President's Letter

Happy Holidays! This is my favorite time of the year. I love the spirit of the season. I hope you take time to enjoy the holidays and friends and family.

I was very disappointed Dancing through the Decades was canceled due to low attendance, but I appreciate all the hard work Betsy Woolums and her team spent planning this event. Thank you!

We have two special events planned for December at the Minuteman Club. The first, Breakfast with Santa, on December 5, is a family event for the entire Hanscom community. This is a favorite of children and parents alike, with Magic Dave Hall, crafts for the children; and, of course, Santa. Don’t forget your camera! Thank you to Saundra Davis for chairing this event and to her team of volunteers for all their hard work. Second, our Holiday Tea, on December 18, will feature relaxing holiday music by professional harpist Lucia Stavros. There will be an optional ornament exchange at this event. If you would like to participate, please bring a small wrapped ornament.

With the New Year comes the return of our very popular Murder Mystery Dinner Theater, so mark your calendars for January 30. If you like to act or provide support behind the scenes, please contact Betsy Woolums or Janet Cooley. I am thrilled Janet and Bill Cooley have stepped up to direct the play. We will be casting the play in December and begin rehearsals in January.

In addition, thank you to Denise Richardson for finalizing the membership directory. If you have not received your directory, please contact her at 781-538-6440. And, thank you to Cindy Canavan and Glynis Olson for updating the scholarship applications. They will be available in January.

Have a happy and safe New Year!

Jackie
