Community outreach: What does it look like?Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D.
Much of our American lifestyle centers about being involved in some form of community outreach. It is reflective of what it means to help others, caring, show-ing compassion, being good neighbors, stewardship, reli-gious faith and following the golden rule. Today, every as-pect of our modern society is being impacted by one or more forms of outreach and in many situations is playing a vital role in keeping indi-viduals and families alive.
In this 21st Century many organizations, education-al institutions, businesses, military, agencies, and faith based institutions are actively engaged in doing some kind of outreach. Regardless of the size of the city, town-ship, village, community or neighborhood, community outreach is occurring. In ad-dition, billions of dollars are spent annually, both from public and private sources to provide these kinds of pro-grams, events and activities.Making a difference
Outreach is interwoven into the social fabric of
American life and is defined as “the act or process of reaching out.” In modern terms it has a much broader meaning and includes an ac-tivity to provide services to populations who might not otherwise have access to those services. In another sense, it means going beyond oneself to see how to help others, filling a need and in-creasing the awareness.
Today, numerous non-profits, churches, businesses, and nongovernmental or-ganizations are filling in the gaps of in government ser-vices. Outreach activities fall into one of four categories including those that are un-dertaken in homes (i.e., home health care), public and tar-geting of individuals (i.e., free medical clinics), public or private targeting of orga-nizations (i.e., foundational giving) and mobile or satellite (i.e., meals on wheels). Ad-ditionally, numerous agen-cies and initiatives focus on youth, homelessness, health care, shelters, foster care, food banks, feeding kitchens, crime prevention, and job training centers, and reentry
for those incarcerated. But true outreach goes be-
yond addressing merely sur-face needs…but also looks at the root causes; it is built around collaboration with those on the grass root level to maximize impact. In ad-dition, various methods are used to get the word out about these programs in-cluding advertising, leaflets, newsletters, churches, librar-ies, markets, and word of mouth. A brave new world
The development and im-plementation of community outreach programs contin-ues in the 21st Century to be reflective of what any good society does in taking care of its citizens. It’s a way to help those who are falling through the cracks to find a place to stay, a hot meal, employment opportunity, clothing and someone to share their sto-ries. Outreach can provide a way for so many to find their way in a complex world and to figure it out. It’s a way for those who have made it to begin giving back and to help others less fortunate. It’s a way for a nation to demon-
strate to the world that char-ity begins at home and then spreads aboard.
Truly noteworthy outreach programs are designed to last and to be a supplement to existing services. They are designed, staffed and funded to get into those areas and communities that are out of the main stream of society. The critical questions as we go forward include: Are we doing enough? Why is there so much need? What is the measurable impact? What are the real costs? Have we fallen in meeting our obliga-tions or is this an indicator of a breakdown of a good society? Remember, “You make a living by what you get; you make a life by what you give.”

Being Frank By Frank James IV
Let it all goThe year 2012 is
over and the New Year 2013 is upon us. What will people do? Will people be-gin the New Year with a blank slate or will people carry old problems into the New Year? The bringing of old prob-lems into new times has gone on for the past several centu-ries. The results vary depending on who you ask or how you look at things. Since 2012 is over why not try something dif-ferent and leave 2012’s prob-lems in 2012? Why not let it all go and move into 2013 free?
The ending of 2012 was filled with untold tragedies. You had suicide murders in sports and school shootings in suburb areas. 2012 ended in a way that would trauma-tize the average person. Why bring such dire news and emotions into the New Year? Why keep reliving these atro-cious events over and over in your mind? Will punish-ing yourself mentally over anything change the past? Unless you are into sado-masochism then this mental abuse is useless.
The New Year should be a time to create new oppor-tunities in life. Many people are not able to change their careers but they can change their minds. For centuries the majority people have car-ried old problems with them year after year. There are some factions in the world that have carried supposed
slights or problems for de-cades. The question has to be asked: By carrying these issues throughout the years has anything changed?
One issue that needs to be left in 2012 is racism. Afri-can Americans need to leave that belief in 2012. Is there a such thing as racism in the world? Yes. Should people be a prisoner to the sup-posed evils of racism? No. For three centuries in North America alone, blacks have carried the burden of rac-ism. Has anything changed from the rolling over of this burden? Unless things change children will be born in 2013 and grow up angry over actions that happened in the 1960’s. Will this new generation of burden carri-ers change the abuse blacks faced in 1960? Is it possible that because the majority of African Americans won’t let racism go that racism thrives?
The more you resist some-thing the stronger that some-thing becomes. The longer you carry a burden the heavi-er the burden gets. Isn’t it time to let some of the bur-dens and outmoded ways of
thought go? What would people be giv-ing up by let-ting things like racism, trag-edies, and sa-distic thoughts go? What would people lose by leaving these types of mental para-sites in 2012 and going into 2013 mentally
free? The New Year is the per-
fect time for everyone to start over with a new blank page. Society as a whole seems to thrive on confu-sion. But do individuals thrive on confusion? Can the world keep rolling along on a diet of fear, anger and mental sickness? The answer is truly an individual perspec-tive. People will have to ask themselves: how do I want to live and think? There is no right or wrong answer be-cause no one can say what’s right for another. But ask yourself: what would I lose if I let it all go?

