Ellen Kirsch Connecting with people has always been important to me.  Whether it be in my work as a hospital and school social worker, raising my daughters, doting on my grandchildren, or enjoying a marriage that has lasted for more than 50 years, I naturally gravitate towards people.  This, in part, is a reason why I find being a [...]

Gabriela Alfonzo Morales Born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, I tend to have a somewhat broad, more global perspective on the environment in which I live. I’ve lately noticed that the world has become a less secure place, so it makes sense to me to seek ways to do something positive for the community. And though I’ve been a member [...]

  When I retired, I promised myself that I would pursue three goals: to continue traveling, to learn a new hobby, and to join a women’s group focused on community service.  I have to admit that the first two are works in progress, but I am pretty happy to say that I achieved the last one when I joined [...]
