Hello! Since I broke a tooth (ouch!) I was unable to attend the Monday meeting at
2nd Presbyterian Church. I was told, though, that Myra gave a very powerful presentation on the ups and downs of 'coming home' A big thanks to her for sharing this difficult subject.

We never meet if there's a 5th Monday so I won't see you on the 29th. Be sure and attend the meeting that will be held on July 6th at the YMCA - 4901 Indian School Rd. NE. Believe me...it will be DELICIOUS! It all begins at 6 p.m.

Our trip to the Tent Rocks near Cochiti will be on Sat. the 18th. We truly hope you will be able to make it for this is going to be so much FUN!

On Monday, June 22, the WFL meeting will be held at the Second Presbyterian Church and will start at 6 pm with a free meal! Everyone is welcomed to attend. The speaker for the evening is Myra Wilson and she will discuss "Aftercare Can Make You or Break You". She's been there...done that...and will be speaking from her heart. This is a very important meeting and hope you can make it. (The church is located on the corner of Lomas & Edith, park on north side of church.)

Boy, did we learn a lot of ways on how to have fun this summer in Albuquerque and not spend much money! Jen shared many educational and family oriented ideas on things to do and where to go. Her handouts were very informative and hope to have some extras for next week's meeting at 2nd Presbyterian Church.

The meeting on Summer Food & Yum-yums was really yummy! Joy shared tips and secrets about her delicious guacamole dip and the final product didn't last long with our appreciative crowd. Usually our meetings end right at 7:30 pm but everyone was enjoying kitchen tidbits and the tasty delights that Ann and her son, Curtis, were serving up. It was almost 8 pm before the last morsel was eaten and the contented members left (full and happy!) It was Fun & Informative!

Did you make the WFL meeting on June 1? If not, you missed a powerful one. Ann Edenfield Sweet talked about coming home (from prison) and since she had a husband who came home she really knew what she was talking about.

The poignant moment was when a young man told his story of being incarcerated for 19 months and how and whhy he changed his life for the good. A young lady, who had been confined for 30 months, stood and told her story about coming home. They both agreed being caught was a good thing for it helped them to realize they had to change their life styles, and they did!

Our meeting coming up on June 8th is titled "summer Foods & Yum-Yums!" This will prove to be a 'delicious' meeting learning how to make Orange Julius and Fruit Slushes, guacamole, homemade treats that taste like Reece's Peanut Butter Cups plus many more yum-yums!
