PRESIDENT�S MESSAGE: I want to start this message by wishing you all a very Happy, Joyous and Prosperous 2006!!! The year 2005 has been very successful for the club, both in growing our membership and the strength of our volunteers that support the club on a monthly basis. The Christmas party was a rousing success and I would like to thank Donna Cody for her leadership of this important annual event. One hundred and seventy five people attended the party this year at the Elks Club. Each of these attendees enjoyed the fellowship, food, and entertainment, all of which was excellent. If you have not attended this event in a while please plan on going next year it is such a great time. I greatly appreciate the following people who had an important hand in supporting this holiday function.

Donna Cody- Chairperson Eadie Beckstein-Entertainment Sharon Carey-Charity Support Jim Carney-Santa Claus Linda Collie-Event Support Judy Hayes-Event Support Ed Lyons-Photographer Agnes Maio-Event Support Rich Mettille-Costume Donation Shirley Peck-Event Support Frances Peterson-Ticket Sales Jan Simon-Historian/Video Hank Szot-Pledge and Invocation Betty Szot-Crafts for Charity Shirley Tucker-Ray Orth Charity Tom Tucker-Ray Orth Charity Clear Creek Country Band Cal Boeldt Bill Hallenbeck Richard Heppler Chuck Spears Beta Sigma Phi Sorority

As you can see it takes a large group of volunteers to support the many events the club puts on through out the year. If you know these volunteers please thank them when you see them at various up coming meetings. I would also like to thank everyone that brought canned goods and gifts for the children at the La Mesita Lodge Homeless Shelter. We had a great outpouring from the membership this year and I know that these children and families at the shelter appreciate your thoughts for the season. I would also like to give a plug to Rich Mettille, and his donation of the Santa Costume. The costume came from:

Easley�s Fun Shop, 509 W. McDowell Rd, 602-271-9146. Please frequent the fun shop for all your costume and gag gifts needs. It is this type of support that keeps the club cost down which saves money for charity support and scholarships. Speaking of scholarships, the club is trying its best to raise funds to support this important function. We are asking the membership to make scholarship donations when they renew their membership and when new members join the club. We have had limited success with this approach and the club is grateful to each member that has contributed to the fund. You can find these members named in our Scholarship Donor corner each month in the Voice. We need to do much more to ensure that this aspect of the club continues to be viable. We currently have fourteen scholarship applications requests sent out to member grandchildren for 2006 graduates. This could result in our biggest year yet for scholarship request while at the same time our funding capabilities are at its lowest. Motorola has not funded this project for the club over the past three years and does not fund the club in any other way. This puts the onus on our membership to create our own success with this program. If every member donated five dollars toward this important cause we could quickly raise seven thousand dollars. Please plan on supporting our future leaders with five dollars or more when you renew your membership. The Executive Board has much planned for the up coming year and I hope you plan to attend many of the meetings over the next few months. The first meeting of 2006, on Wednesday January 25th, will be a potluck and information fair. The whole focus of the information fair will be on 2006 Medicare Options. There will be a Licensed Senior Specialists who will speak on this subject and then will be available to individually assist you after to answer your questions. This event should prove to be valuable to people who are grappling with this issue not only personally but also for retirees who are trying to help parents or other relatives they may be caring for or supporting in some way. It is time to begin planning for our new slate of officers for the year 2006/2007. We will need to have someone to step up to lead the Club. I have been your President for the past two years and I am happy to report that the Club Constitution only allows a member to hold this post for two years, which insures that our leadership is refreshed bi-annually. The nomination committee will be approaching members soon to request you run for one of the officer position, please plan to be positive in your response. I can assure you that supporting the club as an officer can be a most rewarding experience. I wish you all Happy New Year. Best Regards, Phil

