Each week as we put the newsletter together, it seems that the articles often come together in a way that expresses a theme or tells a story, even though we do not intentionally try to do that.

This week, each article gives you a glimpse into Families as Allies itself - what we do in our groups, how we use donations, our need for an Office Manager and the work we do with CHAMP, one of our partners.

When we decided to start publishing the Ally weekly rather than monthly at the beginning of the pandemic, we told ourselves that we didn't want it to be a newsletter with photos about what we did last week. We wanted it to be a newsletter with information that would be most helpful to you this week.

So we don't take a lot of time to tell you about what we did.But we do share about what we are doing, especially this week. We want to know what you think about what and how we are doing. We also want to hear about what you think we should be doing. Most of all, we want to hear your ideas about what we can do together.

Speaking of what we can do together - don't forget our virtual Community Partnership Celebration on November 16 at 5:30.  It's been a challenging year, but still so much to celebrate.
