The mission of the National Charity League is to foster mother-daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences.  This afternoon we hosted a NCL quilting party for some twenty members.  The quilt will be donated to a family in need or offered for auction with the proceeds going to charity. Maya’s grandmother, Angela, is an excellent seamstress and it is clear that she will follow in her footsteps.

My soccer team won a crucial match against a difficult opponent this morning by a margin of 4-1 inching us into first place with just two games remaining in the season before the playoffs.  I had a very nice assist in the first half but had to leave the game early in the second when my left hamstring started to give me problems again.  I am hoping it is a minor re-tweek and that I will be back in action next week.  After the game I took the season’s official team photo.
