President’s Podium
Dear Members,
Happy New Year!! I wish you much health and happiness in 2008! I hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays with family and friends. It was a beautiful season for me and my family. We really enjoyed ourselves and made some wonderful memories of this special time of year. We had a few close calls to Santa to check the naughty list for Andrew and Jack, but in the end Santa was VERY good to them!
We wrapped up 2007 with some fantastic celebrations, NCMOTC style! Our Children’s Holiday Party was a wonderful afternoon for our little ones, as always. Many thanks to Mary Grace and Michele for a job well done. Thank you also to their families – husbands, children and grandparents – for pitching in to make the party so enjoyable for everyone. All the little touches made this party so special. Much appreciation also to those members and older twins, and especially DADs, who helped with the set-up and clean-up. Don’t forget, if your multiples need community service hours for school, we can always use an extra set of hands (or 2 or 3) at our events, please feel free to contact me about this.
It was great to see so many DADs at our Holiday Dinner as well. We all enjoyed a lovely evening at the Maine Maid Inn, to share some holiday spirit and look forward to the New Year ahead. Thank you to Samantha and Mary Grace for putting together a great night. We were also able to spread some holiday cheer to our Helping Hands families, with special gifts for these members and their children, thanks to your generosity and good will. Thank you to Mary Elizabeth, Judy and the Massapequa Bike Club for filling some holiday wishes for these families this year.
We have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming year, and I hope you will join us at some of our meetings and events. This month’s Program will be a chance to relax, regroup, and de-stress after the holidays. Join us for the Hot Cocoa Social and reconnect with friends. We’ll preview the upcoming programs and events for the months ahead, so try not to miss this meeting!
And it’s never too early - Save those extra holiday gifts and start pounding the pavement – the 2008 Fashion Show is coming! Our Fundraising Ladies will be pulling out all the stops to make this year’s big event a fantastic night of fun and prizes for all. More details will follow.
Can you believe 2008 is already here? Have you made your New Year’s Resolutions yet? (Have you broken any yet?) Try making a commitment to be more involved in our wonderful club, and stick with it. We haven’t seen many of you in a long time, and we miss you! Club elections in June will be here before you know it, start thinking about it! Remember, this club exists for the support of its members – we are here for YOU!
From my family to yours, I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!!
Twincerely,
Theresa Koubek
