BASILEUS CORNER
NOVEMBER
Greetings Sorors: I am thankful and blessed to be surrounded by God’s love, my family and wonderful supportive Sorors. What are you thankful for? As we approach Thanksgiving and the holiday season, count your many blessings! We are blessed to have our life, health and strength. Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings (W.A. Ward). How true this saying is! With Thanksgiving around the corner, let’s take the opportunity to honor each other for the work we have done this year. Please bring a thank you note for a soror you would like to acknowledge to the November chapter meeting.
Soror Carolyn Flemister-Bell
