Message from our State President (03/20/2020)
During these unprecedented times, like each of you, I am navigating the situation on a day-to-day basis. I'm following the recommended social distancing, which is unfortunately keeping me away from my grandchildren, shopping between 7am-9am , cleaning every closet and tackling a 2000 piece jigsaw . I am very grateful that I have not heard of any members or their families that have been diagnosed with the virus at this time. I sincerely hope and wish that you all stay healthy, please keep in touch with each other visit our face-book page , phone, face-time , email or revert to the old fashion way of writing a note. It is really important to reach out to those alone.
This year is the 200 anniversary of Florence Nightingale so i thought i would send you one of her quotes " The greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel". Florence Nightingale.

Home Cooked Meal for some of Denver's Homeless
Recently the Commonwealth Rose chapter made a meal, and served it, for the Women's Homeless Initiative's Monday night shelter at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral in Denver. The menu was cottage pie, salad, home made bread, and a chocolate layer pie along with a variety of sodas. We prepared food for 36: 25 overnight shelter guests and several overnight volunteers and there was not a crumb left! We had fun doing it and it was much appreciated by the homeless women and volunteers alike.
