Celebrating 20 years!!
MRC News
September 2026
The start of a new school year makes me wonder if our New Year Celebration should be September 1 since so many of us are “coming back from vacation to start anew”. Perhaps those that celebrate Rosh Hashanah (September 11th by the way) are right that September is a good month to celebrate start anew.
So we restart our work to build our strategic plan for the next many years. New opportunities for growth, new opportunities to join a commttee and contribute new ideas to keep our organization alive and healthy.
So we restart our training program, to keep us as volunteers ready and prepared. New topics for zoom and inperson meetings and new online opportunities.
So we restart our efforts to meet the residents of the communities we are part of through working with the community leaders and through presentations at fairs and group organizations.
And we restart the coming year with an invitation to you, the reader of this little note, to come join us.
