23rd: General Meeting @ 1oam
Our general meetings are held in Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1416 Bolton Street (just off Silas Creek Parkway via the Bolton Street Exit) They give us the opportunity to welcome visitors, hear guest speakers, and discuss club business. All residences of Greater Winston-Salem are invited to attend.

This month’s speaker will be Jennifer Cannino, co-author of “Picking Cotton - Our Memoir of Injustice & Redemption”. She’s a resident of W-S and has appeared on 60 Minutes to tell her real-life story about being a victim of a terrible crime in her early 20s, her survival, her vow to put the man away forever. She had the opportunity to identify him, and he was sentenced to prison for the rest of his life. There was only one problem: he was innocent as DNA later proved it. Theirs is a powerful story of forgiveness and redemption. She has since become a speaker on judicial Reform, and the book has just been released in paperback. The meeting will also include an update on activities and board decisions, as well as our 50-50 raffle, coffee and conversation.

**And don't forget to bring your items to donate to the God's Open Hand Shelter, (a 501c3).

25th: Card Group @ 1pm
