I am excited to begin my third year as a member of Las Candalistas.  After retiring from almost 38 years of teaching in 2019, I was looking for ways to fill my newly found free time. I was invited to join this amazing group of women who dedicate themselves to serving children and the environment in our local community. It was the perfect fit!!! I am grateful for all the lovely, caring women I have met, and continue to meet. I am honored and thrilled to be the 1^st V.P. pf Philanthropy this year and to share this position with Kathy Black. I know that we will have a wonderful year.
