Pictures from 2008 Annual Meeting courtesy of John KopalaPRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE The Spring Golf tournament is now history. I want to thank Dale Wendt for making all the arrangements. The report of the winners appears in this Bridge. I hope you are planning to attend the Spring Picnic on April 14. Look for details in the Bridge. Be sure to vote for next year’s officers and directors. We look forward to seeing a large attendance at the annual meeting on April 29 at the Bellaire Golf Club where our speaker will be Sheriff Joe Arpaio.We are looking for volunteers to help with the committees. It is not an overpowering amount of work, and it is fun to work with the people you used to work with only in a more relaxed environment. Again, please contact me if you have some time to help. Don’t hesitate to contact any board member if you have suggestions on how the Honeywell Retiree Club can be of service to the retirees. Be sure to log into the Honeywell Retiree Club website www.hrcaz.org on a regular basis for updated information between the Bridge distributions. Until next month… Best Regards, Virginia PHUN IN PHOENIXCheck out the Phun in Phoenix information.

The Sperry/Honeywell Retiree' Clubs agreed to again host the annual Holiday Dinner/Dance together, which allows both clubs to keep the cost reasonable during these difficult economic times. While the clubs did experience catering difficulties in 2008, it was not the Elk's fault. The Elks Management did everything possible to help make the party a success. Since then, the Elk's have hired their own Chef and are doing their own catering. Their new chef previously worked for the Paradise Valley Resort and comes highly recommended. We have reserved December 3, 2009 for the party at the Elk's, as well as reserving Joe Vacarro's Band once again. We will also have two buffet lines and attendees will be able to serve themselves, which will eliminate delays in serving the food. Tables can be reserved for 8 or 10. Get your friends together and reserve a table. Menu and Price are in the planning stage and will be printed in the April issue of THE BRIDGE.
FALL DIAMONDBACK BASEBALL GAME - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
Come join us for a fun night of baseball. This will be a joint Honeywell/Sperry Club event. This event sold out early last year, so reserve your spot now. Since we will not be sending out a bulletin during the summer months, this event is being advertised early. To make your reservations, call or email Virginia then make out a check to “Treasurer, HRC”.

The Fixit Guys are Bob, Dick, Gene, Sam, Perry, Matt, Paul, Ed and Clint. Call us at this number, (602) 765-4466, and leave a clear message containing job information, your name and telephone number. We probably can help and will get back to you as quickly as practical. We furnish the labor at no cost to you; you furnish the cost of the parts. Please contact the phone number above if you would like to volunteer as a Fix-It Guy or Gal.We received two more thank you notes for the Fix-It Guys: This letter is a huge thank you to the Fix-It Guys, namely Perry, who has helped me from unjamming a garbage disposer to major repairs on a pipe in my yard to repairs on my watering system in the yard. Next, Paul completely rebuilt my valve system for my watering system. These guys are so knowledgeable - they do the troubleshooting and all the necessary repairs. Paul even planted a gardenia next to the repair to eventually hide the pipes and gave me tips on caring for the plant. All above and beyond what I expected. I am so grateful for their help which I know would have cost me dearly. They are a wonderful group of guys who donate their time and expertise to help people like me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! And: No Computer, so my thank you comes the old fashioned way. Special Thank you to Perry for an $8.00 Fix-It to a problem that could have cost me hundreds!! HEALTH CORNERJudy Nance, R.N.
