President's Message
Dear Ladies,
  So excited we are in our Spring Season. The Lady of the Year is approaching -- please make your reservation and wear you dancing shoes as we celebrate together. I want to thank Lina Fusco, VP and her committee chairs for selling out Designer Bag Bingo. In addition, I want to say thanks to our Retreat Sponsors, 24hr Bagel in Oceanside and Michael Balboa from Contour Mortgage for their generous food donations. This is our last meeting with our hospitality table. Let’s make it special and bring your delicious potluck donation. Please include a recipe card with your name to share. I look forward to seeing you at our April 2nd meeting at 7pm. I want to wish you and your family a Blessed Easter.

Vanessa Ambrosecchia,
