President’s Message

The month of December is just about over. We had a great Christmas party in Stansbury at the Oquirrh Mills Restaurant. It was really nice, great friends and great food. I would like to thank Ruth, Ardith and Larry for there work putting the party together. Everything turned out really nice. I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe New Year.

Looking forward to seeing all our Snowbirds in January. I would like to thank everyone again for all their help and support without it we would not have such a great club.

Whatever else changes through the years, the glory of the holidays remains to brighten all hearts with its radiant beauty. May the light shine upon your pathway and bless you with joy and happiness through out the New Year, and always enjoy life's journey.

Vice Prez Mess & Letter From The Editor:

We had a great Christmas Party down here in Quartzsite. Our numbers were a little smaller this year because it was a little later this year & some of our members had already gone home for Christmas. But it was a real good time for those that attended.

While I’m away it would really help if our group would help keep me informed on what is going on up there, so I can get it in the paper. You can always leave me a message at 1-877-386-1941 any time day & nigh, and there won’t be a long distant charge for you. Just a reminder, I need everything about 1 ½ to 2 weeks before the end of the month so I can get everything in the mail ASAP.