The 24 hour American massacre: From Newtown to ChicagoBy Russell Simmons
My deepest prayers go out to the victims and their families and all the people whose hearts were broken in Newtown. As a father of two beautiful girls, I can-not begin to understand the loss that so many feel in that small, Connecticut town. It is beyond rational comprehen-sion. I will continue to pray for those who have been touched by this tragedy and use any power I might have to help them heal.
This nation needs healing not just in Connecticut, but in every small town, big city and all fifty states that have been affected by senseless gun violence that has afflict-ed our country for decades. There is no time to wait un-til the next tragedy happens, because it already did.
Unfortunately, every day in America we have “mass shootings;” just most of them are not reported in the news. This is not a contest to measure the horror of any of these tragedies, but rather should be a wake-up call to address them once and for all. Not tomorrow. Not the day after tomorrow. TODAY.
There is an obvious break-ing point in a society, and we passed that a long time ago. Every other civilized country has created sensible laws that do not allow weapons of war to be in the hands of citizens. When we view a nightmare like the one in Newtown, let’s not see it in a vacuum, as the killing in this country has continued. Don’t let the 50 victims (kids) that may get shot in Chicago in any given
weekend (without national debate) die or be injured in vain either. Include them in your prayers and discussions, as they are human beings as well.
This is about guns of course; however mental health, lack of opportunity and other factors weigh in when we talk about the other half of the reason for these catastrophes. However, we can all agree that the rise in gun violence is a problem that we can work on together today.
I’m hopeful that we can begin a serious dialogue that will lead to action in gun re-form beginning with the re-instatement of the 1993 As-sault Weapons Ban passed by President Clinton. It was allowed to expire in 2004 by President Bush and it is time to bring it back. I im-plore President Obama to push for this piece of legisla-tion as quickly as he possible can. I have long admired the work of Mayor Mike Bloom-berg of New York City, and he has been a champion for gun reform. I join him in de-manding that all of our poli-ticians have a plan to save our babies. His work should lead the way, and President Obama should follow.
Now is the time for public outrage. Our president and every politician needs to hear our voices. When a seven year old is shot and killed in Newtown, Connecticut and a seven year old is shot and killed in Chicago, Illinois, the disease of violence that has plagued the United States of America must be cured.
After Newtown, beware fear-driven policy making By Melissa Harris-Perry
I was a panelist on an MS-NBC show during the noon hour of December 14. When the show began, we had in-formation about a school shooting in Connecticut. We believed there were three people hospitalized with non-life-threatening inju-ries and a gunman who had committed suicide. Scary stuff, but probably a story that would occupy our atten-tion for the proverbial fifteen minutes. But by the end of the hour, we’d heard reports that at least eighteen children under the age of 10 had been murdered in cold blood as they huddled in their class-rooms.
It was a brutal hour, and one I’ll never forget. We had come to one of those mo-ments by which we measure the end of an era: before the misery, grief and terror of this event, and after. Even as the initial reports came in,
those of us on the set called for action. We didn’t quite know what had happened, but we knew it was awful. Something must be done!
As the details of Adam Lanza’s murderous spree became clearer, many more Americans took up that call. In the first seventy-two hours after the massacre, 150,000 people signed a petition on the White House website calling for legislation limit-ing gun access. No previous topic on the site had ever received so much support. Something must be done!
During his remarks in Newtown on that Sunday evening, President Obama also spoke of the need to act. “In the coming weeks,” he said, “I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens, from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators, in an effort aimed at prevent-ing more tragedies like this.”
Though he declined to offer any policy specifics, it was clear the president also felt: something must be done!
This is because the New-town murders were not just tragic; they were an act of terrorism. The slain first-graders and their teachers were not targeted because of their national identity, as were the victims of the 9/11 attacks. They were not mur-dered because of their race,
as was the case in the de-cades of unchecked Ameri-can lynchings. They were not killed because of their religious beliefs, like the Sikh victims of a mass shooting in Wisconsin just a few months back. In fact, their undis-puted innocence and relative privilege are part of what makes their deaths so hor-rifying—so terrorizing. It is also what makes me nervous about the calls for action that
are on everyone’s lips, includ-ing mine.
After 9/11, we were caught in a state of national post-traumatic stress. We not only mourned having lost so many; we were terri-fied at the loss of our sense of security. On September 10, 2001, we knew we lived in a dangerous world. But we were Americans, and some things just don’t hap-pen here… until they do. On December 13, 2012, we knew we lived in a country where thousands of people are murdered by guns—30,000 in 2011 alone—but we thought young children attending schools in prosper-ous, peaceful communities were immune. Some things just don’t happen there. Until they do.
And this is the aspect of the tragedy that makes it so terrifying. It undermines our belief that there is a safe place to be, to live, to send

