President's Address

Hello ACP Members,

December has a special way of reminding us what truly matters. As the year winds down, we naturally shift our focus toward the people who shape our lives—family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and the communities we call home. This season invites us to pause, reconnect, and appreciate the bonds that carry us through the year.

For many, traditions begin with gathering—sometimes around a decorated tree, sometimes around a table filled with once-a-year recipes, and sometimes simply in a living room full of conversation and laughter. These familiar rituals ground us, offering comfort and belonging. Even the simplest traditions—watching a favorite holiday movie, sharing homemade treats, or taking an evening stroll to admire neighborhood lights—become shared moments that strengthen our ties to one another.

Community often shines brightest in December. We see it in food drives, toy donations, neighborhood gatherings, and the quiet ways people show up for each other. A warm greeting, a thoughtful card, a check-in on someone who may need it—these gestures ripple outward, creating connection far beyond the moment they occur. The collective spirit of giving reminds us that we’re part of something larger than ourselves.

This month also gives us a chance to create new traditions. Maybe it’s inviting someone new into your celebration, volunteering with a local nonprofit, or hosting a small gathering that brings together different parts of your life. Whatever form it takes, community grows when we intentionally make room for others.

As we close out the year, my hope is that you find time to enjoy the traditions that bring you joy and the people who bring you meaning. May this season fill your home with warmth, your days with connection, and your heart with the reassurance that you’re part of a vibrant, caring community. 

Wishing you a wonderful December and a bright, welcoming start to the new year.
