March is Mental Health Awareness Month and in keeping with this theme and the impact we can have on the lives of others. Peggy Meyer gave a slide presentation and program titled “Awareness of Mental Health: How it Affects the Way We Think, Feel and Act.” Her presentation was split into two sessions but even with additional time, there is more to tell on this subject and Peggy’s engaging manner nudges us to seek more information on this health condition.
Elysia McGill, state president, installed the newly elected 2025 committee. Closing worship was led by Pastor Lori Kitzing.
Of course, food was also an important part of the day. Rolls, fruit and coffee during registration were served by the ladies from Salem, a lunch was coordinated by Bethany, and refreshments for the road home were provided by Grace Lutheran.
