Some Christmas Quotes from President Aidan:

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting.

It is happiness because we see the joy in people.

It is forgetting oneself and finding time for others.

It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.

President Aidan’s Message to Members and Guests

Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Wishing you and your family peace, health, happiness and prosperity in the coming year.

Merry Christmas may the holiday season fill your home with joy, your heart with love and your life with laughter