our kids to school. It is a bloody beacon of our inher-ent vulnerability. Nothing is harder to bear than that col-lective realization, so we feel we must act.
While I agree with the need for action, I also urge us to reflect before we act. Re-member what we did after 9/11? We let government of-ficials with their own agendas shape our ill-defined enemies into specific targets, some of which had no connection to the attacks. In our terror, far too many surrendered civil liberties by supporting the Patriot Act, ran our national economy aground by cheer-ing the war in Afghanistan, and damaged our status in the world by pushing “pre-emptive” aggression in Iraq.
If we’re not careful, we could end up repeating these
mistakes of trauma-laden, terror-driven policy-making.
Yes, we need common-sense gun legislation. No, we do not need a national regis-try of those with mental ill-nesses. Privacy and medical confidentiality must be pro-tected, but that is unlikely to happen in an environment where the public becomes convinced there’s a strong correlation between men-tal illness and gun violence, even if that link is tenuous or false. Yes, we need to address the pervasive violence in our communities. No, we do not need to limit or censor rap music, video games or vio-lent films. We can certainly stop supporting violence with our consumer dollars, but the impulse toward cen-sorship tends to have more deleterious effects than posi-tive ones. I’m not suggesting we do nothing. I’m suggest-ing that we recognize our current state of emotional trauma and act with caution, lest we worsen the very prob-lems we hope to ameliorate.
No modern thinker has contributed as much to our
understanding of the inscru-table realities of evil and ter-ror as Hannah Arendt. Writ-ing as a German Jew in the aftermath of the Holocaust, Arendt had a unique proxim-ity to existential vulnerability. Yet her observation of the Adolf Eichmann trial pro-duced not a polemic on the need to hold a small group of men responsible for their crimes, but rather an insight into the “banality of evil.”
“I was struck by a mani-fest shallowness in the doer which made it impossible to trace the incontestable evil of his deeds to any deeper level of roots or motives,” she later wrote in The New Yorker. “The deeds were monstrous, but the doer…was quite ordinary, common-place, and neither monstrous nor demonic.”
This is the insight we must cling to. Evil can emerge from routine actions, espe-cially when they’re motivated by fear and enacted in a haze of terror. Those young lives were cut short by guns that we allow to circulate legally. But nothing we do will bring the children back or ease our vulnerability. Yes, we must act. But we must act deliber-ately, or we risk compound-ing the evil we hope to eradi-cate.
More than a week later, we remain shaken by the horror brought to Sandy Hill Ele-mentary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The 20 children and 6 edu-cators slain there are the lat-est victims of America's re-lentless gun violence plague. Each week, 350 children and teens are killed or injured by guns-enough to fill 14 more classrooms of 25 each. To-day, one child or teen will experience gun violence ev-ery 30 minutes and die from it every 3 hours. What have we become as a people when even in the face of such sin and suffering, we continue to protect guns before children? Will the slaughter of six- and seven-year-old children final-ly bring us to our senses?
The President has con-vened a task force on gun violence. But whether or not real and lasting action is tak-en depends on citizens - on people of faith, on mothers, fathers, neighbors - holding political leaders to the fire. God has no other voices and votes and feet demanding justice and safety for chil-dren except ours. Our task is clear-we must be the force to demand that real and com-prehensive action be taken to end gun madness that is ter-rorizing our children and all

