During August, local SLW Communities gathered with Associates and friends to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Sisters of the Living Word.  In the Chicago area, the Sheridan Ave. Community hosts a picnic in their backyard.  About 40 people came to the pot luck with fruits, salads, drinks and lots of companionship.
