Presidents Letter for December 2010

Presidents Letter for December 2010

Recently it was noticed what a diverse membership we enjoy in our Cadillac & LaSalle Club. Members include backgrounds in all religions including multiple forms of Christian, Jewish and even Buddhist. At this time of year all of these religions share similarities as they reflect on the highest ideals of their faiths and each seem to include the lighting of lights and candles in remembrance of the importance of the symbolism of light. Light is probably the greatest metaphor and symbol that we have. Our religions are saturated with the poetry of light symbolism.  In many, light reminds us of the enlightenment of our hearts and minds, may we all reflect in our hearts the great blessings of this season and also share in the love and lessons of our faiths. “Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.”Desiderata.

Like shining lights, thoughts of special people brighten the season and warm our hearts. The special people that I hold in my heart are those that have been met through the Cadillac & LaSalle Club.  I can’t thank the members more for their support of me and our club. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. My all of you enjoy the light and warmth of the joyous season and may we look forward to a great New Year in 2011.