of us.Change will be very hard
but is necessary and possible. Funded by a $12 billion gun industry, the gun lobby re-sists even the smallest and easiest measures advanced to protect children's lives. A de-bate in Connecticut last year that could have saved lives at Sandy Hill Elementary if de-cided differently shows what we must and will overcome. In January of 2011, a lone gunman in Tucson, Arizona-armed with a semiautomatic pistol loaded with a maga-zine carrying 33 bullets-shot and killed six people includ-ing nine-year-old Christina Taylor-Green and injured eleven others including U.S. Representative Gabby Gif-fords. Two months later the Connecticut state legislature introduced a bill to ban such high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The Connecticut bill was tough; it would have made it illegal to have magazines with more than 10 bullets. People who already owned high-volume clips would have been required to turn them
over to law enforcement or send them out of state. Pos-session alone of 30 round magazines, like those used by Adam Lanza last Friday, would have been a felony.
Tragically, what happened next to the Connecticut bill is what has happened all too often to common-sense gun safety laws and regulations in America. The National Rifle Association stepped in: Connecticut legislators were inundated with 30,000 NRA-orchestrated emails and let-ters, 300 pro-gun activists at-tended a committee hearing to oppose it, and the bill died quickly.
May this lesson guide us all for the fight ahead. But fight we must however hard it is and as long as it takes and be unrelenting and un-yielding. With urgency and persistence, we must come together to educate and mo-bilize our communities to de-mand our lawmakers protect children, not guns. This es-sential step is crucial even as we also address other aspects of this epidemic, including the need for effective mental health services in America and a popular culture which glorifies and is soaked in gun violence.
Will you join with us in tak-ing a first step by signing an open letter to the President and Congress and demand that they protect children, not guns - now! Not another child should die or be injured because you and I did not act.

Community Baptist celebrates 35th Church AnniversaryWhat’s Happening?
The Community Baptist Church Family celebrated their 35th church anniversary on Friday, December 7, 2012 with a gala banquet at the Hilton Garden Inn and concluded on Sunday, December 9, 2012 with Rev. Kevin Patterson of Mt. Olive Baptist Church preaching the morning message. The Sunday afternoon message was preached by Rev. Don Darius Butler, Pastor of Tabernacle Community Baptist Church who was the invited special guest. Community Baptist Church of Greater Milwaukee was founded on December 9, 1977 in the home of Pastor Roy B. and Sis. Betty J. Nabors, along with four couples who elected Rev. Nabors pastor, and Rev. Roosevelt Savage, Sr., assistant
minister. The first worship service was held in the LaVarnway Boys and Girls Club, which was to be followed by worship service being held in five different locations. In 1982, Community church members were blessed with the edifice they occupy today at 2249 N. Sherman Blvd. Rev. Roy B. Nabors retired from Community on January 1, 2009. However, before retiring, Rev. Nabors selected Rev. Demetrius K. Williams and trained him for two years. And on January 2, 2009, Rev. Williams was named the second pastor in the church’s history. Rev. Williams is married to First Lady Robin Williams. They have two children, Demetria, 11 and Demetrius 9.

