Transitions are a constant in life. Some are easier than others--some are
welcome--some force us to re-examine our priorities and life choices. Changes are opportunities for new people to
posit new ideas and new ways of looking at existing institutions. This edition of the newsletter is the last for
this season and my last time to communicate with all of you via the
newsletter. It has been my pleasure to
serve as your president for the past two years and, in the process, have come
to appreciate the significance of this organization and the dedication of so
many of its members in the larger Evergreen community. Board meetings were a time for promoting
the mission of the organization by looking for ways to improve how we serve
our constituency and investigating concerns that problems existed that needed
to be addressed. And it was a time to
enjoy the camaraderie of a dedicated group of people who shared a common
commitment to serve their community.
I’ve made new friends in the process and will treasure this experience
as I look forward to handing over the duties to someone new. It is also the last edition to be published by
Diane Purdy who will be relinquishing her duties as editor to pursue other
interests. I want to take this
opportunity to specifically thank Diane for her work on behalf of Newcomers
for the past 4 years. Each edition contained
her special artistic touches. I always
appreciated her attention to these details that made the product interesting
and appealing. In the next weeks the board will be meeting to
wrap up this year and prepare the new board members for their term of office.
We hope to make their transition as
seamless as possible. And then we have
the Newcomer grand finale at The Fort. I look forward to meeting many of you at
this special year end event. LaDona Thomas Vincent President |

moderate four-plus mile hikes. Destinations
and specifics are announced weekly via e-mail. April is typically a month where you can
expect to find many different trail conditions, so be prepared with snowshoes
and Yak Tracks. And later when the
snow finally retreats, you won’t want to miss the subsequent wildflower
season. Hope to see you soon. |
