Dear Sisters,
Many of us are celebrating Christmas, Hanukah, and other special winter holidays! How great it is to make all of the preparations- house decorating, baking, and all the other fun activities –and to remember all of our family traditions and past good times.
We in Alpha Delta Kappa Mexico will miss celebrating this season together with the beautiful decorations, turkey, fruitcake, eggnog (yummy!), the music galore from Mama Perla’s heartwarming concerts and the good times as in years past.
This year we cannot gather together but we can laugh, smile, be kind, call someone and bless many.
The year 2020 has been a sad and difficult one for many of us, some with temporary setbacks and others with permanent losses or changes that have left holes in their lives. Although this has been a hard year, let this also be the time to explore new options, review our infinite possibilities and start to innovate.
We do hope 2021 will be a better year and wish that soon we can get together and celebrate life once again.
Wishing You Happy Holidays and a Blessed New Year!
¡Abrazos Fuertes!