AAA Wisconsin offers important winter driving remindersWith the first major win-
ter storm having hit much of the state last week, AAA advises motorists to prepare themselves and their ve-hicles. Snow, wind and cold weather make driving condi-tions more difficult, especial-ly during the first big storm of the season as well as for teen drivers. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time, to monitor weather conditions and to follow ad-vice from authorities.
AAA recommends keep-ing emergency supplies in your vehicle, including a cell phone, ice scraper/brush, boots, gloves, blanket, flash-light, traction material, shov-el, jumper cables, reflective triangle and a first aid kit.
AAA also recommends if motorists become stranded, it is best to stay with the vehi-cle. If you can start your en-gine, run it only long enough to keep warm. Make sure the
exhaust pipe is snow-free.Defensive driving
When taking to the road during winter weather, re-member to drive with caution and eliminate distractions to help maintain your safety as well as that of others. AAA recommends the following tips for winter driving:
• Before starting out, re-move snow from the en-tire car so it doesn’t blow onto your windshield or the windshields of other drivers. Make sure your mirrors and
lights are clean. • Drive with your low-
beam headlights on. • Slow down when visibil-
ity and road conditions are impaired, and increase the following distance between vehicles.
• Watch for icy surfaces on bridges and intersections.
• Look farther ahead in traffic. Actions by other driv-ers will alert you to problems and give you extra seconds to react.
• When changing lanes,
avoid cutting in front of trucks, which need more time and distance than pas-senger vehicles to stop.
• Don't use cruise control in precipitation and freezing temperatures.
• Remember that four-wheel drive helps you to get going quicker, but it won't help you stop any faster.
• Apply constant, firm pressure to the pedal with anti-lock brakes. Vehicle preparation
Preparing for frigid weath-er conditions will help keep your vehicle on the road, ad-vises AAA.
• Check your battery strength. Faulty batteries cause more car starting prob-lems than any other factor. At 0 degrees, a good battery has 35 percent less starting power.
• Park your car in the ga-rage. If you have no garage, put a tarp over the hood or park protected from prevail-
ing winds. To keep doors from freezing shut, place a plastic trash bag between the door and the frame.
• Keep the fuel tank at least half-full to avoid fuel-line freeze-up.
AAA Wisconsin is part of The Auto Club Group (ACG), the second largest AAA club in North America. ACG and its affiliates provide membership, travel, insurance and financial services offerings to approximately 8.8 million members across 11 states and two U.S. territories, including Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Vir-gin Islands; most of Illinois and Minnesota; and a portion of Indi-ana. ACG belongs to the national AAA federation with nearly 53 million members in the United States and Canada and whose mission includes protecting and advancing freedom of mobility and improving traffic safety.
Making your New Year’s resolutions for fitness work in 2013By Josef Brandenburg
This is the time of year when people look within and think about how they want this year to be better than last year. No. 1 or No. 2 on nearly everyone’s list is some sort of New Year’s resolu-tion related to weight loss or fitness. Positive intentions are nice, but alone they are not enough. This is why 88 percent of people fail at their New Year’s resolutions.
Here are five strategies to make sure this year really is different:
1. Are you playing blind archery?
At my first archery lesson about eight years ago, my ex-cellent instructor was able to get me hitting the ring right
outside of the bull’s-eye con-sistently on day one. Just for fun, at the end of the lesson, I tried shooting with my eyes closed (I saw this in a movie). I missed by a lot (surprised?).
When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, most peo-ple are playing blind archery. They have goals like, “I’m going to eat better” or “I’m going to work out more this year.” These goals are just about as good as me think-ing, “I’m going to shoot this arrow over there” with my eyes closed. With vague reso-lutions, you’re going to miss.
Working out more be-comes “I will work out twice a week for one hour each” if you don’t normally do any-thing. Eating better becomes “I will not drink my calories.”
Good goals are set with
the acronym S-M-A-R-T. “S” is for specific.
2. How will you know? Create a measurable finish line. This is the “M” in S-M-A-R-T.
You need to attach a num-ber or at least answer a “yes” or “no” question about your goal. If you want to “get rid of this (while grabbing your belly roll),” how much small-er is a smaller belly for you? How big is your belly to start? How are you doing along the way? You don’t want to leave this up to your eye or your feelings because they change like the wind, leaving you depressed when you are do-ing great (losing inches), or happy when you are going in reverse. The numbers have it.
3. Mission impossible? The “A” in S-M-A-R-T is for attainable.
Do you aspire to look like somebody in a magazine? Do you think you need to look just like them to be happy?
Then you’re going to have a terrible year because those models don’t even look like that in real life.
Don’t set yourself up for failure. This is not at all to say that you should resign yourself to a life of muf-fin tops. Just remember that there is a very big difference between being able to go to a pool and feel great about yourself in your swimwear and looking like the person who professionally models that swimwear.
4. Does it matter? Rel-evant is the “R” in S-M-A-R-T.
“Lose weight” is actu-ally completely irrelevant 99 percent of the time. People want to lose fat, but they weigh themselves on a scale to check progress. Scales tell weight, but not fat, nor how you look in or out of clothes. Weight and body mass in-dex are popular measures because they are cheap and easy, not because they’re use-ful when it comes to body composition (how you look naked). We have a member who started with us wearing a size 12, and one year later is wearing a size 6, but she weighs essentially the same on the scale. Did she fail?
5. What’s the deadline? The “T” in S-M-A-R-T is time bound.
Just because it’s a New Year’s resolution doesn’t mean you need a year to achieve it, nor that you need to commit to a given behav-ior for an entire year. In fact, one-year goals for weight loss and fitness usually lead to procrastination because you have an entire year to get it done, so why not wait until tomorrow to get started.

