2019 - Notes #23, 24, and 25

It's time for another three-note post. I will make no apologies for the delay in sending one note per week. The month of June has been filled with unanticipated news, travel, and events.

I've been a P.E.O. since 1983. Over the past 36 years, strong relationships have developed and been maintained as a result of my participation in this organization that focuses on philanthropy and education for women. Note #23 is written to a long-time P.E.O. sister. Connie just observed 60 years of P.E.O. Sisterhood.

Dear Connie,

Congratulations on being a 60-year member of P.E.O. I remember attending many meetings in your home. Fresh flowers always graced the rooms and delicious desserts were served on delicate, beautiful china. It's fun to look back on simpler times and recall special memories of P.E.O. I am proud to be your P.E.O. sister.

I've mentioned my mom's neighbors and close friends in previous posts. As she currently faces some medical challenges, they have stepped up to support her even more. The next note is written to her next-door neighbor, Dee.

Dear Dee,

Just a quick note to say thanks for everything you do for my mom. She was absolutely thrilled to receive the "special" Blizzard! She also loves your frequent visits and shares your interest in Husker sports. Thanks for watering her flowers and I hope you nurture some tomatoes, too.

I'm truly grateful for all the support and friendship you shower on my mom. Thank you.

I recently celebrated my birthday on a day we hosted a threat assessment training for teachers, administrators, mental health practitioners, and law enforcement. Note #25 is written to Jolene, who surprised me by bringing a large birthday cake to the event.

Dear Jolene,

You definitely made my birthday a day to remember! The cake was a fantastic surprise and everyone at the training enjoyed this delicious treat.

Thanks also for your passionate dedication to Nebraska schools. Because of your leadership and support, our schools are safer and more secure. I look forward to working with you again during the coming school year.

Jill
