Home Life ~ Spring is right around the corner, and with it, this year's Bunny Breakfast. It is scheduled for March 31 from 8-11 at St. Cecilia's. As this year's chair, I need your help to make this event a success. So far, Jen Nowak is chairing the kitchen, and Brenda Willard is chairing arts and crafts. I need people to create raffle baskets, be the bunny, sell tickets, get balloons, iron aprons, decorate on Friday night, serve food, bus tables, and publicize the event through the schools. If you can help, please contact me at wlachenmeyer@verizon.net. Thanks so much. Marie

A COLLECT FOR CLUBWOMEN 

Keep us, oh God, from pettiness; 
let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. 
Let us be done with fault-finding 
And leave off self-seeking. 
May we put away all pretense 
And meet each other face to face, 
Without self-pity and without prejudice. 
May we never be hasty in judgment 
and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; 
make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. 
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, 
straightforward and unafraid. 
Grant that we may realize it is 
The little things that create differences, 
That in the big things of life we are at one. 
And may we strive to touch and to know 
The great, common human heart of us all, 
And, oh Lord God, let us forget not 
To be kind! 

     
                                                   
                                              Many hands make light work!
