A Note from the Regent
Thanks to everyone for coming out for the first meeting of the year in January! The meeting was well attended and was very productive. To the amazement of many we covered a large amount of information in a relatively short time.
Maybe we all took our “Constructive and Productive” motto to heart! Speaking of hearts, February is a month for love. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, which means red roses, candy and maybe a nice romantic dinner, but also remember the exciting events we have coming up for the month.
Ladies, if you have not been to a meeting lately try coming and seeing what new things are being planned. The February meeting is on Fat Tuesday and we are celebrating with a Cajun supper.
I wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day and hope that you will be able to spend time with the ones you love.
Janey Schumacher

Prayer When I Can't Pray
I try to pray;
words don’t come.
I toss and turn
and feel nothing.
My mind is dry,
my heart is dull,
my soul longs
for life.
Hear my silent cry,
my God, hear me.
Let me not be
a shriveled reed
or an empty shell.
Breathe on me
and make me whole.
Give me passion
that I may love.
Then shall my tongue praise
your holy name
with words I do not yet know.
So be it.
- Vienna Cobb Anderson
