FAMILY MEMO #11
Week Ending Nov. 14, 2008
“Understanding human needs is half the job of meeting them.”—Adlai Stevenson
“I wish to publicly acknowledge the generosity of the Lubin and Steven
families who hosted seventh grade and eighth grade parents and teachers
this past weekend. Taking time out from their busy lives to welcome us
into their beautiful homes, they made it possible for many of us to
become better acquainted. I also thank the class parents, Linda Gans, Robbin Jordan and Joanne Agresti,
for organizing the events, purchasing paper goods, wine, foods trays
and much more, and we thank everyone who brought the delicious culinary
delights to share. It was lovely seeing so many of you. Thank you
for attending. ” --Suellen Newman.
