Not much Americanism just hope for the new year:
Here wishing you all a Happy New Year!! One of America's greatest traditions is the "dropping" of the Ball in Times Square, in the City of Manhattan, New York City. With i the singing of Auld Lang Syne. I fee that it is a true sign of Americanism to bid good bye to the old year and wishing for a truly Happy New Year. To me it means recalling of old friendships not to be forgotten. A tradition of not forgetting but to start anew. Wiping the slate of bad memories and starting with a fresh clean slate. A time to create new and wonderful memories with friends and loved ones- a time to be happy!! I mean look at all the people with different nationalities, religions, and races with one goal in mind to be happy and start a new year with hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow. I for one would like for that to be how we all approach the new year - with optimism for a prosperous year filled with happiness and love, a time to forgive and forget. One cannot be truly happy if they bring unhappy memories with them to the new year. My wish for the Viera Elks to unite in understanding we are a fellowship and forgive and fort bad memories and create new good memories for the new year. Maybe some might wonder what this has to do with Americanism ? We are a nation of different dreams and backgrounds, but the one dream that we share is the American Dream - to live together in peace, happiness and brotherhood, and share a love of country. I wish you all the happiness you can bear and just enough sorrow for you to know the difference. God Bless you all in the New Year,
God Bless all of our fellow Elks, and God Bless America!
Fraternally,
