A WORD FROM THE PREZ
Seasons Greetings!
As the end of another year quickly approaches, we pause to reflect on the year past. First and foremost, it is a time to give thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed on each of us, especially in these difficult economic times. In all probability, one way or another, we have been impacted or are close to someone that is struggling with unfortunate circumstances this Holiday Season. This is a time of great challenge for many. More than ever before, it is incumbent upon us to reach out to those in need. Hold on to them and to each other. There is no greater gift that we can give than caring for and taking care of others. This ideal is best exemplified in a Bible verse my Mom use to teach to my sisters and I: “Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others greater than yourself.”
Reflecting back on our year as a club, we also have so much to be thankful for. Our hard work and planning for next year’s Grand National is paying great dividends! Soon we will be releasing another block of rooms for next year’s event as our first block is nearly sold out!! What a tribute to all who have worked so hard and dedicated so much of their time to this cause. I am particularly thankful for our Executive Board, Doug Redman, Jerry Taylor, Shirley Taylor and Paul Williamson for their tireless efforts and volunteering spirits. And of course, no one has worked harder and dedicated more of their time, than our own Marsha Redman. Words cannot describe what a great gift she is to our organization.
Thanks to each of them and to all of the other volunteers who have been stepping up to lend a hand!!
In closing, from Sherry and I: May the miracle of Christmas be with you throughout the remainder of this year into 2010 and every year!! God Bless!
