“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:16, 18-19 NIV

It should be fun since it's our first dinner meeting since the election! 

Hope to see you there!

No meeting - December 2016

Since December is a busy month for everyone, there will be no 9-12 get together.  Now that a Clinton is not in the White House (again), we can breathe a sigh of relief and look to the future without the dread of the past 8 years. 

We will get back to a normal schedule in January.

Happy Thanksgiving

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone!

Please join Western Westmoreland 9.12 members at King's, for lively conversation. Although there will be no speakers at this meeting, it will be enjoyable to discuss our current political environment. Any suggestions? Post comments: Click on the title of this post and leave a comment, which will appear after being filtered (called "moderated"). Or tell us at the meeting! Guests are always welcome!

The photographer, my son Daniel Ritchie, left a healthy treat for this homeless person*

Well, maybe you would or wouldn't invite this person, but we should remember to help people who are having problems! For example, if you will bring some useful objects to the meeting, I (Sara) will take them to a homeless shelter, Welcome Home (here's a 2013 article about them), which includes:

Coming to the rescue of the homeless all year round, the organization in Greensburg provides emergency shelter for families and single women for up to 60 days.“People need emergency shelter for all sort of reasons, but it’s usually due to economic reasons,” Mrs. Burrik, house supervisor said. “About 70 percent of our clients are single mothers looking for work. Some are homeless due to a fire in their place of residence and some suffer from alcoholism, mental problems or drug addiction...We’re the only entity in Greensburg that provides shelter for families and women”...To enable its clients to get a fresh start, the shelter accepts all sorts of household items and furniture. Some of the most needed items are cribs, beds, couches and chairs, diapers, baby wipes and formula.

*  (Update: this was a staged charity event, with another son Pete Ritchie, posing as the lost soul, lol)!
