NEXT LCRTA LUNCHEON
TUESDAY, May 20, 2025 at Highland Meadows Golf Club Luncheon details now available via the SLATE Newsletter link located to the left FROM OUR PRESIDENT--Susan Santoro
“Today, sadness and mourning give way to joy, celebration, and praise” - Pope Francis “We hope that it will be a great moment of unity for the French people, for guests from all over the world and for spectators from all over the world. Notre Dame de Paris unites. There are so many divisive factors. An event like this must unite, must help concord and peace to grow throughout the world.” – Philippe Jost, Renovation Chief These remarks were made in December 2024 when Notre Dame Cathedral was reopened after the destructive fire of 2019. I was blessed to recently visit Notre Dame, and it was such an emotional and hopeful occasion. I was surrounded by people from all over the world, quietly speaking dozens of languages. The interior of Notre Dame is so much lighter than my past visits. The spectacular stained-glass windows are so much brighter and more brilliant than in the past. We all remember the awful days in 2019 when we watched Notre Dame burn and many parts of the magnificent cathedral collapse. Who could imagine that it would be restored in five years and that visitors and worshippers would be flocking inside once again. I want to also share a favorite short poem of mine from Emily Dickenson. “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.” I extend a warm welcome to our newest board member and recording secretary – Debbi Alexander. Thank you, Debbi for stepping up to serve LCRTA. I hope to see MANY of you at our last luncheon until Fall – Tuesday, May 20th at Noon at Highland Meadows Golf Club. Please consider inviting a friend who has never been to one of our luncheons! |
