The Bridge


NOTE: This online version is a reformatted (e.g., buttons at left removed to improve readability, and all event information together following other items) sub-set of the full version sent to paid-up members, with 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.
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 and can be received wherever you may be, unlike the paper version. Note that Honeywell outsources the distribution of the black-and-white paper Bridge. It is typically delivered one to 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.

Past issues of the online Bridge are available on the ARCHIVES page.

Display of Email Addresses

Per the website policy defined in the HRSC Bylaws, the "mailto:" feature of email address links, that generates a draft email when clicked, is not used with personal email addresses—only with general addresses such as Hotline@hrcaz.org or Bridge_Editor@hrcaz.org. This restriction only applies to the website, and thus this online Bridge—it does not apply to the PDF eBridge, since that is not publicly available and cannot be crawled by email address harvesters.

The Bridge We hope that you are all doing well and have had the opportunity to get your first COVID vaccine and, hopefully, your second one as well. In an effort to keep our members informed about the COVID vaccine, we have included information under the "From the Editor" section this month. We hope that you will find it helpful.

Just a friendly reminder, the deadline for submitting the scholarship application is fast approaching. All applications are due no later than Thursday, April 1, 2021. Please do not let your family members miss out on this excellent opportunity to receive financial assistance towards their education and future success. The HRSC Scholarship Foundation is committed and proud to support our members’ descendants but need your help and support for our continued success. If you have any questions, you can find information about our Scholarship program on our website at hrcaz.org. Click on the Scholarship tab which can be found on the left side of the page. Our Foundation Board members are also happy to help.

Remember, due to the fact that most of the events were cancelled in 2020, the Board has voted to extend membership expiration dates by one year for new members this year, as well as continuing members. In all cases, if they join between now and April 30, 2021, their first $5.00 will take them through April 30, 2022. If you pay for multiple years in advance, they will also be extended by one year. For further clarification, your new expiration date will be provided when you receive your first Bridge newsletter.

We have included information on two new tours this month that have been organized by the Aero Activities Club (AAC) – a tour to the Sanderson Ford Museum in May and a tour to the Tovrea Castle in November. In addition, two more virtual tours have been provided in the March Bridge and are quite interesting, fascinating, and informative. Let us know what you think. We will continue to research more if you like them and are interested. Do you have your favorites? If so, send them to us and we will try to include them in next year’s newsletters.

For now, please continue to be safe and take care of yourselves. Let us hope that in 2021 we are face-to-face socializing again. The Honeywell Retirees Social Club will continue to keep in touch and keep sending out the monthly newsletter.

If any of you have burning questions or comments, feel free to call or write me.

It will provide opportunities to renew acquaintances and promote fellowship among retirees, and will assist retirees in maintaining and enhancing the image of Honeywell International, Inc., in the eyes of the public.

COVID VACCINE INFRMATION

In an effort to keep our members informed about the COVID vaccine, we are providing the links on where to go for the latest information and to schedule an appointment. Click on the links below to receive information at both the state and county levels. For the State of Arizona information and to schedule an appointment, visit www.azdhs.gov. For information at the Maricopa County- level, go to https://www.maricopa.gov/5641/COVID- 19-Vaccine.

The vaccine criteria and locations for both of these venues are frequently being updated so, if you have not scheduled your appointment yet and/or have been unable to schedule your appointment, keep checking on a regular basis.

HONEYWELL RETIREE SOCIAL CLUB ADDRESS

When mailing items to the HRSC treasurer, please ensure that you address the envelope using the full name of the club, i.e. Honeywell Retiree Social Club, so it goes to the proper location. Some people just put HRSC on the envelope and it ends up in HR which slows down the process.

The Bridge MEMBER INFORMATION UPDATES

 Please review your membership information to ensure that it is current and accurate. In  the April   Bridge we will be including a list of those members who agreed to release their E-mail addresses for the HRSC Bridge Newsletter. The consent for this was included on your initial membership application. The email list is NOT available on the website; only HRSC members will receive it. If you do not want your E-mail published in the Bridge and/or your information has changed, please send your updates via E-mail to Hotline@hrcaz.org  or by mail to  the  Honeywell Retiree Social Club, Honeywell Inc., 1860 West Rose Garden Lane, Phoenix, AZ 85027-2704. All updates for the April Bridge are due no later than Wednesday, March 31, 2021.

Honeywell Clubs Fix-It Guys Program

Sponsored by the Honeywell Retiree Social Club, Honeywell-Garrett and Aero Activities Retiree Clubs

Gary Kains is the coordinator for the Fix-It-Guys program. Our purpose is to help club members and/or surviving spouses who may need assistance with handyman-type repairs and will appreciate saving some money. Currently there are seven Fix-It- Guys and Gary Kains, the coordinator. If you have such a need, call Gary at (480) 835-6060 to schedule a trip to your home. If you reach voice mail, please leave a message giving your name, phone number, description of the job, and nearest cross streets. We will get back with you to schedule a visit. We provide the labor at no cost to you, and you furnish the cost of the materials.


You don't have to be a contractor-level kind of handyman—just generally handy around the house. Some of you may have special skills (Computer/Plumbing/Electrical/Drywall?) that can significantly help our members in need, and you will be reimbursed for your travel. Why not try it? Please call Gary Kains, (480-835-6060) if interested. We would love to talk with you!

The table below lists our current Fix-It Guys Team.

 Thanks guys—for all that you do!

