2009 SAMCAR Installation event program

“None of us is better than all of us”

Saturday 10 January 2009 Hyatt Regency SFO

Message from your Incoming 2009 President

Olivia Edwards

The more membership involvement, the more benefits we create for all 3,100 of us.

Please join me in 2009 to achieve the goal to increase membership involvement by 25%. Every one of us can make a difference by inviting one person to attend our events, our tour meetings, to join a committee and to participate. Join with us. We’re more than membership fees. We want your hearts, your souls and your hands... Your full participation! Most of our volunteers are here because someone reached out and asked them to. My challenge to you this year is: “Give someone the opportunity to say yes...” Remember, none of us is better than all of us. Share your contagious enthusiasm. It is not your affiliation that makes the difference. It is your level of involvement. It is your participation that will make all the difference.

The Michael Haigh Team JP Morgan/Chase Bank N.A. SLOW DANCE* Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.

Don’t dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day On the fly?

When you ask “How are you?”

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head?

You’d better slow down Don’t dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

Ever told your child, We’ll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste, Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say “Hi”?

You’d better slow down.

Don’t dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift...

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over.
