From the President:

December 28, 2005.

Dear Members and Friends,

As I sit here thinking about my grandchildren, who I just took to the airport to return home to their mother, it causes me to reflect on all of the changes that have happened this past year: babies born, parents' deaths, moves to different states. This has been a year of movement for us all. And, what is to become of this New Year? Will it be better, OR worse? The baby-boomer generation is turning 60 this year and none of us like it very much, but then neither are the other generations behind us.

What do you want for yourself this New Year? What do you want for IWVC for this year? Your board of directors is here for you and we will do anything for you if you just ask.

Our program this month has been arranged for you by member Mary Lou Scott. The Oxnard Rescue Mission will give us a program on their program. Their mission has changed over the years. Now there are so many homeless families out there, where just a few years ago you did not see this. It was mainly men and maybe a few women. I don't know that the times are changing for the better (did I just sound like my mother?).

I will not be at this coming meeting because I am once again in Las Vegas at a conference for my other life. I know this will be a great meeting, so enjoy!

Yours in fellowship,
Ruth Uridel, CPIW.

MENTAL CONDITIONING.

Survival is all a matter of outlook, according to Army Special Forces instructor Gordon Smith. He says, "If you have a guy [or gal - editor] with all the survival training in the world who has a negative attitude and a guy who doesn't have a clue but has a positive attitude, I guarantee you that the one with the positive attitude is coming out of the woods alive.

Police Log.

This is a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida:

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. For the same reason she did not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs in the front seat.

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.

Moral of the story? If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it memorable.
