NEW YEAR & NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!
Just thought I'd share my New Year's
resolutions with you...
• I will respond to all e-mail (except chain letters)
in a timely manner.
• I will learn to cook something both low-fat AND
delicious.
• I will cease and desist any and all bad habits for
an entire year.
(or at least until January 2nd)
• I will do laundry on a regular basis before it
becomes a possible fire hazard.
• I will pick one place to put my keys and the remote
so that I don't spend half my life running around like
an idiot, looking for them.
• I will seek true enlightenment and the meaning of
life. (while occasionally remembering to floss.)
And my #1 resolution is to always appreciate great
people like you.
Thanks, Thanks and Thanks Again!
December 10th - Christmas Party for
the kids at Hella Temple hosted by Exchange and
Rotary. Decorating began at 10:30 a.m. The event was a
wonderful success again this year. Of course, the main
event was Santa and the presents. The children’s faces
made everything very worthwhile. The kids always get
so excited but I think the Exchange members enjoy this
event more. What a great time to see the true “Miracle
of Christmas.” If you were not able to attend, you
missed a great event. Thanks again to all the members
who attended and enjoyed the spirit of Christmas.
Thank you to the following for making this event so
wonderful:
Hella Temple for the use of their facility, Mr.
Bowling and the North Mesquite Unity Group for the
entertainment, Walmart for the $1,000 grant, Blue Bell
Ice Cream for refreshments, Gary Engleman for Santa
and Mrs. Engleman for his elf, Chase Bank for hosting
the wrapping party, Beverly McNamara for decorating
for this special event.
Thanks also goes to all the members of the Exchange
club who helped make this party for the kids a
success.
Special thanks goes to the Exchange
Club’s own Santa, Don Tinius, for all of his tireless
effort and hours of attention to make such a great
event run smoothly. And it showed!
Happy Birthday to You!
