Less than 100 days away! Doesn’t seem possible, does it? Seems like it was just yesterday that we said goodbye and hugged each other with

comments of “I’ll see you in St. Louis!”

Representing NAREOP, I attended the NAEOP Winter Board Meeting in

New Orleans, LA the third weekend of January. It was a great board

meeting and I applaud the NAEOP Board for their passion and pride in our association, and to care enough to speak up in order to move our

Association into the future. One of the items presented to the NAEOP Executive Board was a request for NAREOP to receive 50¢ per retired member from the NAEOP

dues. This is a practice from years ago which was stopped, but no one seems to remember why. A 50¢ assessment to NAREOP would give us operating funds for each year. As NAEOP

Historian and NAREOP member, Connie Bergeson agreed to search the records in her possession to see if she can find out why this practice stopped. Up to this point, the NAREOP

records on file in the NAEOP national office have been thoroughly searched by Karen Pulaski

and Debbie Geib. However, no information has been located. There was also a search on the formation of the Foundation several years ago with the funding coming through NAREOP.

However, no records seem to exist as to any language with that donation. If we have older members that remember anything about these two issues, I would LOVE to hear from you!

Either send me a written note or an email – my contact information is listed below.

The focus of my President’s message for this issue of The BEAM is to remind everyone of the importance of spreading the word about donations for our Special Projects and Scholarship fund

raisers at conference. Specific details about items available through both raffles are included in this issue. For those unable to attend this conference, I plead with you to send donations in for

both areas if possible. NAREOP is facing challenges this year and the last thing we want to do is raise dues or add a postage fee in order to receive the printed issue of The BEAM. If you are

coming to conference, you can still send in your donations early to either Ellen Gamel (for Special Projects) or Martha Carson (for Scholarships). I know these ladies very well and you

would truly excite their hearts to receive a donation from each of you.

And, speaking of fund raisers, this issue includes tickets for both the Scholarship fund raiser and Special Projects. Please, please don’t delay in copying the tickets (or tear out the page)

and mail with your check to the appropriate person. The 2016 Special Projects table will also include a unique project called Dishing Up Special Prizes. Our board members are donating

beautiful colorful plates, all with a different design. You can purchase the plate for a donation.

On the back of each plate hidden in an envelope is a gift card with a minimum value of $10.00, so everyone who purchases a plate is guaranteed to get money back, or more. The gift cards

will range in value from $10 to $50 – I love this exciting idea and cannot wait to hear from the purchasers how the plate dishes up a special surprise! Special thanks to Ellen Gamel, assisted

by Billie Mikesell, for working so hard on our Special Projects fund raisers. Martha Carson is also working hard to seek donations for the scholarships – wouldn’t it be grand to recognize her

efforts and be able to distribute three scholarships in 2017? A big thank you to our 2015-2016 Board. They are the best!

Congratulations to the newly elected 2016-2017 Board! I know their passion and

commitment is with NAREOP and I look forward to continued excellence. As I close this message, I think of the renewal of our hearts and spirits that comes at Easter. Whatever makes

your heart smile – from worshipping in church on Easter Sunday to sharing chocolate bunnies with grandkids to a good meal with special friends, I hope it comes true for each of you.

My how time flies! We’re still expecting snow, but spring is just around the corner.

I hope you grandmothers and great-grandmothers have obtained a scholarship application for your

grandchild. We anticipate giving two $1,000 scholarships in July and wouldn’t want them to miss out. If you have been a NAEOP member for 5 years and are a current NAREOP member in good standing, your

grandchild is eligible. You can obtain an application by contacting me at the address below, or go to the NAREOP area of the www.naeop.org website. The application deadline is April 1st.

In order to fund our scholarships, we have our 50/50 raffle with the drawings at our NAREOP luncheon at national conference. There will be a 50/50 drawing for conference attendees. Also, there will be lots of silent auction items in

special projects at the scholarship table for you to bid on, so be sure to check them out at conference.

It won’t be long before we’re heading to St. Louis. We look forward to seeing all of you. If you cannot attend this

year, we will be thinking of you. Until next time,

Greetings! Here we are in a new year with new possibilities and opportunities to

do new and exciting things. Nothing can disturb our peace and happiness unless we

allow it to happen. With the help of God, we are more than conquerors.

Continue to reflect on President

Becky’s theme, “Living every moment, Loving beyond words and Laughing everyday.” Use this theme as your

motivator and say to yourself, “the best is yet to come.”

I am busy with my task as your 2015-16 Historian to compile memoirs for the President and the NAREOP’s

archives. Thanks President Becky for the photos.

Members, I need any tidbits you would like to be included in this year’s history. The only problem is I need

you to share the information with me. Can I depend on you? Thanks for your support.

I M M E D I A T E P A S T P R E S I D E N T

I have been promoting NAREOP and NAEOP to new retirees who have shown

real interest in this association and what it has to offer them. As individuals, we all

have a great deal to contribute by our willingness to become involved, by

stepping outside our comfort zone and by

volunteering on committees and considering running for office. It takes all members working together as one,

sharing ideas in small discussion groups to come up with fresh ideas. Input is critical to finding solutions.

