SHARING THE VISION      December 2011-January 2012
President’s Message

  Liz and I would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday
season.  It is a fun time being with our family and catching up with
friends who you   haven’t seen as much as you would like.  This is the
time of the year where I actually enjoy shopping.  I used to drive my
mom crazy because I would buy one gift and get two things for
myself.  I could always see her hold her breath when she asked what I
had bought as she was one of those who did most of her shopping
before Thanksgiving.  This Thanksgiving will be something new for
me.  We will actually have a bunch of people in for the meal as
opposed to the small family dinner of four.  My son is cooking (yeah!)
and I get to taste it all.  It is fun sharing dishes that were part of other
family traditions and listening to the stories of past.  
   I am really excited about this year’s program.  We have had a great
couple of months so far and the program is becoming more
interesting as we move along. As a result of their efforts our
committee chairs and members have added to our membership and e-
student affiliates.  Many of our new members attended our auction in
November.  It was fun watching Paula Becker and the out-bidding of
each other going on.
