We were fortunate enough to have one of our scholarship winners in attendance. Loren Lozano is a rising sophomore at New York University, majoring in economics. She graciously thanked the CEC for the help we're providing.
Our guest speaker was Roxanne Mendoza Johnson, Director of Shelters at HONOR. She mentioned the great need for toiletries and clothing, and inspired our members to go through their closets when they got home and see what they could offer to help.
The raffle prizes were much coveted. Hannaford Supermarkets gave items for a spa basket. One of our most talented members donated beautiful hand knit items, and another a tower of paper and pens. The raffle raised over $170.00 for the CEC.
As always, the food at John's Harvest Inn was delicious and the setting warm and inviting.
All meetings should be so nice!
