"Communicating for Results!"

Greetings Power Pals & Visiting Guests!
The New year is here! - We are looking forward to so many fun and exciting things this year.
But first we just want to acknowledge all those who expressed their care and concern during our time of illness.
Both Roman and I had covid-related pneumonia and I tell you, this virus does not discriminate against anyone. It does not matter your political views, your religious beliefs, your own well-researched facts, scientific or medical sources, or personal opinions - you don't know how bad it is until you know how bad it is (and hopefully, you will never have to find out or know yourselves).
You can get vaccinated or not vaccinated, wear a mask or no mask, get booster shots or no shots, when this virus catches you, there is no getting away from it and you feel like you are on your death bed. (I don't say that lightly as having gone through this myself, I can understand why so many have died).
Roman's side of the family (all vaccinated and living in separate households by the way), got hit with this virus very hard. A 73-year old cousin, a 94 year old uncle , and his 98 year old mother all have covid-related pneumonia and are at Abboott Northwestern Hospital at the time of writing this communication.
Some of you may be disappointed to know that my political views, religious beliefs, personal opinions haven't changed but having gone through this experience has given me a greater appreciation for the suffering one goes through when they do get this sick. Both Roman and I are extremely fortunate to have recovered but we recognize that we are very lucky and we believe prayers pulled us through.
It wasn't just prayers but also our Power Pals that helped us pull through! I can't say it enough but THANK YOU to all who answered my call for help!
Whether it was Kirsten Kinzler picking up all the socks we donated to the Holiday Sock Drive, to Jane Schuette taking charge at Comedy Jesters Improv for the Holiday Outing and filling in meeting roles when I just didn't have the strength to breathe, to Diane Windingland being our family health spokesperson, to Michael Carlton running the Pizza Panel Program at Frankie's, to Lori Ziebarth assisting, greeting, coordinating, printing, to all the speakers themselves (thank you Lili Korbuly-Johnson, Jack Jacobson, and John Anderson) - we would not have been able to finish out the 2021 year as strong as we did and it was all because of the awesome Power Pals we have who ensured that "the show would go on!"
2021 was an incredibly challenging year for us personally - Housefire, 2nd degree burns, being displaced into temporary housing, caring for parents full time, catching covid-related pneumonia, cancelling Christmas and New year Celebrations, and cancelling our highly anticipated trip to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico with the Windinglands - it really has been hard. Our Power Pals were there to pick us up every time that we fell hard. I am so thankful for this powerful network we have built together. I am so thankful for the friendships and support from all our Power Pals.
Looking ahead to 2022: - We will be kicking off the new year with our annual PowerTalk Power Day on Saturday, January 29th at the Crowne Plaza Aire Hotel in Bloomington, MN. - this full day event will then be immediately followed by a great celebration of our Club's 2nd anniversary and VIP Dinner, Awards, & Recognition Night!
So many Awesome Power Pals to recognize and so many things to celebrate. Our club membership is growing and this is a very exciting time of the year!
Stay tuned Power Pals- there's more to come!

Holiday Sock Drive Thank You
Holiday Sock Drive Thank You
On the evening of December 9th , I, along with Power Pal members and guests, met at the Cinema Grill. Diane Windingland had mentioned to me, two weeks prior, that Vitalia was organizing a socks' collection for the Salvation Army' homeless and had already collected 125 pairs! As I stood in the foyer, I was unprepared for the generosity of those present and arriving as they brought additional pairs adding to Vitalia and Roman's. By the evening's end there totaled 438 pairs. Remarkable! Amazon has since delivered two boxes from anonymous donors with over 200 more pairs!
The media often reports negative happenings, so much so, that I begin to wonder where is good news? Well, your generous outpouring of gifting to the less fortunate reassured me that there is much good brought by people like you.
Unless you are at our Thursday' morning Salvation Army' breakfasts, you can't hear the "Thank you" or the "God bless you" that our Thursday' morning Salvation Army team hears. Well, I am there to tell you, we hear plenty. Fresh socks are critical for all months but especially the cold months when a fresh pair will make the difference between sweating and freezing feet to a fresh pair to absorb the sweat and stay warm.
I am overwhelmed with your generosity and thank you once again on my and their behalf".

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband.

A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. The optician showed him a card with the letters 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.' 'Can you read this?' the optician asked. 'Read it?' the Polish guy replied, 'I know the guy.'

Appetizer idea: Sausage apple cheese skewers
This easy appetizer only requires three ingredients:
- Lunds & Byerlys wild rice smoked sausage or cooked bratwurst,
- Apple
- Aged cheddar cheese
Cook the sausage over medium heat in a sauté pan and slice it into rounds. Cut the apple and cheese into bite-sized pieces. Add a piece of apple to your skewer, followed by a piece of sausage and a piece of cheese to hold it all in place.
