A Bles=
sed New
Year to all! May you al=
l be
safe, happy & healthy!
Another year has come and gone and five (or soooo̷= 0;) additional pounds later, it’s time to begin preparing for the New Year! Do you all have your New Year’s resolutions in check? <= /span>Not me, because I know ultimately, I will never follow through!
I’m sure you all feel as I do, grateful for the beautiful Christmas Party Mary & Lee gave us here at CCM. Too bad Dan & Bill couldn̵= 7;t have been here to enjoy it! Although, as most of you heard, they were laying on the beaches of Akumal soaking up the sun. No offense Mary & Lee, I might have enjoyed the SUN more!!
The month ahead will include, taking down all the Chri= stmas décors and getting ready for Valentine’s Day! Mary & I will be conducting an= nual inspections of smoke detectors and pipes (more details are included in this newsletter). And…the lo= ng wait for Spring begins!

A MESSAGE FROM MARY
![3DNic=](3D"News0109Final_files/image024.jpg")
Happy New Year every one. I really enjoyed the Christmas par=
ty and
I know everyone attending did also.
You are all very welcome for the party and goodie bags. It was our pleasure. Thanks also to everyone who sent us
cards and gifts. They were ve=
ry much
appreciated but not necessary. Thanks also to Terese, Kathy, Darlene and
Marshall for all their help setting up and tearing down I could not have do=
ne
it alone. The caterer does a =
great
job and I have reserved December 8, 2009 for our party next year, so we know
the food will be great again next year.&nb=
sp;
If you were not able to attend this year, mark the date on your cale=
ndar
now and plan on attending next year.
CRP’s will come out this month and I would like = to remind everyone that you should put your CRP in a safe place or file right away. I know the State does n= ot send out the refunds until August, but you can send it in now and still get= the refund in August. Because of = the amount of work involved with the CRP’s on our part, if you misplace it and request a duplicate later in the year you will be charged a $25 duplica= tion fee.
We will also be doing unit inspections this month to s= atisfy the City of West St. Paul’s Fire department. We will try to get them done all i= n one day on Monday January 19th.&nbs= p;
We will start on third floor in the 45 building, work = our way down and then start on third of the 55 and work until 5 PM. If we have to finish up the next d= ay, we will start on Tuesday the 20th about 1:30 and hopefully finish u= p in one hour. Thanks for your co-operation. You do not have= to be home for the inspections.
My mom and dad (Ed and Dee in #235 ) say “Hi, Me=
rry
Christmas and a Happy New Year” to all of you from
Till next month God Bless, Mary

For the funny bone
Do Blondes Really Have Mo= re Fun? Two bowling teams, one o= f all blondes and one of all brunettes, charter a double-decker bus for a weekend bowling tournament in Atlantic City.
The brunette team rides i= n the bottom of the bus and the blonde team rides on the top level. The brunette team down below is ha= ving a great time whooping it up, when one of them realizes she doesn’t hear anything from the blondes upstairs. She decides to go up and investigate.
When the brunette reaches= the top, she finds all the blondes frozen in fear, staring straight ahead at the road and clutching the seats in front of them. They all had white knuckles.
She says, “What the heck’s going on up here? We’re having a great time downstairs!”
One of the blondes looks = up and says to her, “Yeah, but you’ve got a driver!”
Arriving home from work a= t his usual hour of 5:00 PM, Bill discovered that his wife, Mabel, was having a v= ery bad day. Nothing he said or d= id seemed to be right. By 7:00 PM things had not changed, so he suggested he go outside, pretend he had just gotten home, and start all over again.&nbs= p; Mabel agreed.
Bill went outside, then c= ame back in and announced with a big smile: “Honey, I’m home!”
“And just where hav= e you been?” Mabel replied sharply. “It’s after seven o’clock!”
Wisdom From Seniors
Honey is a great remedy for= skin blemishes. Just cover the ble= mish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. The honey kills the bacteria and s= peeds healing. It works overnight.<= /p>
Postal Truck
Every Wednesday from 11:10 = AM until 11:25 AM a postal truck is in front of the 45 building to handle all your postal requests.
Go Vikings!
