Message from our
Chair and Vice Chair
Dear Angels,
Our Angel community has had a tough month with losing our amazing Guardian Angel, Margaret. We were so very lucky to have her and lucky that she chose Angel Charity as her Charity to support. Her guidance and love have been a big part of why Angel has been so successful over the years. She was a mentor, a friend (she made everyone think they were her best friend) and truly an inspiration to many. As we finish up our 40th Anniversary year, we will think of Margaret and all that she has done and her support of all of us. She would want us all to “carry on the business of Angel” and remember her legacy.
Speaking of carrying on her legacy, The Angel Ball is coming to culminate all that we have worked for this year! The fall has been such a whirlwind with our beautiful Poker Party and now we have the Ball approaching to recap off our year. We look forward to seeing everyone and giving tribute to all of our past leaders at this amazing wintery 40th year Ball.
Thank you so much for being a part of our Angel team and helping us on this fantastic journey.
With Love & Gratitude,
Karen & Jill

The October "HALOS & HIGHBALLS" was a huge success!
SIXTY friendly faces were in attendance. We met at PASTICHE and enjoyed conversation, light snacks and some good social time together. Most of those in attendance went home with a small hand painted silver or gold pumpkin. This was the last "Halos and Highballs" event for 2022.
Much thanks to Pastiche for the great accommodations, friendly staff and to all the ANGELS that make this such fun several times throughout the year.
