There will be NO regular meeting at the Glendale Library in April.

Our April meeting is Tuesday, April 13 – our Annual Picnic at Sahuaro Ranch Park.  We will meet at 11:30 AM for our picnic.  VOICE will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, all the fixings and drinks.  If you would like to, please bring something to share with the group.

We hope to see lots of you out to the picnic.  If you haven’t been to VOICE in a while, now is the time to come!

VOICE would like to Thank David Haas from The Arizona Center for Disability Law for speaking to us at our meeting in March.  The Arizona Center for Disability Law is the largest provider of free services for the disabled in the State.  David was very informative and answered many questions for us.  Thanks again, David!

VOICE attendance in March was 13.

Spotlight – Janice Edwards

Janice is our April Spotlight and it is her birthday month.  Janice is an Arizona Native (not too many of them around) – she was born in Phoenix.  She is married, with one daughter and two grandsons; she also has two brothers.

Janice is a cat person – she has two of them for pets.  She enjoys music, both listening to and singing.  We know she has a good voice.  She also enjoys swimming and likes to meet new people.

Janice volunteers her time with the Manzanita Senior Center and also sings with a group called Happy Notes.  She enjoys comedy, family and friends.  Janice is always such a positive person and fun to be around.

She enjoys cooking, reading, traveling, and oh, did we mention, singing!  Spring is her favorite time of the year because of the nice weather and the flowers and trees are all in bloom.

She’ll let us know what she wants to be when she grows up (if she figures it out).  You don’t need to grow up if you don’t want do – just stay the way you are!

A Thought for the Month

At this beautiful time of the year I realize how lucky we all are.  The weather is wonderful, the flowers and trees are in bloom and smell great (except for the occassional allergy attack). Take time to smell the roses and enjoy the weather – before it gets too hot.

Remember:  Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often…………               Take care, Janene
