President’s Message

August and September

Dear Sisters,

I would like to thank Nita and her officers for a wonderful job. I am excited and feel very confident for a good year ahead because of the support of our officers and members. We will continue to do what this institute does best: sharing, caring, and giving to our charities, our institute programs, our parish, and our community with sisterly love. I humbly ask for your guidance as I begin this journey as your president. God was with the sisters who attended the Convention in Fresno. They had fun, took care of business, and returned safely.

Congratulations to June McJunkin, Grand 2nd Vice President! Ladies...we did it!

God bless you and and stay cool in the heat of August.

Installation of Officers

Thank you to Luci Fisher and her committee for the special care taken at our potluck and installation of officers. The food was delicious, the patriotic theme easily adapted, and the socializing of our members was superb. Special thanks to Kathy Borlik, our Institute Deputy and her Installation Team. Luci, you had an awesome clean up team. Again, thanks to all who made the evening a great success.

Thank you!

Perpetual Novena

This novena is offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of all members of Young Ladies' Institute. It is one of our practices that immediately benefits all members. Each week three members are assigned the Perpetual Novena - prayers for our members. It continues throughout the year. Each member usually has to do this novena twice a year. Of course, some choose to do it daily. Remember to keep your Novena pamphlet in a safe place so you have it available when you receive your assigned dates for the novena. Call Mary Basterrechea if you have questions.

"Must Be Present" Drawing
Ladies, you could win $5.00 at the Business meeting. Yes! Les Collier did just that! Something new and exciting! A name is drawn at the business meeting. If that person is present she wins $5.00. Her name goes back into the drawing for the next meeting. Prize money accumulates if the name drawn is not at the meeting. FABULOUS!
