As we enter into this festive time of the year, the Angels staff is on high alert to find homes for every child in need so that all foster babies will have loving families to embrace them in this season of joy.   

Days before our family holiday party, I am reminded of the very first one, held in my living room with our first two placements.  This weekend our party will include over 200 guests, with many of our oldest Angels returning to celebrate with us, as they have for the past 14 years. 

Since that beginning 14 years ago I have filled my heart and my life with the day to day management of Angels. With the help of our wonderful donors and supporters, our "baby" has grown by leaps and bounds. It's now time for me to step into a new role.

I will continue to help guide us into the exciting future, while reserving a little more time to spend with my grandbabies.  

Rachel Zahn, Angels Associate Director and our own Dr. Mama, will take the reins of day-to-day management as our new Executive Director. We are very excited about this transition and know that you will continue to cheer us on as we grow, thrive and rescue many more innocent lives.   

I would like to share with you my favorite Christmas image for all of our little ones:  

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads.

Wishing you happy holidays filled with the joy of laughter for all our children.

With love,  

Cathy