All of the points mentioned above are very important

to building a strong foundation in any association. Please remember that everyone can make a difference. Join us

and come along on the journey of discovery as we move

towards the future with all its possibilities.

One positive thought leads to another

You matter, always have, always will

Look for the good in things, you always find it

There is no reason to doubt yourself

Let your inner beauty out, “Smile”

You are up to any challenge

Dedication plus determination equals dreams come true.

Attention!!

“NAREOP GUIDELINES UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED”

Major work on the NAREOP Guidelines began last year and continued in the 2015-2016 year. The proposed changes are necessary to bring NAREOP’s governing rules to match current practice and allow the association to better meet the needs of our members. The proposed changes were presented to the 2014-2015 Executive Board last July and to the membership during the 2015 Annual Meeting in Buffalo, New York. Under this year’s leadership of President-Elect, Rebecca Crabtree, and members of the Guidelines Committee, the proposed Guidelines were reviewed for any final changes and then submitted to the national office for inclusion on the 2015-2016 ballot.

We are very appreciative to the members of the Guidelines Committees for both 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 for their extensive work on such a major task. Kudos to our members who took the time to review the Guidelines and ask questions or make recommendations for additional changes. And we are grateful for the unanimous approval of the proposed Guidelines.

Following this approval, the 2015-2016 Executive Board will now propose changes in the NAREOP Procedures Manual to coordinate the language to be in line with requirements of the Guidelines.

Copies of both documents are available from Rebecca Crabtree, and her contact information is listed on page 8 of this newsletter.

MID ATLANTIC AREA To NAREOP members— The Spring Meeting of VAEOP

will be held in May 2016 since the Fall Conference was

cancelled. It will be great to see everyone again.

Lois Sawyer, CEOE (VA) Mid Atlantic Area Representative

to attend the 2016 North Central Area

I hope to see all of you at both of these conferences.

Ruth Burgess, CEOE (IL)

North Central Area Representative.

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA In the last issue of the BEAM, I shared

one of my favorite quotes, “All things come to him who waits, provided he waits like a cat at a mouse hole ready to pounce upon opportunity the instant it appears,” and I shared some of my thoughts about being

patient and ready in various parts of my life - including my retired life.

Now I’d like to hear from you, our South Central Area

members. What are some of the volunteer activities and projects you are or have been involved in since you

retired? What are some of the organizations or groups you have been involved in as a retiree? What are some of the

jobs you’ve taken on in your retired life? Please email your responses to me at [email protected] or mail to me

at 318 Shoreacres Blvd., Shoreacres, TX 77571 by April 1,

2016. I’ll include a sampling of your retirement ideas in an upcoming issue of The BEAM and give our fellow NAREOP

members some ideas. Continued in Next Column

As a little incentive, I’ll send a special surprise to the top

two most interesting or unique ideas in each category: - Volunteer activities/projects

- Organization/group involvement - Jobs

By the way, my long-term sub-job as the junior high art

teacher lasted four weeks and was actually pretty fun (once I got the hang of it). I had a certified teacher in the

classroom with me who handled the “official” stuff (attendance, grades, discipline) while I created, lead and

graded all the fun art projects for 115 students in 6 classes. The students were mostly amazing, mostly well-behaved,

and mostly tolerant of my crazy ideas and even a few

costumes! In the end, I was really sad to leave the students but knew there were plenty of other students in

the district who need me! I also have a much deeper appreciation and understanding of all the work, time,

energy and money that teachers put into their jobs. Wow,

what an adventure!! Debbie Wade, CEOE (TX)

South Central Area Representative

SOUTHEAST AREA This must be a very quiet time for the

state and local AEOP associations.

The Southeast Area Professional Development Seminar is fast approaching.

It’s time to make hotel reservations and Seminar registration. It will be hosted by

the Louisiana Association at the Holiday Inn Hotel, 4848 Constitution Avenue, Baton Rouge, April 22 -

hospitality, Saturday continental breakfast, Saturday lunch,

and Sunday breakfast buffet. For more information contact Judy Russell, CEOE, Co-Chair at [email protected] o r Debb ie B re land , CEOE , Co -Cha i r a t [email protected]. It’s also time to make your hotel and travel reservations to attend the NAEOP Conference July 13-16 in St. Louis,

Missouri. Remember, people may doubt what you say, but

they will always remember what you do. So do what you say you are going to do. Let them see how you support

NAREOP by attending the annual NAREOP meeting at NAEOP conference, by participating at the Special Projects

tables, and by renewing your membership and paying the

dues at renewal time. Your officers give endless hours of their time for you. Support them and NAREOP.

SOUTHWEST AREA Hello My Retiree Sisters,

After this COLD winter, I know that I

am so looking forward to Spring. I miss all

the blooming, beautiful flowers that will be appearing shortly. I also miss wearing my

capris and sandals. I know I really should not complain as the lowest it was here in

Southern California was 58 degrees one

day.

