MEMBERSHIP CHAIR MESSAGE "This is Us" BOARD MEMBER HIGHLIGHT Grace Belkin "This Southern Girl" Volume 28, Final Episode Can this Southern girl really be considered Southern? 20 years in the south followed by mega years in the north (actually 29) followed by 24.75 years here. I guess not! This is my last entry in this series....I am sad to see it go, but I must keep up with the times and look to the future.  With that thought in mind, and since it is election season "Harper for President 2044". Has a nice ring to it! V'sham'ru with gusto. Watch Harper every Friday night at services and see for yourself!  CLICK HERE TO EMAIL GRACE
