“Sisters by Heart” salutes women and the many hats they wear

Coinciding with Mother’s Day, "Sisters by Heart", a women’s group in Verona, held “Hats Off to Women” at the Free Methodist Church on May 10.

Over 100 moms, daughters, sisters and friends gathered for an evening of entertainment celebrating and recognizing all of the different hats that women wear as we go through our daily lives both in and outside the home.

Highlights of the evening included the video of the Mom Song, musical entertainment by Melissa Stott and Darlene Snider and guest speaker Sarah McNamee, a graduate of New Life Girls Home, a residential Christian program located in Consecon, Ontario geared to older teens and young women struggling with various problems like drug and alcohol addiction, self abuse and eating disorders.

McNamee, now a mother of four, spoke about her experience as a resident at the home and how it changed her life. A portion of the proceeds of the event were donated to the home.

Sisters by Heart is open to all women in the community and they hold four regular events per year. For more information contact Evelyn Snider at 613 374-2587
