Snowflakes Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always looked forward to the first “real” snow of the season and to catching that first snowflake on my tongue. As I grew older, I learned that snowflakes also have to be shoveled off the sidewalks and plowed from the streets so that we can get to where we are going (in my case, that’s probably to go shopping). Although that took some of the gleam away from it, I still see the beauty in each snowflake and experience a sense of serenity when I look out onto a freshly snow-covered field. We’ve made it through another year here, in Illinois. As Doug mentioned, we’ve challenged our adversaries and have reaped the rewards. The ISRA has been chosen by our peers to be the best in delivering our message, educating thousands of people in the safe handling of firearms and assisting those whose 2A Rights have been violated. The ISRA continues to host numerous events that provide not only its members, but the general public as well, opportunities to learn more about the shooting sports. And, we have a new group of legislators to work with in the coming year. We trust that our time in Springfield and all around the country will be beneficial to all law-abiding citizens in preserving their Second Amendment Rights. There is a lot of work to do in the coming year and it will take time, dedication and participation from each one of us to help realize some of our dreams (i.e. concealed carry). I am proud to be an ISRA Life member and will continue to promote the ISRA wherever I go. Now, more than ever, is the best time to become a member of the ISRA. Or, if you are already a member, spread the word amongst your family, friends and even your professional acquaintances about everything the ISRA does for its members and how glad you are to contribute to such a valued organization. Let’s build a great team together! We may have to shovel a lot of snowflakes in our path, but hopefully one day, we will all be able to rest easier and admire that snow-covered field. So this year, I’ll be dreaming of a white Christmas…but I’ll be enjoying the warmth of the sun here, in Arizona. I’d like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and hope the New Year will bring you good health and happiness! Kim Beard------
