FALL IS HERE!!  STAGGERING COLORS OF FALL'S BEAUTY ARE EVERYWHERE.  HOPEFULLY CLASSMATES ALL SURVIVED THE RECENT HURRICANE, ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES.  THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OTHERWISE THAT I COULD SHARE, AND HOPE THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF OUR CLASSMATES, THOUGH SCATTERED.  DEVASTATION IS RAMPANT OVER A WIDE AREA, PARTICULARLY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA.  MANY OF YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN RESCUE AND/OR CLEANUP, AS MANY VOLUNREERS ARE HARD AT WORK IN THEIR EFFORTS TO HELP.  PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE INVOLVED.

IF IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU HAVE UPDATED YOUR INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE, PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING A FEW MINUTES TO UPDATE YOUR PAGE.  MANY CLASSMATES ARE ENJOYING WHAT OUR WEBSITE DOES IN HELPING US STAY CONNECTED.  YOUR UPDATED INFORMATION IS A VERY VITAL LINK IN THAT PROCESS!  THANK YOU.

HOPEFULLY EACH OF YOU ARE REACHING OUT TO CLASSMATES THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR BY OTHER MEANS.  AS WE JOURNEY ALONG, RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS ARE MOST IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL. 

IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION THEY WISH TO SHARE WITH THE CLASS, PLEASE NOTIFY aweddine@gmail.com.   SOME OF OUR CLASSMATES HAVE HAD INTERESTING HOBBIES, EXPERIENCES, OR CAREERS, WITH STORIES THAT OTHERS WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT.  THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ELABORATE, BUT WOULD ADD GOOD CONTENT TO OUR WEBSITE FROM TIME TO TIME.  PLEASE CONSIDER SHARING.  YOU CAN SEND A NOTE TO ME AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS MENTIONED ABOVE.
