 Holiday Greetings from the Council Director
It's hard to believe that, as of this writing, there are only 19 days left till 2012. I know, it makes me kind of sad too!
However, I'd like to take this opportunity to extend warm holiday wishes to each and every one of you!! Keep in mind that the form of celebration does not matter, but the gift of loving and caring does. I know that each of our NJ associations make contributions in various forms through this holiday season. But, I also know that you will keep the spirit of giving in your hearts throughout the new year as well!
WOW! What a spectacular E Day! Many thanks to the members of Insurance Women of Mercer County for all their hard work to make the weekend a success. There are many congratulations to go round.
