Full Circle of Living and Dying:

What is an End-of-Life Doula?

Please join us this Wednesday 11/13 for a unique program brought to us by Vice-President Jeanne. Here is what she has to say;

I realize Death is something we don't like to think about, but I would rather be prepared, and know there is help when faced with difficult news, please don't miss this program. Our speakers, Akhila Murphy and Kathryn Colburn are professional educated, compassionate women

Help Spread the Word About our Club!

We are doing a fall public awareness campaign to let our community know more about our work, hoping to recruit new potential members and give out information about our golf tournament fundraiser. Sign up for a shift in November or December of just 2 hours and tell people all about us!

Click here to sign up for Paint and Sip!

Bring a friend, have a super fun lunch while painting something cute and help our club raise much needed funds for our internal expenses! We are counting on our members to make this terrific event a success.

The bar will be open and it will be a judgement free zone, so don't worry if you aren't artistic- this is all for fun. You can always use the painting for a white elephant gift at a holiday party, if you aren't happy with the results!

Contact Amy Louis if you have questions.
