Dear Circle of Friends Members
In April, Circle of Friends (formerly Senior Friends) is celebrating its 25th year and in recognition of this milestone,
each chapter will be holding a Birthday Party at the April General Meetings. Both Executive Boards invite you
to join in the celebrations they have planned for the members. During 2012 in celebration of our 25th year, Circle
of Friends is holding special drawings at our meetings and events, adding special extras on our trips with fun
ways to celebrate.
I would like to announce a change that has taken place affecting both West Anaheim and Huntington Beach
Circle of Friends Chapters. For the last few years the West Anaheim Chapter offices have been located inside
West Anaheim Medical Center (WAMC), in the former long term care unit which was used for patients prior to
closing seven years ago. It has been decided to once again open the long term care unit, which means that WA
Circle of Friends and 24 staff members who used that space needed to relocate. Unfortunately there was not
adequate space within WAMC to house everyone. Many staff members have been relocated to one of our sister
hospitals and the WA Circle of Friends Administrative Office has moved to Huntington Beach Hospital. We
will continue to hold all WA Circle of Friends meetings, lectures, and activities for members at West Anaheim
Medical Center, this will not change.
In order for this to be accomplished the HB Circle of Friends offices also had to be relocated. Huntington Beach
Hospital’s Administrator, Sofia Abrina, was very generous in allocating a large suite for us to occupy, it is located
on the first floor. Orange County Circle of Friends is now housed under one roof, not in separate offices. Each
chapter has their own area as does travel, data entry and my office is located there as well.
I want to thank the office staff of both chapters for their hard work in getting us ready for the move, which
happened very quickly, and for their continued help getting organized in the new offices. It has been a big
change for all, but much more for the volunteers who run the West Anaheim Chapter and the Travel Dept. It was
with regret that I accepted the resignation of some volunteers who were unable to make the drive to Huntington
Beach on a weekly basis and I am so grateful to those who have made the move to the new offices.
To accommodate this change the hours of operation for West Anaheim and Travel have changed to 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. Monday to Thursday. Their new phone number is 714-843-5092. HB Chapter number remains 714-8435061.
I invite you to join us at the Open House on Tuesday, March 27th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The new location for
the offices is on the first floor of Huntington Beach Hospital, 17772 Beach Blvd. Huntington Beach, CA 92647.

Wisdom….”I never encountered failure; all I ever met were temporary setbacks. So
begin now! We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting
like a snowflake. And don’t resent growing old, many are denied the privilege.”
A Memorable Lesson on Life ! During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I finished all
the questions easily until I read that last one. “What is the name of the woman who cleans the school?” I figured this was
some kind of a joke. I’ve seen the woman many times; tall, dark-haired, maybe in her 50’s, but how and why should I
know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the
last question would count toward the quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers you will meet many
people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say ‘Hello.’” I’ve never
forgotten that lesson and I soon learned her name is Dorothy. Since college, my life’s theme has been “Work like you
don’t need the money, ‘cause the harder you work, the luckier you are; love like you’ve never been hurt; and dance like
you would if nobody were watching!”
“I don’t know what your destiny will be , but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really
happy are those who have sought and found out how to serve.” Albert Schweitzer
(They’re called Volunteers!)
To retain your self-respect, it’s better to displease the people by doing what you know is right than to
temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
