Newsletter of the Honeywell Retiree Social Club of ArizonaNOTE: This
online version is a reformatted sub-set of the full
version sent to paid-up members, with possible
updates to event information since the Bridge was
distributed.
For example, it does not contain names of recent retirees, new members, or members who have passed away, nor does it contain the list of member email addresses which is sent out from time to time. Finally, there will typically be a delay of a week or so before a new month's version is posted here; if you want to get the Bridge as it comes off the press, become a member and request the full-color PDF version, the eBridge, which is sent by email. Note that the black-and-white paper Bridge is sent out by Honeywell,who outsource the task. It is typically delivered about two weeks after the PDF eBridge is delivered by email, so apart from news being a little old, members receiving only the paper copy may miss out on first come, first served signup for upcoming events.

Meet Rachael Davey
Junior Scholarship winner at University of Arizona 
I am currently finishing up my
first semester as a Junior at the University of
Arizona; majoring in Special Education, with an
emphasis in Rehabilitation, and I am also working on
completing my minor in Psychology.
My goal is a career as an Occupational Therapist, working with kids with learning disabilities, Since I was about eleven years old, being around someone with a special disability was normal for me because I have a cousin with down syndrome. I saw all the things he had to learn differently and the obstacles he faced growing up. Working at a tutoring center, Kumon, I was able to help a boy with Autism learn how to do basic math equations and practice his reading comprehension. I am now volunteering at a different ranch called the Therapeutic Riding Center for Kids and Animals (TRAK). I started at the beginning of September and love working with the many different animals they rescue. I also have a job working with a 12-year-old boy who has Autism. This has been an amazing experience; being able to gain more knowledge working with kids who have disabilities, and also becoming so close with him and his family in such a short amount of time has made me extremely excited to start my Occupational Therapist career. My goals for next semester are to shadow an Occupational Therapist at a hospital, continue working with the 12-year-old boy, and increase my volunteer hours. In addition to all my activates I have been able to maintain a 3.3 GPA to keep my eligibility for the Honeywell Scholarship, which has been extremely appreciated assistance to help with university expenses. |

OCTOBER 20, 2016 - THURSDAY   Community Service Opportunity Make-A-Difference Day with Rebuilding Together Valley of the Sun Saturday, Oct 22 HRSC
participation in this event was canceled because
of a low signup level. This may have been partly
due to the somewhat limited notice and lack of
familiarity with the event and organization.
Next time we'll give members more notice.
You can find more information about the event and RTVOS at www.rebuildingtogetherphx.org/make-difference-day-saturday-oct-22-2016/  Awaiting report and/or photos. Sponsored by the Sperry Retiree Club Tovrea Castle Tour November 4, 2016 The first 10 of 150
club members toured the castle. Demand has been so
great we had to arrange 9 tours and having attended
the first one I can see why. There is a fascinating
history to both the grounds and the building that I
will not reveal before others have gone. Suffice to
say it was an enjoyable visit. (Keith Hughes)

Set in a department store, four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra on sale come to find they have more to share than ever imagined. The cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realize that menopause is no longer The Silent Passage, but a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal!
This free tour starts at 9:30 am on 3/3/17 in Glendale near Grand Ave and 51st Ave. (The 2/16/17 and 3/2/17 tours are fully booked.) The tour lasts 60 – 75 minutes. Afterwards you may visit the Starliner Diner on the same site and purchase a late breakfast or lunch. For reservations contact Keith Hughes at keith8411@cox.net. Please tell me if you are staying for a meal as space is limited to 30 people. No limit if not eating.

Free Tour of the ORPHEUM THEATRE
March 6 & 7, 2017 at 10am
The Orpheum Theatre is a 1364-seat theatre in downtown Phoenix. This venue was originally used for vaudeville acts as part of the nationwide Orpheum Circuit. After falling into disrepair for some years, the Orpheum Theatre was purchased in 1984 by the city of Phoenix, which then began a 12-year, $14 million restoration. The Orpheum reopened on January 28, 1997, with a performance of Hello, Dolly! starring Carol Channing. After the performance, Ms. Channing, still in costume but out of character, thanked the audience for "not turning this beautiful theatre into a parking lot!"