We in California were excited about attending our 66th

Annual CAEOP conference from February 25-27, 2016 aboard the beautiful Queen Mary in Long Beach. Ms. Wendy

Heslink, CEOE, our NAEOP President-Elect, was our guest

speaker at our general session speaking on “Change is the Opportunity for Growth.” It was wonderful to see and hear

Wendy again.

Utah has announced their annual conference, “Learn, Connect, Grow” to be held on March 12, 2016 at the

Graniote Education Center in Salt Lake City. They will have some classes on technology and others great subjects.

I can hardly wait to see all of you, my dearest friends, at

our NAEOP conference. It will be here before we know it, July 13-16, 2016. Let’s get those suitcases out and plan to

attend the wonderful conference in St Louis, Missouri. I

hope to see all of you there and get to hug each and everyone of you!

In closing, please don’t forget to pay your NAEOP dues! Is it time to renew for you? Thanking you in advance.

Susie Martinez, CEOE (CA)

Southwest Area Representative

you for your donations.

anything you contribute will be helpful in reaching our goal.

It has been my pleasure to serve as Vice President. I hope to hear from you and see you in St. Louis. God

Bless. Ellen Gamel, CEOE (AK) NAREOP Vice President 13161 Elmhurst Circle Anchorage, AK 99515

PRE S I D ENT - E L E C T R EPO RT St. Louis will be here before we know it and I will be starting my year as President of

the Retirees. I’m excited to start this new phase of my life. I never thought I would be

president of a national association but it gets

more exciting the closer the time gets. Also, it is wonderful that I have about half of my Board filled.

Such wonderful ladies.

Life is getting busier and busier. I hope everyone

gets a chance to stop and smell the roses, as they say. Our next big celebration is a wedding, then a graduation

and then St. Louis.

I will be asking many of the Past Presidents and

members of NAREOP for suggestions and help along my

path as I serve as your President. Thank you for having faith in me as I will do my best to make you all proud of

this association.

Rebecca Crabtree, CEOE (SC) NAREOP President Elect, 2015-2016


2 0 1 6 S E R V I C E PR O J E C T S E L E C T E D As recommended by Karen Pulaski as our 2016 Conference Liaison, the NAREOP Service

Project for the 2016 Annual NAEOP Conference and Institute in St Louis is Ready

Readers. This nonprofit organization purpose is to inspire preschool-age children from

low-income communities to become readers.

The Program

Ready Readers is a unique St. Louis nonprofit organization whose purpose is to inspire

preschool-age children from low-income communities to become readers.

Currently, Ready Readers has 570 trained volunteers who read weekly to more than 8,700 children attending 175 early

childhood programs in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Ready Readers is financially supported by the generous grants

and contributions from local corporations, family foundations, trusts, and individuals

Our volunteers read high-quality children’s books every week for 30 minutes to a classroom of preschool children. The

same volunteer always reads to the same children at the same time each week. In addition to weekly reading sessions,

each child receives at least six high-quality, new books throughout the year. Our volunteer readers represent the

population of St. Louis and are recruited from businesses, corporations, colleges, universities, etc.

Ready Readers also gives the classroom teachers the same six gift books with extension activities, based on the

Missouri Early Learning Standards. This year, 420 teachers also participated in Ready Readers professional

development workshops, and all received clock hour credits from the state for attending our workshops.

How Ready Readers Makes A Difference

Ready Readers is premised upon the U.S. Department of Education’s 1985 report, Becoming a Nation of Readers,

found that:

“The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is

reading aloud to children.”

Studies indicate the correlation of early exposure to books with later success in school. Reading aloud to children is a

direct contributing factor in developing a child’s emergent literacy skills. Furthermore, access to books is highly

correlated with reading skills.

This past year, LS Associates studied the changes of behavior and attitudes of the children in the Ready Readers

program compared to those not in our program. After a year of observations, LS Associates “found strong evidence

that Ready Readers program achieves its outcome of increasing children’s interest and engagement with books and

reading.”

How You Can Make a Difference

There are numerous ways individuals can support Ready Readers.

1. Contribute financially ($60 supports the read-aloud program and six (6) new books for a preschool child and their

teacher with extension activities and workshops for a year.)

2. Donate new or gently used preschool books

3. Donate gift cards to major retailers (i.e.: Barnes & Noble, Target and Walmart). Gift cards are encouraged.

CONGRATULATIONS!! On February 13, 2016, the Storefront for Community Design sponsored its first awards program to honor three Richmond citizens for their work in community interaction, elevating the discussion of planning and design in the city and exhibiting thought leadership in community design.

The award for innovating the “Neighbor to Neighbor Reach” is named “The Mary Thompson ‘Mrs. T’ Community Engagement Award.” Congratulations to Mary White Thompson for this honor.


Our heartfelt sympathies are sent to the fami-lies of NAREOP members on the recent passing of NAREOP members or immediate family of NAREOP members:

….to Billie Mikesell, from Washington, on the death of her husband, Larry, in January.

….to Terry Mitchell, from Kansas, for the death of her father, Dale McKinsey in February.
