Message from the President December 2017

May you have gloves to warm your hands and boots to warm

your feet. And the love and laughter of your family and friends

to warm your heart. Charity M. Richey-Bentley

Greetings,

I am a slave to “must dos” and have a list of things that must be done in November.

I must change the furnace filters, reset the clocks and replace the batteries in the smoke

alarms. It is also a must to wash the windows and polish the silver, which I might not use,

but it must be done! Then, I get down to the fun things like arranging the snow village and

putting the lights on the house which must be turned on Thanksgiving evening. Now, I am

ready for December.

In December, sticking with tradition becomes my top priority. Any shopping must be

done by December 12th so that items may be shipped. This past year, I joined millions of

Americans using online ordering and free shipping. Like many of you, my gift recipients

prefer envelopes in place of packages so shopping as well as sending holiday cards will soon

become a lost tradition in my family. Our traditions that will never end include: listening to

holiday music while trimming the tree, making my Mother’s Christmas Coffee Cake, frosting

sugar cookies, and getting teary-eyed while remembering past holiday seasons.

As you enjoy the month of December, take advantage of the sounds and sights that are

the heart of the Triangle. Many of our communities have parades, lighting exhibits and

holiday performances that are too numerous to mention in this short note.

Wishing you love, laughter, friendship and winter cheer,

Anita Timbrook

Reminders

Please join us for the Winter Wonderland Dinner/Dance held Thursday, January 18, 2018.

If you would like to attend but are uncertain about driving in the evening, Rusine Sinclair has volunteered

to help those with concerns about transportation.
