April 27 - Monday – What You’ve Always Wanted to Know about

Manners & Proper Etiquette

Ann Edenfield Sweet, Wings Executive Director

Have you ever wondered if you were using ‘proper manners’? Questioned where you should put your napkin or what fork to use? How to butter your roll or cut your steak? Come and review table manners, learn about ‘conversation starters’, and review proper etiquette. The 5^th annual Spring for Wings Fundraising Banquet will be held on Saturday, May 2, 5:00 pm at Central United Methodist Church. (Reservations are still being taken.) Everyone can use a quick review of TABLE MANNERS and we want everyone to be comfortable at our banquet, the prom, graduation, a wedding, or your next family gathering. Youth and adult volunteers will be servers and we will review serving tips at Wings for L.I.F.E. too. Bring your whole family so you all learn manners together!

April 20 - Monday – Suicide Prevention

In 2007, 19.3% of New Mexican high school students admitted seriously considering suicide. Being incarcerated or having a loved who is incarcerated can put someone at an increased risk for attempting suicide. But did you know that 90% of the people who attempt suicide have a diagnosable mental health issue? Learn the warning signs and find out how you can help friends and loved ones. Sabrina Strong, Chair of the NM Suicide Prevention Coalition and Joan Murphy will discuss this difficult, but important issue. If you want a little exercise before the meeting, come about 5:15 and we’ll do some walking in the neighborhood before dinner.
