ANEW arose out of the need for a safe place for widowed men and women to go when they are ready to turn the corner in their grief journey and begin to socialize again. While ANEW is not a grief support group, its members are able to provide understanding and information, if requested, to obtain grief support. The mission of ANEW is to provide a social atmoshpere for those individuals who have made the decision to try to move forward. ANEW offers an opportunity to enjoy fellowhsip and friendship – to begin living again! ANEW meetings are held on the fourth Friday of each month at St. Raphael. Social activities are scheduled throughout the month. For more information about ANEW, please contact Margaret Huck, 630-355-4545, ext. 123.
