On behalf of the Clary Lake Association Board I’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Happy Holidays!

It’s that time of year again…endings and beginnings… when we look to our traditions and perhaps in some cases, reassess, taking stock as to whether or not they still work for us in the same ways in these strange times. The ‘harvest of 25’ is in and what prep are we to attend to for 2026? Whether religious or secular around Christmas and Hanukkah, it certainly is a season of light and giving and abundance for many of us; and as always, there are so many who do without. May our generosity and kindness spread beyond the borders of our homes and communities. May we be the light and the kindness and the compassion and the bearer of ‘glad tidings’ and the ‘lighter of one candle rather than cursing the darkness’ that we hear about.

More love than your heart can hold…
Enthusiasm triumphing over cynicism….
Radiating welcome and warmth…
Reverence for giving…
Yuletide, gladtide, most any tide but red tide!

Caring…Compassion…Communion…
