The Shop with a Cop Program took place on Sunday, December 3rd at the Target on Barrington Road. It was very successful. Approximately 14 children and their families were served. I was particularly impressed with the effort Target made. There were some children approaching the checkout with only practical items such as boots and coats. Target management sent the children back to shop after deciding to pay for the footwear themselves.
The Gift Wrap gathering was held at Carla’s association clubhouse on December 10th at 5 p.m. CPAAAS members wrapped presents for those families that had been adopted by CPAAAS. Many thanks to Carla for arranging for the use of her association clubhouse.
As of this date, we still do not have a newsletter editor. For the time being, this monthly communiqué will serve as the newsletter.
I will try to include more than just a calendar. -After seven months on the job as corresponding secretary, I believe that I have a handle on this job. The lone exception still remains me and the internet.
About a month ago, Yahoo fixed their cc-bcc programs to once again allow sending this email to a group of one hundred at a time. I began to repopulate the lists from seven back to two. Somehow, in the process, I deleted the emails of all dues paying members. Once lost, there is no way to retrieve addresses from the address book. I thought I would freak out. Since then, though a variety of means, I have repopulated approximately 75 percent of the original listing. I am sending a first class letter to the remaining 25 percent and asking them to email me as soon as possible. If they help me with this, I should be back to full speed by early January. I suspect I will never hit the delete button ever again that relates to the address book. There were approximately thirty names of non-paying dues members in the email data bank. I will try to find their data and reenter it asap. –

The Fall 2006 CPA Class graduates on December 13th.
The graduates were provided with a folder containing pertinent CPAAAS information last week.
On behalf of CPAAAS, I have been volunteering to bring food to elderly shut-ins as part of the Meals on Wheels Program housed at the Barn in Schaumburg. At first, I was a little hesitant. Many of the recipients are lady seniors and entering their house by myself could have been problematic. As it turned out, my concerns were unwarranted. Many of the shut-ins would like me to sit and chat for the better part of the morning now that they know me some, but that is not possible. They are so appreciative to have food brought to them. If you would like to be placed on an “on call” list to help, let me know at GKClair@sbcglobal.net I am not needed every week and usually deliver to only two or three houses and am finished within an hour. Maps are provided prior to delivery.
Sincerely, Gary Clair,
CPAAAS Correspondence Secretary
