Club meetings start at 7pm on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month at the
Fremont Elks Lodge, 38991 Farwell Drive, Fremont, California
The Christmas party is just around the corner and we haven’t much time to
prepare. I can hardly believe it’s December already! My goodness! Where
HAS the time gone… The holidays are upon us and there’s no time to waste.
You can find all sorts of key information in this month’s edition, so don’t miss
a word or you might miss out.
Having just been through Thanksgiving, I have to say thank you to every one
of our program presenters of 2009. There were a couple I wasn’t present to
hear, but all in all, it’s been a good year. I’d also like to thank the membership
for all their encouragement and comments over the past four years. I’ve felt
privileged and blessed to be part of such a caring, considerate group that
genuinely likes to get together and share. I also have to thank our board
members and officers for putting in so much time and effort to help the club
run smoothly. It’s a healthy club, so we definitely have much to be thankful
for.
Going forward, let us remember the past fondly, encourage each other to plod
ahead into the coming year boldly, and show anyone who passes through what
makes our club so special. It’s the same thing today than it was when I first
darkened the doorway nearly six years ago… the people. Some come all too
infrequently, demographics flex with the seasons, but the social core is what
really makes the difference.
Take the opportunity this holiday season to pull someone aside and let them
know you appreciate them. Don’t let time wind down without taking stock of
the things in life that matter most. Be Santa Claus to someone who desperately
needs it, and give from the joy of your heart. Serving others positively in any
any capacity benefits us all. Merry Christmas!
