness, My Dear, you have spread so much light. "
