"There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."
You are a great mother. Your children are not looking for the perfect mother. They are looking for their mom.
Everyday I see posts from friends on social media. Showing their perfect families, perfect children, perfect husband and marriages. But it’s all a mirage. You don’t see the screaming match that happened with the teenager that morning over phone usage, the fights at homework time, the disagreements about money, the differences on how we think a situation should have been handled.
That’s real life, not what they show on social media. If you feel like you’re failing, you’re not. Just put the phone down. The others are not killing it either, they struggle just like you. But no one wants to show that or see that. Take a break from social media and you’ll see what a great mother you are. Be present with your families, let them be present with you. You are a great mother. No one is perfect but if you try your best, and do what’s right, then you are perfectly imperfect, and that’s all anyone can ask.
I would like to thank Marty Fallon and everyone that came and helped with the Fran Sawicki Fundraiser Dinner. We were able to raise over $3000 for The Ronald McDonald House. What a wonderful night, with great food and fantastic prizes. Thank you to everyone that helped and donated a basket, those who helped setup, cleanup, sold raffle tickets, and thank you to Michelle Kesner who solicited and collected so many of the prizes.
I would like to thank whoever nominated me for Vice President. I really appreciate your thinking that I am doing an okay job! If I’m voted in in May, I hope to continue to do a good job, maybe even a great job! [☺️] I love this organization, I love our family! I am proud of this organization and am proud to call you all my friends and family!
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day. [🌸] [🌺]

Letter from our Vice President
Hello moms,
As I am writing this letter I can't believe the weather. We went from cold to warm to rainy. We have basically got 3 seasons in one month.
May is a couple of days away and I know it is a busy time of year. Tests, recitals, communion just to name a few. Moms take a breath, close your eyes and know you are a beautiful person and wonderful mom. Things will be ok. We got you.
I usually write about a mom of the month. To all of the moms of little ones, you rock. Days don't always go the way you planned. One minute your little one loves chicken nuggets and the next it is touching a French fry so they won't eat it. Pick your battles. They are only little for a short time.
Young school age moms, this is a great age because your still their hero. And they give such great extra hugs.
The next group of moms it is tough. Not yet teenagers but somehow you know nothing. Every now and then you may get a hug. Remember one thing, you are still their hero but beginning to spend their wings.
Teenager moms, you got this trust me. You definitely don't do anything right. But once again they are becoming their new self. And secret they actually need you more than you think. Watch that side eye or smile they give you. Even the eye rolling is a love sign.
Moms, life go by so fast and we all want to catch it and keep our children young. That is ok because who wouldn't want to keep their precious pride and joy with them forever.
Thank you to all the Chairpersons this past year. Your devotion does not go unnoticed. Thank you to all the members who help make this club a success.
Happy Mother's day
Happy Memorial day
Love and hugs,
Diana
President
