Greetings
to you all.
It's
that time of year to check your list twice.
If you don't have your list done by now and have checked it at least
once, you had better hurry!!
Every
year, after the holiday season, I find I have left something undone. I'll try not to do that this year. I would like to be able to greet each of you
in person this year, but that is impossible, so I will do it this way, by
letter.
I
have said "You are the number one volunteer for Optimist
International," and that is true.
But, most importantly, you
are the most important person to those 32 kids that your membership
represents. They need you. They need you to provide growth opportunities
in education, sports, the arts, humanities,
health and moral support, to move forward in their lives.
As
we move through the final stages of this year, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and
celebrate the New Year, hug all around you and celebrate to the fullest of
life.
As
an Optimist, celebrate the good that you have done for so many, many kids that
needed you. Give thanks for having the
ability to help them.
This
is your time with family and friends.
This is your time to receive comfort from them and give comfort to
them. This is your time to enjoy.
Ellen
and I wish you the very best during this Holiday Season and, as we go forward
into 2012, have a Happy New Year!!
"Spiraling
Upward"
