Well I must say our pot luck dinner was amazing... I would like to thank our family member for sharing her beautiful beach home with us. Food was good company was perfect. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did, I hope we will continue to get stronger and embrace others with support we all deserve. Thank You for all of your contribution.
I am looking forward to our meeting on July 19th, 2011 were will have a presentation about our Awareness Campaign "Flying for Families". Our pilot and co pilot will recapture the event beginning to end, to allow us to see this journey with all their experiences.
Hope everyone is finding themselves enjoying their summer, one thing I don’t want anyone to forget is the importance of Self-Care here is an interesting thing I came across and wanted to share with you all that might help with your self-care.
