Dear ladies,
I want to thank you for bestowing the honor of "Order of the Lily". Through the years I have enjoyed helping with projects and try to assist wherever I can. However I do no more than any of you! I received your letter and was quite surprised. I saw the envelope and thought my dues got lost and I was in trouble..LOL. You all are very kind.."always be kind in thought and word and deed"...profound words that all of you have shown as well as I have tried to keep mindful. Like the world today...We are in this Together.
Again, thank you.
Be well,
Susan Adiletta

Memories of a Cranbury Woman’s Club Member
The Woman's Club of Cranbury--what thoughts and memories float through my mind when I say those words--words that have infinite meaning!
I picture friends, friendships begun in and nurtured by the Woman's Club, friends with whom we have laughed, chatted, planned, worked, sympathized, dreamed, and had fun with!
I am touched when I realize the many Cranbury young people who have furthered their education, thanks to our scholarships, and now those scholarships are also enabling women to pursue interrupted studies.
I picture the Cranburyites and visitors whose hearts have been lifted by the beauty of the flowers and greens regularly planted in the barrels--barrels placed around town many years ago by the Woman's Club.
I am gratified when I review the little and big blessings performed for the sick, the needy, the elderly, and the military.
I am impressed by the personal growth many have experienced as they have found themselves in leadership positions.
I smile when I observe the happy celebration at the annual Christmas tree lighting.
I am thrilled when I enumerate the many, many books--serious, entertaining, and international--that have been read and then discussed in a group.
I sense the personal warmth we have felt as together we have been entertained and informed at both our general and department meetings!
And my mind reverts to the Cranbury Reading Group, formed over 100 years ago, and its evolving into this segment of a national organization that has made a vital contribution to our country--The General Federation of Women's Clubs. What a privilege to be part of it!