Scholarships for College

Scholarship Foundation








The Bridge

The Bridge

   M A RC H   

"For each The Bridge petal on the shamrock, this brings a wish your way - good health, good luck

and happiness - for today and every day.” Irish Blessing

The Bridge The Scholarship Board hopes everyone is continuing to stay safe, healthy and socially distanced. We also hope those who are eligible have been able to get their vaccine. It’s unbelievable to think it’s been over a year since this pandemic started! Hopefully, we will all be able to see each another before you know it.

Our application process opened on December 1 and the applications are starting to arrive! We have a new e-mail address dedicated to receiving all applications. Thanks to Kevin Harris for setting this up for us and for keeping all our documents updated on our website! Please make sure you visit our website at hrcaz.org and click on the Scholarship tab on the left to ensure your student has the newest application. Also, please instruct your student to fill out the application completely and correctly in order for it to be considered.

April 1st is the deadline for application submission this academic year so be sure you get our information to your student in a timely manner.

Here are the criteria for the relative and student in order to be eligible.

  • •  
    		Member must be 50+ years of age, a member of the Honeywell Retiree Social Club or Honeywell-Garrett Retiree Club with dues urrent.
    •  Student must be your descendant (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and/or great-great grandchildren)
    •  Student must be currently enrolled at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University or the University of Arizona as either an undergraduate or graduate student?

    •  Student must have a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) or better.
The B
If you can answer YES to all of the previous questions, then your college student is eligible for a scholarship from the Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation. This means FREE MONEY $$$ for your student to aid them with their college expenses, help them achieve their goals in life and become productive members of the community and society. These funds are available to our students through the generous contributions of our retiree club members and Honeywell. The scholarships usually range in value from $500-$1,500 per academic year, depending on total donations.

WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE?
  • The Scholarship Program is qualified as a 501(c)(3) so donations should be tax deductible on your state and federal returns (check with your tax advisor).
  • We live in a global economy.  The ability of the United States to maintain its leadership role in the world, and the resulting benefits which accrue to us as citizens, demand an educated workforce as well as educated citizens and voters.
  • Supporting education by donating to scholarships is in your own interest!  When you donate money to our scholarship fund, think of it as paying it forward by investing in a student’s future.
  • By helping someone afford a college education, you are raising their salary potential and hence the tax base. This is a good thing for everyone - better roads, better schools, better teachers, more doctors just to name a few.
  • Successful, well run communities attract more investment. Not to mention more folks with jobs paying into Social Security and Medicare which is something all retirees are interested in preserving.
  • Giving makes you feel good, strengthens personal values and shows your children and grandchildren what you care about.
  • Best of all, giving to the Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation means every cent is used for scholarships.

Please review your charitable contributions and consider adding this Scholarship Program to your list of worthy causes.

If you would like to donate at any time throughout the year, please make your check payable to:  Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation.
You can mail your check, together with the form below to either of:

Virtual Tour Title

As Mary mentioned in the President’s Perspective, the HRSC Board is exploring new avenues for things to do to replace the events that have been canceled for 2020. One of the options we discussed and researched are virtual tours. We discovered that there were many to choose from on the internet that we thought would be both interesting and enjoyable for our members.

The majority of the events we researched are available on YouTube but some were also available on other venues such as Facebook and Instagram. Although there are many options to choose from, we reviewed them on line and chose the ones on YouTube that we thought would be the most interesting.

The Bridge

This month we will be featuring Taliesin West – Frank Lloyd Wright’s Winter Home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Many of you have already taken advantage of the tours we have offered in the past and we hope that this virtual tour will bring pack some pleasant memories. Please take the opportunity to view the tour and let us know what you think and if it is something that you want us to pursue further. We value our member’s opinions and hope to find something that works for everyone. Please Email your comments and suggestions to Kay Nye at Bridge_Editor@hrcaz.org. We will continue to explore other virtual tours that sound interesting and entertaining for the April and May Bridge newsletters, then will wind down for the summer months.

  Chicago


Location:           77th Avenue & Paradise LaneTheatrical Masks
Dining Time:     12:00 PM
Curtain Time:      2:00 PM


Set amidst the decade of the roaring twenties, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and wannabe nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media, and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, and hires the slickest criminal lawyer in town to transform her crime into a barrage of sensational headlines. Filled with greed, corruption, exploitation and one show-stopping hit after another, Chicago is sure to give you the old “Razzle Dazzle!”

CANCELED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS

May be rescheduled or fully canceled
 SW Plane 2

Several members have requested this tour again so here goes. This is a unique opportunity to tour Southwest Airlines Maintenance Facility at Sky Harbor Airport. You may be able to walk through an aircraft and sit in the cockpit then tour the maintenance and operation areas in a two hour guided tour. You will find out why the first aircraft were painted those colors, how the fit an aircraft that is too big into the hanger and maybe debate the correct part numbers of the APS we see in the stores. Last year we sat in an aircraft only 5 flight hours old and not yet entered service. Yes it had the new aircraft smell. This free tour is planned for Wednesday, April 15, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. but names of all attendees are required in advance for security purposes. This will be our fourth tour and spaces fill quickly. I have to limit the group to 40 for practical reasons.

 

To register send the full names of all in your party to Keith Hughes at keith8411@cox.net or call 623-825-5243 for details.

What is Central Arizona Project?

A VISION FOR ARIZONA. In the early 20th century, Arizona’s leaders knew the state’s future depended on a water supply that was secure, stable and renewable. They pursued that vision; the result was Central Arizona Project (CAP), a 336-mile system that brings Colorado River water to central and southern Arizona, delivers the state’s single largest renewable water supply and serves 80% of the state’s population.
