Message from Nina Newton, President
Season's Greetings Smithites,
Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays! What a season! It all seemed to come so fast and soon 2020 will be no more!
It is my hope that you are having a safe, healthy and joyous holiday. This Pandemic has changed so much for us all with limited travel, social distancing, self-quarantine, and re-created traditions in a Zoom-like way for milestone birthdays, family gatherings, weddings, etc. So different, but let's remain grateful, obedient, and safe. Take some time to reflect, treat yourself good, relax, and check on someone else.
Smithites, let me please take this time to thank you for an amazing month of December with our successful Coat Drive Collection of over 100 coats for elementary children at Charles Drew Elementary in Washington, DC; a good ole' time at the Holly Jolly Happy Hour; and saying hello in a safe way to some of our Seasoned Alumni Members with holiday treats and balloons. Pictures are soon to come! We also want to keep members in our midst that are having a hard time this holiday season due to loss of love ones, surgeries, illnesses, hardship. Let us keep them all in our thoughts and prayers.
I look forward to seeing you all in 2021 at our first Chapter Meeting of the year, Saturday, January 9th! Be safe, be healthy and continue to hold High the Gold and Blue! Happy New Year!
In Gratitude,
Nina Newton, Chapter President
