Hola, Comadres. We hope you had a great
holiday and are ready to take on 2017 and all its challenges. We start
the year with our annual Comadres Birthday Party, where we celebrate Everyone’s
birthday with flowers and cake!
Please join us in thanking Comadre Morriseen and
the Edwin Gould Foundation for hosting us this month.
And, help us WELCOME two new Comadres Moderators
– Gladys Ayala and Miriam Molina. Together with Maria and Raesha, these
four Comadres will organize the monthly Comadrazos and special outings so stay tune
to your event brites and email notifications.
A big Thank You to SuperComadre Julia Abrantes
for working tirelessly for the NYC Comadres and the national organization these
past years. Yes, she is moving to Atlanta in April, but she will always be with
us in spirit and corazon. Julia will be at the January Birthday Celebration; come
say hello. (It’s not goodbye yet.)
We are hoping to do an outing soon to see the
movie Neruda starring Luis Gnecco as the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda; also
starring Gael Garcia Bernal, Mercedes Moran and Alfredo Castro. All Comadres
and friends welcome.
Our Comadres January calendar is below, along
with some announcements and ways to help Las Comadres. As soon as we confirm
February’s date for our Comadrazo, we will send an email.
We leave you with an inspirational message to
start 2017:
“And suddenly you know…
It’s time to start something New
and trust the magic of beginnings.”
And we wish you a …. HAPPY EVERYTHING!
