ARE YOU COVERED?
ANNUAL INSURANCE REMINDER
Last year’s Board met with the insurance agent
who underwrites the policy that covers our organization. As a result of
that discussion, each year we remind our club members of the portion of our
coverage that involves our membership. Many of our activities are held in
homes and many activities are risk-free. There are some functions that
could pose liability issues; therefore we felt it important that members be
fully informed as to the coverage our policy provides. While we are making no recommendations as to what kind of riders
are necessary, those of you who regularly host groups in your homes may want to
revisit your individual policies to make sure you have the coverage you are
most comfortable with.
For questions or
input about this subject, please contact

PRESIDENT’S
NOTES Piercingly blue skies, insistent elk trumpeting, cool
mornings that surprise you with their clarity -- evidence that fall has
arrived in This year the season’s beauty has set me to thinking about the gifts of autumn. For example, for those of us on the far side of middle age, the gloriously intense color of the season reflects the equally glorious richness that the years add to our lives. The green of spring’s youth, while a beauty much welcomed by the winter-weary, isn’t the best of life after all. Instead, the lush green leaves of spring are even more strikingly gorgeous as they take on their rich, burnished autumnal hues. And just as it takes time to bring the beautiful changes of color to the leaves, time offers us changes also. Where we live, what we do with our days, who our friends are and, yes, how we look—all of these change over the years. While some of these alterations may be less than satisfying, perhaps even painful, some of these changes bring unexpected treasures into our lives. John and I moved to Evergreen four years ago and, like you, we love the area and bask in the beauty and opportunities of the area. But for me, one of the greatest treasures this change in our lives has brought is the people I have met. I’m developing some wonderful friendships, some of which I hope continue for our duration on earth. With time, life’s ongoing changes in our lives will bring even more substance and breadth to these friendships, and I relish that thought. Interestingly, I’ve met all of these people through Newcomers. What a wonderful mission for Evergreen Newcomers Club, to help bring this treasure to others! Gwen Haile,

In mid-Novemberand will email the list to all who registered. The group will have its first outing on the Wed. after Thanks-giving (depending on snow conditions). The plan is to meet every Wed. morning at 8:15 at Bergen RTD and car pool to the respective ski areas. It would be helpful if everyone who expects to attend on Wed. would email the group the preceding Tues. Think snow. |
