The twenty-eighth in a series of 48

October, can you believe that it is October already? It just seems as though, well, I think we all have been asking where the time has gone. In my case, too many hours spent at the office, that is where my time has gone. Never the less, with each and every passing year, there are more things for me to attend to and the days are just a bit shorter.

To me this is the time of year that marks the beginning of a new cycle. Summer has passed, we will shortly turn our clocks forward and the leaves are falling. Many of nature’s creatures have found a place to spend the winter and will begin their hibernation. It is easy for us to also become lethargic and settle into a slower pace with a more domestic approach to life. It is an effort to get out, even to those things that we enjoy.

This is just a gentle reminder not to forget to look at the calendar. You will discover an assortment of activities guaranteed to make the effort to get out of the house, worth while.

Looking ahead, this is the month for Delaware Valley Mensa’s annual Regional Gathering. This promises to be the best one yet. If you have not signed up to attend, do so now. If you have never attended an RG, this will be a good one with which to start. You will not be disappointed.

Looking into next year, DVM is celebrating a milestone anniversary. We are planning to celebrate all year long. The Ex Comm. is interested in “borrowing” any memorabilia you might have. Pictures are the most desirable item but anything will be very useful. Do review the calendars in the months ahead for special get togethers and make a point to help build a glorious future by celebrating your past.

As usual, I have rattled on so I will conclude here. But let me end with a thought. Many times we must look to a past when trying to predict a future. The stock market is a good example. The past of a given stock, although not guaranteeing anything, tends to provide a guidepost for its future. The same is true for DVM; we have a great future in store, just look at our past.