Arizona Retirees’ Club Minutes – 12/7/2005 This years annual Club Holiday Luncheon was held at the Elks Club. This is now the third year that we have held the luncheon at this location. There were one hundred seventy attendees and these attendees were very happy to see that much more space at the Elks Club had be allocated for the luncheon which made it very enjoyable for all. Jim Carney a member of the Executive Committee showed up as Santa this year. Jim was the perfect Santa Clause with his smile and twinkling eyes. Ed Lyons and Jan Simon the Club photographers was catching everyone at their best or most mischievous during the luncheon. The Elks Club banquet crew was introduced prior to the lunch being served. The attendees gave them a well deserved ovation for the lunch that was about to be served. Donna Cody was thanked for her leadership role in chairing the Holiday Luncheon Committee. Hank Szot led the members in the Pledge and prayer. The organization had a moment of silence for soldiers and other civilians in Iraq. Fred Lowey, who championed the pension issue for employees who had worked past the age of sixty five, was recognized. Fred received a well deserved ovation for his work on this important pension issue. Many retirees are receiving funds based on his tireless work. The Clear Creek Country Band played before lunch was served and then for at least one hour after lunch. This band is made up of Motorola Retirees, Cal Boeldt, Bill Hollenbeck, Dick Heppler, and Chuck Spears. The band did a great job and was very well received by the attendees. The Club would like to thank each of the band members for there many hours of preparation prior to the luncheon. We wish Cal and Sharon Boeldt a very happy 50th wedding anniversary as well. Donna Cody who worked tirelessly on the Luncheon also presented several unique skits with the help of her sorority sisters. We would like to thank this group for their very humorous presentations. The Ray Orth Charity was another success and Jim Carney won again. He split the proceeds with the Scholarship Fund. We would like to thank Jim for his support of the Scholarship Fund. This is the second time that he has made this donation to this fund. Birthday wishes for Lee Peters who is 82 years young. Happy birthday wishes to Edie Beckstein, Rod O'Connor, Donna Cody, Jim Schmidlin, Lucy Zurick, Bill Fulton,

Ralph Greenburg, Jack Holmes and Phil McNett. Bill Gunter had bypass surgery and is doing very well. We would like to thank all attendees who made very generous donations of non-perishable food and toys for the families at LaMesita Homeless Shelter. These donations are very much appreciated by the families at the Holiday Season. Sharon Carey�

Retirees Benefits Protection Association Attention Retirees, You should have received an email or a postal mailing from the RBPA within the last six weeks. This mailing was a request of support for the preservation of affordable healthcare for all Motorola retirees. The response to date on this last mailing has been slow but now that it is after the holidays we are asking all retirees to pull together and support this very important issue. We are looking forward to each retiree joining this organization and fully support this action for all Motorola retirees. We all need to take action now to insure healthcare for all retirees.

IF YOU TAKE A TRIP TO ITALY TAKE YOURSELF A WASHCLOTH AND A LARGE BAR OF SOAP

By Donna Cody

How many ways are there to flush a toilet Twenty-five Model T Ford drivers (and more than 25 of their passengers) had some difficulty finding the answer. While touring thru Italy, the Southern California Model T Club encountered a new way at almost every stop. It was either push, pull, turn, twist or step on it, and the immediate answer was seldom visible. It was a chance of a lifetime to participate in this month long event. The �T�s� (being shipped months earlier) were waiting in Switzerland upon our arrival. With an Atlas and our trusty Bi-lingual gal, Carla, we navigators highlighted each days course. However, that didn�t keep us from getting lost, especially at the end of each day when it was time to locate our hotel. Townspeople were more than eager to help us. One day, the small caravan I happened to be in, approached a parked ambulance driver for directions. He said, �crank �em up and I�ll take you there�. And he did! That was in St. Margherita. Italy is noted for its beauty and it was breathtaking! Their thousands of vineyards were seen everywhere. The Dolomite Mountains (10,000 ft. right up in the clouds) was not only a challenge but exciting. In fact, each day was highlighted with a special place to visit. It could have been a beautiful Villa, an art or old car museum, a lake, being honored guests with a mayor and his people (champagne toasts). It was a sight to behold when dozens of Ferrari employees (who happened to be in the parking lot on their lunch break), wearing their bright red matching coveralls, gathered our Model T�s to inspect the motors. Regardless of where we were we seemed to be welcome. People even waved from their windows in their houses. It would take a very big thick book to tell it all. A chartered boat took us to villages on the shore line of the Mediterranean. An old car buff and restaurant owner treated us to a picnic in a park that was known as the �Disneyland of the 15th Century�. Then later, he hosted a lovely 5 course dinner with entertainment. Other car enthusiasts arranged for police escorts, a tour of very interesting museums. I remember seeing an ancient pitchfork (made strictly from wood) alongside a huge ancient threshing machine. In another room was a gorgeous Lamborghini plus other exotic cars� What a contrast! Venice was my favorite. The canals, the gondola ride with musicians, plus the shopping at the Murano glass factory made it so very special. We had guides on all our historic tours. To hear about Napoleon destroying beautiful large churches only to have buildings replaced in his honor brought history to life. We experienced the same feeling in Florence where we visited gorgeous art museums and palaces. Saw a king�s throne and his Queens elegant boudoir. The tourist crowds were so large, sometimes we carried matching umbrellas (held up high) to keep our group of 60 together. Some of the most unusual sites were the thousands of scooters. The roads are so narrow and winding, very little parking is available. Every scooter and every car seemed to be driven like a bat out of hell. Sometimes you wondered if you could get your thumb between a couple of busses when passing. The majority of the more matronly women, wore skirts and rode bicycles. Since pasta is served several times a day, I expected overweight people. Not so! Majority smoked (ashtrays on tables and in

