Spring has definitely arrived along with those awesome allergies. The plants I planted awhile back are blooming may say I obsessed with my yard. I feed my plants as well as water them. I pull the weeds and they come back twice as fast and they bring some weed friends with them too.

 

Among my real flowers are artificial flowers and assorted yard stakes including solar lights. I enjoy watching those buds open into beautiful flowers made by G-D.   The other thing that defines this time of year  for me is that baseball season is back. The crack of the bat, the cheers, peanuts and Cracker Jacks all make me happy.

 

There are also a few other Spring time things that happen in Women’s League that make me happy.  First is Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day) which occurs on Thursday May 1. Women’s League invites you to celebrate with us on Saturday May 3 with an extended Kiddish and a variety of  new foods. We will prepare many Israeli inspired dishes from dips to salads to desserts. If you plan on joining us on May 3 please RSVP to the office by April 29th.. We want to make sure we have plenty of food for everyone.

 

As the month progresses we have Mother’s Day on May 11 and Memorial Day Weekend May 24-27.  Behind the scenes in May we will be working on the Todah Rabah Luncheon  held on Sunday, June 8th at noon.  This is our annual luncheon where we honor our women, announce Woman of the Year, and raffle off some great prizes all while we enjoy some  fabulous food at Mama Cozzza’s.  We will also discharge our old board and install our new board.

 

After 4 years I will be getting discharged as President. It was a bittersweet decision that I made so I can spend more time with William. Coming to this group, that I prefer to call Sisterhood (because we are)  has given me so much. I will remain on the board in another position giving all that I can give. 

 

 I am sure we will continue to thrive and like my garden, the seeds that were planted long long ago have deep roots. As we continue to water and feed them those buds will again open up to beautiful flowers.
