“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.” — Rudyard Kipling

On this special day, we honor our mothers as the true givers of life, whose pure & unconditional love creates a safe haven for us all in our hearts & home. With boundless tenderness, caring, & kindness, they nurtured our hearts & souls every single day. Through their gentle yet steadfast guidance, they light our way, teach us right from wrong, & empower us to grow into our best selves. A mother’s love is the purest force in the world, it is unwavering, selfless, and forever present.

What are your additives for your mother?

We have another sad announcement to make about one of our members. Pauline Smith, a longtime secretary of SBMC & our first female member, both milestones in their own right, has passed away. We would like to send our heartfelt prayers & condolences to her family during this time of sorrow. Pauline’s dedication & support have shaped our organization & touched so many of us in meaningful ways. She will be greatly missed by all of us.

Take this time to reflect on those who have been mentors in your life & thank them for their guidance & contributions as we celebrate the life & memories of Pauline Smith.
