GREETINGS, and HAPPY NEW YEAR, to my fellow alumnae,

This year of 2023 is one that I must look back and appreciate the many blessings that we have received before coming to this moment. We thank God that we have been able to endure the hardships along with the physical, mental and emotional pain that was inflicted by the COVID 19 virus. While we are living in the midst of not being totally free of this virus it continues to linger as others present themselves, such as, the FLU, and the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).

It brings me to a New Year resolution of being kind and caring not only for self but also to others. As we continue to age chronologically, much admiration is given to the members of our CHSNAA who have remained committed to the organization and continue to maintain a loving sisterly relationship with the alumnae throughout the years.

I and We THANK YOU! We are blessed that our Association remains viable and will be in existence for 82 years in March of 2023.

As you know we celebrated our 20th Biennial Reunion virtually, October 8, 2022 and it was a highly successful reunion according to the Survey Evaluation completed by participants. The survey also showed a high number of alumnae willing to serve on committees to support the continuation our Alumnae Association. Our members will be asked this year to live up to this commitment.

We know that it will take active participation from all of our alumnae if we desire to maintain and continue the longevity of our organization. Our recently approved 2022 Bylaws and Standing Rules give guideline and purpose of what CHSNAA is about and the challenges we may face in this New Year.

So as we move forward this year, singular and collectively, I desire to share my favorite Bible verse with you, Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD which made heaven and earth…

May God give us health, strength and a joyous New Year 2023.

May God Bless.
