The Finance Committee is looking for committee members. If you have an interest in money and helping our organization to raise funds, please contact me at finance@nfbpwc.org.

This year we would like to apply for grants. This is something that is not in my wheelhouse. So, we are looking for members who would be willing to provide advice or to assist in the effort of finding grants and then helping to write them. If you know of someone or you would like to help, please let me know.

Also, remember you can advertise in our eMagazine. If you are a member, you can place a quarter page ad for only $25.00. Even a full-page ad is only $85.00, a much better deal than the average for a magazine.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

On a more personal note, if you are interested in historical fiction, I would like to recommend a book entitled Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray. It is about Frances Perkins who was the first female cabinet member. She served as Secretary of Labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is an

incredible story of the work of one woman who has made an impact on all our lives.

I would also like to share something I saw on Facebook.

Six Little Stories with lots of Meanings

1. Once all the villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of the prayer, all the people gathered but only one boy came with an umbrella. That is faith.

2. When you throw babies into the air, they laugh because they know you will catch them. Thai is trust.

3. Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive in the morning, but still we set alarms to wake up. That is hope.

4. We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That is confidence.

5. We see the world suffering, but still, we get married and have children. That is love.

6. On an old man’s shirt was written a sentence “I am not 80 years old; I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience.” That is attitude.

Have a happy day and live your life like these six stores. Remember – Good friends are the rare jewels of life, difficult to find and impossible to replace!
