Dear NeahKahNie Neighbors and Friends:

As the year comes to a close, I’d like to say what a wonderful neighborhood we live in. Full time or part-time, we all enjoy our little part of the coast to its fullest. Thanks to my fellow board members and all volunteers who have gladly agreed throughout the year to tote tables, shake rugs, set-up trees, cut sandwiches, make salads,  tend bar, haul everything that needed hauling, sort recycling, buy booze, fluff tablecloths, clean up and push brooms, all the while being kind hearted and generous with time and energy. Thanks to all of you who have showed-up (expected and unexpected) to assist. Our events could not have succeeded without your help.

We find ourselves in wonderful shape as an organization. The books continue to balance and our membership list continues to grow. We have welcomed new-comers and renewed longtime friendships this year, and it’s been done with style and grace. It is a heartwarming feeling to know we are growing in numbers and in fellowship.

I am honored to serve as your President, and my fellow board members share my enthusiasm. What a pleasure it is to be involved with such a positive organization. The success of our Summer Picnic and our Winter Holiday Party is because of your membership support. In 2015, please continue to participate with the Club, and remember…if you have an idea you’d like to share, a comment you’d like to make or an offer to volunteer, I can be reached at tpickerel@gmail.com or my local phone: (503) 368-4055.

As we look forward a new year: please pay your 2015 dues promptly, put the dates of the gatherings on your calendar, and enjoy your fellow “Neah-Kah-Nie-ites” in our little part of life on the best part of the Oregon Coast.

Tori L Pickerel – President – 2014
