Season's Greetings from the New York Wellesley Club
Happy Holidays from the New York Wellesley Club! This fall has been exciting for the NYWC. Nearly 160 alumnae have joined as dues-paying members, compared with 108 members during the 2010-11 year. We are very close to meeting our goal of growing to 200 members this year.
On Wednesday, December 7, over 100 alumnae from the classes of 1956 to 2011 gathered at the home of Alice Yurke '84 for the annual holiday party. The party was a wonderful opportunity for alumnae to network and share memories of their time at Wellesley. To view more photos of this event, visit the NYWC Facebook page.
This holiday season, we hope you will consider joining the New York Wellesley Club. Membership dues help us offer free events that strengthen the NYC alumnae community. Wondering whether your membership is current? Visit the NYWC web site or email Brooke Bryant, Membership Chair (brooke.bryant@gmail.com).
On behalf of the NYWC, thanks for your support and involvement! Our best wishes for a happy and peaceful holiday season.

Season's Greetings
Season's Greetings from the
National Medical Association
Happy Holidays!
On behalf of the NMA Board of Trustees and your national office staff, we wish you and yours all the pleasures of the holidays-filled with warmth and blessed by peace.
I hope each of you will take time during this season to remember the reason, reflect on this wondrous year and the great year 2011 promises to become. This year was filled with milestones, including the passage and signing into law, the Affordable Health Care Act, Health Information Technology adoption,which is a key priority for the NMA given its potential to improve care coordination, reduce errors, health outcomes, and the recent "doctor fix" in Medicare payments.
I encourage you to spend your holidays enjoying he company of family and friends reverencing the past, appreciating the present and planning for an exciting new year. In addition we should heed the words of Dr. Lee Beers "as professionals who advocate for healthy individuals and families. We must model healthy behaviors in our own lives through care and attention to ourselves and our families/ friends balanced against the care and attention we give to our patients."
Please remember to send greetings to our national office staff. Without their support, NMA would not be able to continue its day to day operations and serve you, our valued member.
In the spirit of the founders who created this great organization over 100 years ago, NMA needs you and thanks you. NMA is you.
Together we can make it better
Yours in the NMA,
Leonard Weather, Jr., R.Ph., M.D.
