Merry
Christmas
Hello folks.
Sorry this is getting out so late this month. I am having one of those
“thought I had it all together, but then forgot where I put it” weeks.
As we wind down the year, chapter events are still happening and we hope
you will join in wherever it works for you!
If we don’t see you out before the holidays, on behalf of the Chapter, we
wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Blessings for the New Year.

Party: Details from Randy:
Hi All, The party will start at our house
at 6:00pm. Debbie & I will provide buns & meat, mustard & mayo. Please
bring a finger food of your choice. We would like to know what you are
bringing to avoid duplication. So please email us with what you are
bringing. Don't forget to bring your favorite beverage. We moved the start
time back so that those that want can attend the Candlelight Vigil.
Ron got word from Julie of Soldiers'
Angels about the candlelight vigil at birch bay square. The vigil is
starting at 4:00pm at the Spc. Aaron Aamot memorial courtyard. I
understand that Soldiers' Angels is having a Christmas event all day in
the Square.

Christmas is almost here. Hope you all are doing well. Debbie and I
are preparing for the Christmas party this weekend. We hope to see you
all here. Don't miss it.
We did get a family from the New Life Ministries. A Mom and her 2
sons. Here are the request from the three of them.
MOM: Gas Voucher Make-up/Lotions
8 YEAR OLD BOY: Horse/Cowboy/Ranch , anything Basketball
4 YEAR OLD BOY: Hot Wheels/Trucks, Basketball
It is to be 2 gifts for each family member with no more than $25.00
each.
There is a certain way that we have to label them once we have them
wrapped. Once they are wrapped they are to be put in a black bag and
that is to be numbered.
They have requested that all gifts be back to them by the 12th but
since this is a late arrival, our delivery date can be later. So
please bring a little extra money to share with this family. The
ladies will be needing the money to fill these request. We will talk
more about it during the party this weekend.
On another topic the Road Captain Class that we were planning for the
28th of January does have a road portion that would require some ride
time. So I found another course that covers the same material without
the road time. It is called Team Riding. It takes 45 minutes to cover.
So we may try doing it prior to a meeting or potluck. So I will be
getting the information for that class together. Now all we need is a
Seminar Presenter. So all you Presenters out there give me a call and
let me know if you are up to the task.
If we try to do this before a meeting you will not have much time to
prep for the presentation. I will let the seminar presenter that steps
forward decide when it will be presented. It just needs to be done by
March so we can make plans for the Road Captain Course later. I have
many other things to work on this week so I'll be cutting this note
short for now. So until later we wish you and yours' a Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year.
P.S. I noticed that Wayne managed to get his picture in Wing World
again. Check out page 82 of the January 2012 mag.
Jeff has completely redone the Chapter Web site, and is looking for
