Hello Nune,


It has been such a busy summer and there is so much more to tell you about as we get ready for fall.


In this issue, I hope you will enjoy reading Buddy LaRosa's memories of our co-founder, Sister Blandina Segale, as we continue celebrating our 125th anniversary.


Coming up, we are so pleased to present our 3rd annual fundraising event, The Sharing Table, presented by Nehemiah Manufacturing! It will be held at ARCO (Price Hill Will - 3301 Price Avenue) on Thursday, September 15 from 6 to 9 p.m. Guest speaker, Dr. O'dell Owens, will be helping us celebrate community and raise awareness of childhood poverty. Registrations are now open - just click here!


We will also be celebrating our official 125th birthday in November; details are coming soon.


Finally, today is National Nonprofit Day! We would love for you to click the donation button below to make a donation to Santa Maria in celebration. Thank you for your support!
