Dear Today's Woman Member, I hope this newsletter finds you all well. I can't believe 2008 is just a couple weeks away. I'm sure that you are all busy getting ready for Christmas. In case you all have been wondering where I am, I provide respite care and have a little girl staying with me while her Mommy is on a much needed Vacation.

You may be wondering where the new site is that we have been talking about? Well I promise you that it will be here in the new year.

I thank you all for your donations, support and patience!