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial
education programs
Resolve to be financially secure in 2013When it comes to making
New Year’s resolutions, get-ting into good shape finan-cially ranks right up there with losing weight and eat-ing healthier. All three goals require discipline and plan-ning; and, as you’ve no doubt experienced, it’s not unusual to encounter setbacks along the way.
Don’t let losing a minor battle here or there convince you to surrender on the big-ger war. You’ll probably have more success if you start out taking small steps, learning from your mistakes and gain-ing momentum as you go.
Here are a few suggestions for better managing your personal finances in the New Year:
The first step on the road to financial health is to create a budget you can live with. If you’re new to budgeting or haven’t been successful in the past, start slowly. For a few months write down every cent you spend: mort-gage/rent, utilities, food, gas, medical copayments, credit card interest – the works. You’ll be surprised where
your money goes.At the same time, compare
money coming in (income) to money going out (expens-es). If you’re just breaking even or losing money each month, you need to boost your income and/or aggres-sively trim spending. Try these strategies:
• Pay bills on time and send at least the minimum amount due. You’ll avoid late fees and related interest rate in-creases; plus, you’ll improve your credit score.
• Balance your checking account regularly and use in-network ATMs to avoid overdrafts and fees.
• If your employer offers flexible spending accounts, use them to pay health and dependent care expenses with pretax dollars.
• Raise insurance deduct-ibles and shop around for better rates.
Once you start reducing expenses, use the savings to pay down debts more quick-ly. Try making a table of all outstanding credit card and loan balances and their cor-responding interest rates.
Then, each month pay the minimum amount due on each – except pay as much as possible on the account with the highest interest rate. Once that one’s paid off, move to the next-highest rate account and so on.
Another smart move is to have an emergency fund in case of financial upheaval (layoff, medical emergen-cy, unexpected car repairs, etc.) Ideally you should save enough to cover six months’
of expenses, but don’t be discouraged if that sounds insurmountable: Start slowly by saving a few dollars each week. You won’t miss it and your little nest egg might just save you from needing an ex-pensive short-term loan to cover an unplanned bill.
If something terrible hap-pened to you, would your family be protected finan-cially? Make sure you have a valid will, durable power of attorney, health care proxy
and living will. Numerous books, online articles and sample forms are available if you want to draft them your-self, but you should probably review your documents with a financial advisor or attor-ney to avoid potential legal problems. Also, make sure you have adequate life and disability insurance.
It’s debatable how much Social Security will be able to contribute toward your retirement income in com-ing decades, so if you’re not already participating in your employer’s 401(k) plan or an IRA, make that one of your top financial resolutions.
Sticking to resolutions is never easy – if it were, we’d already be doing them. But striving to improve your fi-nancial situation now will pay off big-time down the road.

2013 resolutions for fitness(Continued from pg. 11)
Instead, think about where you want to be in a year, and then work backwards to fig-
ure out what that means in six months, three months, one month, one week and one day. If you don’t have anything specific to do right now, it’s usually too over-whelming to do anything about a huge one-year reso-lution.

FAMILY FEATURES
The holidays are the perfect time to gather withyour nearest and dearest to create lastingmemories. But who says you have to followthe same traditions as in years past? For a
fresh take on the holidays, celebrate with a Spanish-inspired feast of seafood.
Seafood is a culinary mainstay in various parts ofSpain, and it’s a big part of Nochebuena celebrations.Nochebuena is the name Spaniards give to ChristmasEve, but you can enjoy a Nochebuena-style dinner anytime during the holidays with these delicious recipesfrom Martín Códax Winery in Rias Baixas, Spain.Here’s how:n Start off with a beautiful Lobster Salad with
Asparagus Herb Mayonnaise. It’s easier than youthink to season your favorite mayonnaise and use itto top steamed lobster, and it’s an impressive way tostart a meal.
n Serve this simple, yet elegant, Pan-Seared Cod Fishon top of Crispy Bacon Mashed Potatoes, then top itall off with a savory White Bean and Olive Tapenade. These dishes are perfect to pair with an Albariño, like
the one from Martín Códax, a crisp, elegant and drywhite wine that is often dubbed the “wine of the sea,”due to its natural complement to seafood. Learn more atwww.martincodaxwines.com.

AcknowledgementPerhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair;
Perhaps you sent a fl oral piece, if so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all; just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.
Psalms 121I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

In MemoryA thousand times we needed you; a thousand times we cried.If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.A heart of gold stopped beating—two twinkling eyes closed to rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.Never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
