Community -> Sisterhood

Though it was a challenging year for many, we hope that Sisterhood programs have helped make the year a little more fun, a little more
interesting and a little less lonely.   

It has been a pleasure to have worked with the current board and we thank them all for their contributions to making the year work for all of us. We are so proud that Sisterhood has accomplished much in this extraordinary year.
