Dear DWC Members and Friends,Thank you for all who joined us for our April meeting. Josan Feathers gave an impactful presentation on the Cotton Wood Salt Mine, and Suzanne Morse, Founder of Heartfelt Voices United, outlined the importance of Denim Day and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Thank you to both speakers for your wonderful contributions to our Club!According to the Farmer's Almanac, May is named for the Roman goddess Maia, who oversaw the growth of plants. Maia was considered a nurturer and an earth goddess, so it's no surprise that May is her month. 💐 I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying the extra hours of sunlight and the hopeful blooms popping up all over our County. The last year has been a challenge but spring has come, and we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We have another fantastic program for you in this month. Tia Moore, the Academic Director of San Pasqual Academy, will be speaking about Foster Care Awareness Month, and Kenya Taylor will discuss Mental Health Awareness Month. We also recognize that May is both Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month. These communities have experienced increased threats over the last few years, and we stand with you in the fight against hate and for equity, accountability, and justice.
