Newsletter of theHoneywell Retiree Social Club of Arizona
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 more 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.
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!

Your Scholarship Board hopes this newsletter finds you, your families, and friends healthy, safe and coping with our (sadly) continued Coronavirus Delta variation pandemic.

CONGRATULATIONS
TO ALL!
Over the next two newsletters, we will feature our recipients with their picture and a write up about their college experience as well as their goals. We are happy to introduce our new Treasurer, Jim Brink, from the Honeywell- Garrett Retiree Club. Following his graduation from Arizona State University, Jim hired on to AiResearch in Jan 1968 to the Auxiliary Power Unit Design Group as a Design Engineer. He stayed in that group for 37 years, retiring at an early age in November 2003. After a year and a half of retirement, Jim went back to part-time work for Honeywell at a sub-contract shop for another ten years. Jim’s grandson, Otto, is one of our recipients. Jim felt he wanted to give back to the group which is financially contributing to his grandson’s college education. Thank you, Jim!
April 1st is the deadline for application submission every academic year so be sure to get our information to any qualified family member in a timely manner. We have updated our on-line submission process and you will find the documents on-line at www.hrcaz.org. Here are the criteria:

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? We received a nice thank you and update from one of our recent recipients. Jeff is the grandson of Brian Unsworth, one of our Board members. We know you are proud, Brian! I want to thank the Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation for the generous support during my college career. With your support, I graduated in May 2021, earning a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering with Magna Cum Laude honors. This summer
I started my first engineering
job with Lambeth Engineering, a
small 4-person firm in Dallas,
Texas. Three of us are recent
college grads so we are learning
the ins and outs of traffic
engineering together. Our work
has taken me to sites all over
the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex
and really allowed me to explore
the city. I have found some
great spots along the way,
including Deep Ellum and the
Bishop Arts District, but my
favorite place to hang out is at
the establishments on the shore
of Lake Ray Hubbard.
If you have any questions; you can
find information about our Scholarships
on the website at hrcaz.org.
Click on the SCHOLARSHIPS tab which
can be found on the left side of the
page. Our Foundation Board
members are also happy to help.
(Approximately
one year of past
events is shown to

extent of club
activities. Some have
reports and photos.)

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.
