Thank you to Victoria Griffis, Community Liaison for Comfort Keepers- Berks County, for sharing valuable information to help us better plan for the care of our aging loved ones.

We were delighted to welcome 10 guests to today's meeting, including Jennifer Teller; owner of Comfort Keepers-Berks County who came out to support Victoria and our chapter.

And, of course, it wouldn't be a meeting without a selfie of all these fabulous superwomen, captured by the one and only Curin Romich!

Today we celebrated 20 years of the Peace Trust for Safe Berks.

Twenty years ago, Carolyn Holleran had a vision: survivors deserve services they can depend on, and those services need reliable, unrestricted funding to continue their important work. The Peace Trust was created to provide ongoing support for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence through the commitment of donors who give each year to help sustain these critical services.

It was especially wonderful to celebrate alongside so many members of ABWA – Women Excelling who are also Peace Trust members. Together, we are helping ensure that survivors have access to the support, advocacy, and resources they need.

💜 Here's to 20 years of impact, compassion, and hope—and to many more years of making a difference.

Today members came together to support Michele Petree Reinert of Breast Cancer Support Services' Glitz and Glamour Gala. Today women no longer fear a death sentence when given the diagnosis of breast cancer thanks to BCSS and the many other survivors who have been through it and overcame. Strong and beautiful women took the stage to share their journey. A beautiful afternoon. Regina is out west but was proud to sponsor this event and with us in spirit.
