With winter temperatures sneaking in more and more regularly at night, it won't be long before fall leaves will be replaced by sparkling snow and the scent of evergreen will fill the
Brinkerhoff home as it is readied for Christmas.

NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
By the time we have the next newsletter, there will be a new President elected for the Brinkerhoff Foundation. I wish that person well and give him my hearty congratulations and warm wishes. To all of you, thank you for your efforts on behalf of the Foundation. It has been a pleasure working with each of you for the greater good. I would expect to stay involved, either by baking, serving or however needed. Again, thank you.
Susan Canny
Editors Note:
With the upcoming Christmas events I will have come full circle; having pictured the Brinkerhoff home in all its seasonal attire. You have seen some of these pictures on this blog. Aside from designing and maintaining the blog, I have also created a web site picture gallery. It can be seen at http://www.brinkerhoffhome.org/ . I have found my relationship with The Brinkerhoff Foundation to be very rewarding and it is my intention to continue this relationship to bring the beauty of the Brinkerhoff home to the Internet. I have enjoyed working with the current president Susan Canny and all Foundation board members and applaud them all for their hard work and dedication. I look forward to working with the new president in the future. My primary goal for next year will be to expand the Brinkerhoffhome website to include more than just a picture gallery. If there is something you would like to see on this Blog or on the website in the future, click on "comments" below.

May this joyous season bring you peace and happiness that continues throughout the new year.
