Happy
New Year everyone! It is time for the CECPTA to look to the future! In
March a new slate of officers will be elected to serve for the 2004-2005
year. We begin planning for that election now. Included in this newsletter
(page 6) is an Officer Interest Form and descriptions of the jobs that need
to be filled. Please take a minute to look it over and see if any job interests
you. We always need new people to step forward and fill these positions.
Being on the board is exciting! You attend meetings, make decisions and
share your ideas on how to make the CECPTA better. You really get to be
creative and show off your talents. A nominating committee will be elected
in January to help fill the officer positions. If you have any questions
about a job, please feel free to ask me or any board member.

Adult Programs
"What you see it what you get!" by Debi Sementelli.
We
often spend 80% of our time and energy focusing on the 20% of any situation
that seems negative. In doing this, we lose sight of the 80% that is positive!
Doing this day after day with our spouses and children leaves everyone in
the family feeling unloved and unappreciated. Learn how to us selective
vision to create and environment where everyone feels belonging and significance,
two of the greatest human needs. Help audience remember why they had kids
in the first place!
Debi is an excellent speaker who also has other resources to offer.
