Great
Reminders
By Lana
Walker-Helmuth, Managing Editor
As I look at my computer screen with a case of editor's block, I turn my attention to my inspirational wall calendar. "The greatest responsibility an individual assumes is to oneself," it states. The backdrop shows a rock climber in a precarious spread eagle between jutting rocks. His life clearly is in his own hands. Walter Hanig's article this month is a perfect example of this truth. [See President's Podium.]
I appreciate
reminders like that: I hold the key to my future. The new year, 2003,
is only days away. Many will use this time to reflect on their lives and
make resolutions. If you're like me, you may find it easy to set a goal
but oh-so-hard to achieve it. I recommend a great book that explains from
a brain development perspective why this happens and what to do about
it—The Pathfinder by Nicholas Lore. It's the most informative
book I've read in a long time on this subject.
Open Volunteer Positions
This announcement
is in the Meeting Review, but it bears repeating
here. The San Diego chapter is looking for a member to volunteer as Vice
President of Programs. This position requires you to arrange three chapter
meeting programs (March, April, and May 2003). You'll also need to write
a brief meeting announcement for the chapter newsletter (January through
June) and the Web site, and prepare e-mails to chapter members announcing
the meetings (January through June). If you're interested in this opportunity,
contact Walter Hanig at wdhanig@alumni.rice.edu.
The chapter also needs someone to temporarily send chapter e-mail announcements. The volunteer needs to have access to an ISP that allows large mailings. If you can help, contact Lance-Robert at lance.robert@tarari.com. Also, if you aren't receiving chapter e-mails or have recently changed your e-mail address, let Lance know.
Happy Holidays!
