DESCRIPTION
RESA November 2013TRANSCRIPT
Letter from the President
Athena went on vacation in October. Can you guess where she’s
been?
Dear Members,
Having lived at seven
bases within the states
and abroad, the customs,
the language, and even
the weather have varied.
One constant has always
remained: being in the
company of those men
and women who always
gave more than they
asked for, who always
came when called. To
have served as President
for two terms of such a
group of individuals here
in Germany, has been
tremendous. I am
honored and humbled by
the faith you entrusted in
me. Yet I, too, have had
faith in all of you. Faith
that we would endeavor
to reach out to those
spouses who are not here.
Faith that at the end of
our time here, each one
of us would feel a tie to
this community because
we have worked to make
it a better place for all
who have called it home.
There is so much we have
accomplished together.
I have had the
opportunity to work with
21 different Board
Members during the past
two years. I greatly
appreciate the effort and
dedication that every
member has put forth.
Additionally, to the 2013
Board – Thank you for all
your hard work and
devotion to RESA this past
year. Together we have
accomplished so much
and have touched so
many lives. To the 2014
Board – We are giving
you an organization with
a substantial foundation,
yet it has so much
potential to become even
greater! I wish you all a
prosperous year!
My time here has been
filled with great memories
- everything from
volunteering at our Thrift
Shop, squeezing lemons,
to attending meetings,
dinners, parties and
shopping trips. For me,
RESA has been a
rewarding experience. I’ve
made so many friends
and learned so much.
I believe that Harriet
Naylor best captured the
heart of every volunteer
when she wro te
“Volunteering can be an
e x c i t i ng , g row i ng ,
enjoyable experience. It is
truly gratifying to serve a
cause, practice one’s
ideals, work with people,
solve problems, see
benefits, and know one
had a hand in them”.
Thank you, everyone! I
have thoroughly enjoyed
representing the Ramstein
E n l i s t e d S po u s e s ’
Association as your
President!
Sincerely,
Eva
