We wrapped up May on a high note with two great events. On Saturday, May 22, several of our members were able to spend time wtih the residents of Brookdale Senior Living in Paradise Valley.  This is the second year that our chapter was able to provide some fun for the residents at this community. Sue Orzechowski organized the event with Brookdale, coordinated decor and logistics and chapter members.  Linda Brooks led the charge to make all the corsages and boutonnieres by hand for the residents. Jim Hannah provided the live music.  Several members attended to greet the residents, chat, dance and pin on the flowers.  This is such a fun event - thank you to everyone who helped make it happen again this year!
On Friday, May 21st, Kris Erickson and I attended Katie Biegel's Honors Assembly at Mountain View High School.  We were able to showcase our Chapter and give Katie a "big check" in front of parents, faculty and students.  What an amazing young woman and I can't wait to hear what college she selects. I know we are all hoping she goes on to win the EWI National scholarship!

I love EWI - as members we get to participate in many worthwhile, rewarding activities that change lives - whether those lives are our own or someone else's .  As things slow down for me at work, I have begun  re-organizing myself to be ready for busy season again in September.  Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to be lazy when you don't "have" to do something?!  Please read the article from Jim Mathis about Purpose-Driven Priorities - you'll love it!

Have a wonderful month!
