Our Potluck and Service Pin celebration took place Monday June 3rd and was a great success. It was well attended and a truly enjoyable time for our members and guests. It was so nice to see the hall full and so many members gathered together for an evening of sisterhood and celebration.

Years of Service pins were handed out for years ranging from 5yr to 70yrs. A few members were unable to attend and their pins will be delivered in the coming weeks.

I'd like to thank all members for their continued support of the CWL. Whether you are an active member or simply support the League through your annual membership dues and your prayers – all levels of support are appreciated.

Enjoy the summer break! We'll gather again on September 10th and hear a speaker from Marillac Place tell us about this wonderful organization.

God Bless
Shani Pregelj, President St. Michael CWL
