2 BEHIND THE CURTAIN WITH THE TUTS LEADING LADIES A LETTER FROM the desk of BECKY MCANDREWS Dear Leading Ladies, As we begin the Holiday season, I hope each of you enjoyed Thanksgiving. Each year everyone in my family writes a Thankful List, a tradition we started 17 years ago. I love looking back at those lists and seeing what was important to each of us that year. My list this year contained the usual- family, friends, faith, and health. But new to the list this year was Leading Ladies. I have had the honor of leading this group the past few years and this year we have just blossomed and grown so much. I am grateful for each of you! Every single lady involved in Leading Ladies is making a difference. Such a blessing! Thank you to everyone who participated in Giving Tuesday, your support through promoting giving and your personal donations were much appreciated. Way to go Leading Ladies! Now on to the next holiday- I hope you will attend our Holiday Party on December 14. It is going to be a fun and festive evening. Leticia Jaroski is our hostess and she throws a great party! You won't want to miss this one. I look forward to seeing you there. Best- Becky McAndrews
