Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday season and a great start to 2017.

I hope everyone enjoys the first bulletin of the year. I am excited to announce that Jan MacDonald will be taking over the bulletin this year. If anyone has any articles or input they would like to include please pass it on to Jan.

I will be taking a year off from D&D as I will be expecting my first baby this March but I promise to bring he/she to a meeting in the future!

January 5, 2017 I am rejoicing in a new year! Like many, I was glad to see the end of 2016 but must admit that I am looking forward to 2017 with a more positive attitude and much more enthusiasm. I am excited to be serving as your President this year but must admit I have some qualms since it has been 35 years since I last served as President of the Edmonton Club. Lots of processes and policies have changed in that time so I am back in “learning” format. I firmly believe that sometimes you need to put yourself out of your comfort zone and take a step off the edge of the cliff in order to continue to grow.However, you may have gathered from my theme of “Together We Can”, I don’t plan on taking this journey alone. I am expecting all of you to travel with me this year as together we infuse new energy and enthusiasm into our club, as together we find new and inventive ways to present exciting and thoughtful programs that enrich us all, and as together we have some fun and get to know a little more about each other and our Association during 2017.Our Board of Directors has been busy. Membership Board Contact Kim Reilly has emailed your Desk and Derrick membership forms for 2017 to each of you. Please take a moment to complete the form and bring it to the January dinner meeting or mail it back to Kim. I would also like to extend a special thank you to the following members who have stepped up with us. Jan MacDonald will be Chairman for the Bulletin Committee and Claudette McCain will be Chairman for the Social Committee. By now you should all have received an email from me outlining the dates of our dinner meetings as well as the details on our January meeting program. Our goal is to provide you with as much advance notice as possible so you can plan your schedules accordingly and invite a guest to learn from our presentation speaker or to learn about Desk and Derrick.So, take that step off the edge of the cliff with me:

• Get your membership form submitted• Come to the January dinner meeting to hear our speaker• Sign up to serve on a committee

Together we can,Evelyn
