It is almost impossible to believe that another year has come and gone and here we are at the end of 2025 with Christmas a few days away, and the New Year fast approaching. I hope this past year has been a joyful one for you and yours, that you have had the opportunity to do all the things you planned, and that you and your loved ones enjoyed good health and happiness.
This is the time of year that many Councils step up and provide extra assistance to those less fortunate and many of our members assist at food banks, shelters, and senior’s complexes. If you have been able to help your community - thank you - our motto “People Helping People” starts with you.
Sadly, we have lost several members this past year, a bit of a sign of our aging membership. To those of you who will miss a friend or loved one this Christmas, may God bless you with peace, and I hope you will reflect on Christmases past and happier times you have shared.
The New Year promises to be a busy one for UCT North America, your Board of Directors are a hard-working group of dedicated people. We encourage you to log on to the website often, communicate with us when you have an idea or a suggestion, and if you have a friend who has not renewed their membership, help them get back on track.
I thank you for your continued support and from our house to yours - all the best.
Doug
Douglas G. Honeyford, PIP
Chairman of The Board
