  2. President’s Message By Renae Paulson, RN January 1, 2010 Dear RNS Members and Friends, May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain, But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes: Not by making you sturdy to travel any path; Not by taking hardships from you, But by taking fear from your heart: Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows; Not by making your life always pleasant, But by showing you when people and their causes need you most, And by making you anxious to be there to help. God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead. As I reflect on 2009, I am encouraged by the graciousness and support of so many in our organization. I feel so blessed for the years that I have been able to serve on the RNS Board of Directors. I am pleased to announce the outcome of your vote for the RNS awards: Thomas Gucker Award Margaret Zimmerman Physician of the Year Dr. Ann Vasile Non-Profit Award Goodwill Gym in Orange County RNS Cares Award Convalescent Aide Society & Senior Care Network The recipients will be notified this month and we hope to feature them at one of our meetings early in 2010. Make plans now to come to the RNS meetings in 2010 and mark your calendar for the 4st Thursday of every month to attend the RNS meeting. I would like to thank our December speaker, Basia Christ, for her informative and interactive meeting demonstrating techniques that will help each one of us in marketing ourselves. My hearty thanks to all of you who came out for our Holiday meeting and joined in the festivities. What joy and fun we had with the gift exchange and centerpiece giveaway. “Thank you” to the following vendors for their continuing generosity. Francine Aron of Casa Colina, Sharon Cason of CCHN, Susan Gomez of Care Meridian, Patty Mendez of PMSI, Michelle Chavez of Economy Transport, Lori Bremels of CNS, Dale Prince from Assured Home Care, and Liza Salazar of New Start.
