BROADCAST NEWS FLASH - Check your local NBC affiliate for the exact broadcast time of their showing of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. The movie is schedule for broadcast on Saturday, December 14th and again on Tuesday, December 24th on Christmas Eve. I do not want you to miss it! I know there is at least one Texas member who has never seen this movie.... I will not mention any names, but it was announced at Installation in May! Lately she has been seen with a crown...
BTW...The count is increasing...; I have already watched IAWL four times and White Christmas twice on my iPod since the November Board Meeting. No telling how many more times I will watch them before we get to Christmas! And I am so excited as I finally get to see the "White Christmas The Musical" at Fair Park in Dallas just after Christmas on my sister's birthday... the 28th... Happy Birthday Nancy! Nancy's favorite Christmas movie is "White Christmas". This means a good deal as I was hospitalized for emergency surgery in December 2011 and missed the production. I am so excited! Just like my ability to recite the lines from IAWL, Nancy, Holly, and I can recite the lines and sing the songs from "White Christmas"...
The IAWL Trivia Question for the week - What actor had a starring role in both IAWL and the movie showing on the marquee for the Bijou Theater in Bedford Falls? What was the name of that movie? I thought it was really interesting that this actor was in both productions! Clue? Clothing and Real Estate! Did you guess?
"Be One, Get One... BOGO" Be a member and get a member is the theme for the membership drive announce by ESA Headquarters and Susanne Dullack earlier in November. The ESA website has more information about the pluses of this campaign and how to sign a commitment card for pledging a new member. If you do this, you get a special BOGO button to wear. I signed a card. You should as well. Check out the ESA website. There is always a wealth of information there!
Do not forget, our IC Representative for our Annual May 2014 is… Sandy Alexander, IC Treasurer 2013-2014. Please send her greetings over the next several months.

With all the events, happenings, stressors of the Holiday Season, it sometimes is difficult to stay positive. I found this “wee” write-up on staying positive… “Often times our path seems to be filled with roadblocks, and we wonder why life is so difficult. Things happen that leave us feeling as though we have little control over our circumstances. This is a time to remember that hope is a gift we can give ourselves…. When we choose this attitude and tap into our inner reserves, we are rewarded with the knowledge of what we have learned. The decision to look forward, stay positive, and remain hopeful is a key that unlocks the door to possibilities, and, when shared, returns to renew the spirit… Hope is believing that miracles are positive!” (Marci, 2013)
Remember to send in your registration for the February State Council Board Meeting to District 11. District 11 has arranged for a great entrance fee to tour the newly opened Presidential Library on SMU. When I went to IC Convention in Little Rock, the Peabody Hotel was right next to the Presidential Library there. I always regretted that Joyce and I did not take the chance to go. In addition, when I was visiting with a few districts this fall, we talked about what a great opportunity it could be to go and see... So sign up and join me, Holly, Jon, Joyce and a host of others to take the tour to see what it is all about! So get that Registration sent in! District 11 is waiting to hear from you! I am looking forward to seeing you there... No excuses... No holidays to contend with, just a WONDERFUL opportunity to visit with your Texas Sisters and see the local sights, attractions, and shopping opportunities.
This coming weekend, weather permitting, I am traveling to District 4 to visit our Texas Sisters in San Antonio! I'll give a report next week of my wintery travels!
Convention City has asked me to pass along this directive when submitting your checks for May 2014 Convention Registration. Checks must be made out exactly like this – “Texas ESA State Convention”. The financial institution requires this to process the checks into the Convention City bank account. District Presidents; please pass this requirement onto the members of your district. A corrected form has been submitted for posting on the Web Site and in the TESAN.