busses) but never butter on the restaurant tables. Olive oil and vinegar everywhere! Water was more expensive than wine and a coke could be as high as 4.00 euros. Because they are conservative people, at times, we had to insert our hotel key into a slot in order to have electricity. That way, they made sure you turned off the lights when leaving the room. I loved the sound of their bells in the tall towers in the smaller towns. They didn�t just ring to announce the time of day. One time I counted 65 tolls. Yes, we had the usual breakdowns but we also had T owners that knew how to improvise. The couple from Germany replenished their radiator with beer when water was not available. Only two cars didn�t make it back under their own power. After the three weeks driving in Model T Fords and paying about $7.00 gallon for gas, the cars were shipped back home. Then most of us continued on an extended tour to visit some of the cities we had missed. We relied on trains, coaches, boats, and taxis to take us to Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri and Anacapri. We had an excellent guide named Pina. The Vatican was beautiful with all its gold and glitter, Michael Angelo�s paintings. etc. But hearing the way the people lived in Pompeii, before the volcanic eruption of 79AD, was one of the highlights of the trip. To see the ruins, the imprint of carts as they rolled down the stone roads, the marble pillars still intact, and archeology students still chipping away to uncover many more acres of that ancient city brought history to life. Another historic place was Montecassino, the Germans stronghold during World War II. It is now restored and again a quiet beautiful monastery. We gals shopped �til we dropped in every village, city and tourist trap. The men got their thrill from driving on winding, narrow, high, scenic roads. We drove thru miles and miles of tunnels�some were lit, some were pitch black. We squeezed in lifts built for 4 with tons of luggage. We rode a chair lift 1000 feet to the top of a cliff to see a magnificent view. We climbed flights of stairs that took us almost to the clouds. We ate their pasta, their pizza, and their delicious Tuscan melons. We had a bottle of wine on the table almost before we ordered. We lunched on top of cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean� but looking down�we saw two or three of our own fun-loving brazen gals taking a dip in their undees! But �OH JOY� to come home to a shower, big enough to turn around in, a terry cloth washcloth and soap larger than a quarter�.that is heaven! Participants on this tour, which took a year in the planning, were from California, Arizona, Canada, Germany, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Nevada, Washington and Kansas. What a great bunch! It was a fabulous trip and I�d recommend Italy to everyone! CHOW!

Thanks for your Generosity!

The members who attended the Holiday Luncheon at the Elks Club were very generous in donating a large quantity of can goods and toys to the LaMesita Homeless Shelter. This is the second year that the club made LaMesita it charity of choice at the Holiday season. LaMesita is a homeless shelter for abused women with children embarking on a new life for their family. The Club also purchased books, computer software, clothes, blankets, baby bottles, and many other necessities for the shelter. The software will be used by the adults and children. The adults will become proficient in writing resumes to help them find a job which will enable them to provide for their families. An anonymous donor made twenty four large Christmas bags for the children at LaMesita. The bags had toys, candy, activity books, popcorn balls, pencils and other goodies for the children. The Club would like to thank the donor for her generosity. The Craft Committee, lead by Hank and Betty Szot, again had many items that they had either crochet or knitted. These beautiful hats, lap blankets, shawls, and scarves were donated to the Cancer Society and Phoenix Children's Hospital. Two bags full of knitted and crochet hats and blankets were donated by Emma Brodock who is 96 years young. Shirley Peterson Whalley donated two large shawls. Stella Prosser had a beautiful small shawl. June Lahti donated 18 adult hats, 25 baby hats, a chemo scarf and five turban hats. The Executive committee would like to thank Hank and Betty Szot for their leadership on the crafts committee and would also like to thank Sharon Carey for her support of the Holiday Charity activities. The following are just a portion of the donations!
