We have delighted in sharing the events and activities that make our club unique. We have felt challenged to constantly evolve the publication and to push ourselves further.

We thank each of you for the opportunity. Sam and I would also like to thank all of you who have contributed articles, photographs, and anec- dotes. We would like to extend special acknowledgment to Linda Wright, Kasi Hardy, Ashley Sukalski, and Jan Hine for editing expertise. We would like to thank our successors, Jenny and Scott Bailey. They have served as our editors-in-chief for the last year and will do a marvelous job. Last but never least, we would like to offer our respect and gratitude to CeCe Stoldt for allowing us to publish her marvelous photography. May everyone be blessed with a peaceful holiday season and a fortuitous new year. ~ Jennifer and Sam Grant 2
