Meeting and Event Highlights for the Week of December 22

posted 

Hi Everyone,

During this holiday season, I wish you all the best, the warmth of family and friends, and safe travels to those who are venturing forth. I'm reminded it's not about the gifts but the giving, the joy we can bring each other. 

Today is the winter solstice. From here we look forward to longer, brighter days. We've made it this far, bundled up against the frigid long nights, knowing in a few short months new life will spring forth once again. 

Recent events have been painful and grievous, not to mention the anniversary of the ALCS tragedy in our midst a year ago. May this holiday season provide a time of sustenance and healing, for rest and renewal, for peace and good will toward all. 

Now on to this week's updates:
