Endings and Beginnings

ach December I reﬂect with melancholy on the previous 12 months and
look forward to the next year with anticipation. The end of the year at
CAI-NE marks the transition of many chapter volunteers from leadership roles on committees and boards - people whom I have had the
privilege to closely work with on many chapter programs and events.
In addition, I reﬂect with admiration and thanks to the countless volunteers
around the chapter who have been there at our every request, no matter how
big or small, in support of numerous programs and events hosted in our now
ﬁve CAI-NE chapter states of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, and Vermont. To all of them, the chapter is grateful for their service and
thanks them for their commitment and the hours they have dedicated to CAI
and the New England chapter.
We eagerly await the new year and look forward to greeting new volunteers
and welcoming back many more who continue to give so much to the chapter. And while the road is not always smooth and 2014 is sure to bring with
it bumps along the way, I remain conﬁdent that the New England chapter -
thanks to the contributions of many - will continue to be one of the largest
and most respected chapters in the country.
Around this time, many of us contemplate resolutions for the coming year. I
can think of no better resolution than one by Ben Franklin, a founding father of
the United States: "Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and
let every new year ﬁnd you a better man."
I wish you all happy holidays and a prosperous new year.
