· Condiments, paper plates, forks, cups, napkins, etc., are bought using money from our treasury. Again, donations of any of these items would be appreciated.

Treasury

As noted above, we are a non-profit organization, and depend on our members to support our functions for the year. We raise money for operating costs by selling tickets to our special functions, from donations, and our raffles. The proceeds are used to help defray the costs of the functions and to enable us to operate throughout the year.

Angel Stories

Angels are encouraged to write their story for our monthly newsletter. Please share your story, as you could be the encouragement someone needs. Please send in a before and after picture. The pictures print better if the background is light, and the person alone in the picture. We are also asking angels to share their story on our website. Permission slips are available at our monthly meetings.


Guests and Speakers

As always, we try to have informative meetings each month. We are interested in knowing what topics and speakers you would like to see. Suggestions are always welcome.
