Penrickton Center for Blind Children
Our Board members were in attendance at the Penrickton Center for blind Children Annual Kickoff Fundraiser dinner and as always, it was a beautiful event. We were able to give a donation again this year only because of your financial support. Thank you for your financial support this year!

Upcoming Events and News:
End of year Holiday Luncheon and Annual Business Meeting:
Please join us at our SMSHE end of year Holiday Luncheon and Annual Business Meeting. This event will be on December 14, 2022, 1130am-2:30pm at the Freedom Hill Banquet and Event Center in Sterling Heights MI. We look forward to enjoying some food, fun and fellowship with each of you.

Membership Process:
If you have not signed up for our SMSHE Membership, we encourage you to go to our website or talk with one of our Board members about the process. It is rather simple and can be done online.

In closing, SMSHE has a lot to be thankful for and all of it is attributed to the great support we receive from our Members. On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you, and we wish you a Happy Holiday Season!

Your SMSHE President,
Stanley Browning
