Companions,

            I trust that the new year finds each and every one of you with Health and Happiness for the new year.  This is the time of the year that we can reflect with pride and honor about our past and look forward with hope and ambition for a great year.

Our chapter will have the homecoming for our DDGHP at our January Stated Convocation.  Rt Ex Ralph Woodrow will share the highlights for the new Capitular Year.

The next three months will be busy for our chapter.  Activity highlights include the “Festival of Rites” and the Grand High Priest visit.

I look forward to seeing each and everyone supporting our chapter activities.  Please remember with the winter season upon us, that your safety is paramount.  If you need a ride or can not make an event, please do not hesitate to contact me.  It is important for everyone to stay safe during the inclement weather.

Wishing everyone a prosperous 2009.

Laugh of the month:
If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics this may bring a tear to your eyes. This great question and answer is from the days when "Hollywood Squares" game show responses were spontaneous and clever, not scripted, Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions

 Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be?

A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.

 

From the editor:

            Companions as I have stated previously, my access to less expensive copy services has come to an end. While I used to make copies for 5 cents, the cost now is 14 cents. Currently 13 members receive copies via e-mail. We also post the newsletter to www.varorkrite.org If you would like to join the electronic distribution, either via e-mail or thru the web, please contact me.

 Educational point:

Recognizing a stroke

Ask a suspected stroke victim to:

                Smile

            Talk. Speak a simple sentence

                Raise both hands

            Stick out tongue. It should be straight not crooked or going to one side or the other.

Did You Know           

Chipmunk (also chipmuck) is an American English word,
first written chitmunk, that was borrowed from the Algonquian word atchitamon, meaning 'one who descends trees headlong'. It is a species of ground squirrel also called chipping squirrel, hackee, and striped squirrel. The first
record of the word in writing is around 1841, though chitmunk was written about in 1832.
