Portland Saheli is one year old!!!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Congratulations to all the PS Members for being together in our 14 month old journey..
Yes, we completed a year and are now in our second year of togetherness..
Laughter,sharing, night outs, book discussions, social issues, and new ventures-- it has been a wonderful year!
As I look back, last year when I had started it, I wanted to create a platform where we wives could come up and do something different apart from our household and family commitments! Its wonderful to be a wife, caregiver, homemaker but to have a support system right there means a lot..helping ladies venture into the American world not alone..
Thanks Divya for hosting our Annual event!
We discussed some crucial steps for a more regular meet up every month which will be noted in a separate section.
All members are encouraged to post one post every month to feel connected to the PS world!
Thank you for all the fun times that we spend together!
