LEADER'S MESSAGE

Happy New Year, Kosmos Members!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. It was great seeing so many of our Kosmos friends at the Christmas Party! I want to give special thanks to Donna W., Carolyn W., Sheryl M., and Roger J. for their help in putting our party together.

With the new year here many of us plan goals to achieve for the year. But, if you are like me, as the days go by, we tend to let those goals slip by us, too. This year I have decided to make it simple.... "Try and be a better person to myself and to others." Also, I want to try and reflect more on the positives in my life.

January is the beginning of a new year with hopes of good things coming our way. But each day is a new beginning, a chance to choose what we want to do in our lives. I really hope this is a year filled with lots of good things for all of you.

—Sue R., Kosmos Leader

THE KOSMOS CHRISTMAS PARTY WAS FUN AND SUCCESSFUL

The Kosmos Annual Christmas Party, held at the Hampton Inn in Richland, and catered by the Back Alley BBQ Crew, turned out to be a fun afternoon for 41 Kosmos members and guests! Photos of the event are on the Kosmos Group Facebook page. Thanks, Linda M., for all the great pictures!

Restaurant gift cards of $25 each were won by six Kosmos members. Ten-dollar movie-theater gift cards were won by five members.

There were eight lucky winners of the lovely poinsettia centerpieces.

There were also lots of attractive Christmas ornaments for those participating in the Social Hour trivia about things they've done. Questions were posted on a board decorated by Sue R.'s daughter. For example, one question was "Have you flown in a helicopter?" The person(s) who could answer "yes" received an ornament!
