Howdy Folks…Been Awhile
I’d like to take just a moment to apologize for what has seemingly been the complete neglect of this website for the past couple of weeks. Yes, we paid the bills and the lights are still on! Truth is, the regular jobs that actually keep those lights on have been busier than normal. Couple that with two extended out of town weekends and a nasty fight with a headcold-turned-vertigo causing sinus infection…and well, there ya go! Things should hopefully be settling down and returning to normal…whatever that is. Thanks for your patience.
On that note, here’s the newsletter I put out this morning announcing our weekly CAUTION (Charlotte Tea Party) meeting. There are lots of things to jump back into over the next two weeks. Swing on by and say hello!
***************************************************************************
Greetings!
Folks, we have a very busy couple of weeks upon us with a wide variety of informative events scheduled by CAUTION and other friendly organizations in town. We’ve tried to include a comprehensive list in this email, so please read all the way through! (Click HERE to go straight to the event list.)
First up is CAUTION meeting #251A this evening at the Dilworth Neighborhood Grille from 6-7:30PM (5pm social hour). Our guest tonight is Dr. Oddy Crist, author and activist. (In italics below is a bit about Dr. Crist.) Also,CAUTION meeting #251B will be held this Wednesday as we welcome back Loren Spivack for part one of his full two day seminar! More info in the “upcoming events” section below.
When Dr. Crist arrived in America, she left behind a war torn, bombed out and horrified Germany. The cities still bore the evidence of WW2, which had raged on for so many terrifying years. The Allied Forces through their relentless bombing of cities, railroad bridges, even homes, and the ensuing fires brought Hitler’s horrendous and disastrous regime to an end.
Poverty, hunger, displaced people by the millions fleeing from the Eastern European countries ahead of the advancing cruel Russian Army made the reality of war even worse.
Dr. Crist’s family lived in the English occupied northern region of Germany. The English Commander found her grandparent’s farm with its land and many buildings very suitable for the English Headquarters, so for many years they laid claim to it. Having been bold enough to be part of an underground resistance movement to stow away and feed Jews from Gestapo police during the 1930’s and 1940’s, they petitioned the then governing powers to have their names cleared of being Nazi’s. After much paperwork and long waiting periods they were eventually successful.
When the time came for her parents to give consent for her to marry and American at 18 years of age, they agreed to let her move 6,000 miles away from her family to a strange country – America. It was their hope that this journey would ensure a better, safer, and more prosperous life for their daughter.
As Dr. Crist’s love for her new homeland grew and her patriotism for America increased, she became concerned about two things: First, it came to her attention that High School students in California could opt out of History classes (which looked to her like a formula for future disasters waiting to happen) and secondly she was appalled by the lack of participation, complacency, and even apathy of American voters when it came to being involved in the political and election processes.
Over the years, her concern for the downward slide of America and her citizens, brought ridicule, strong opposition, unbelief, bullying and even accusations of being a communist. Undeterred by such negative responses, Dr. Crist has followed her parents and grandparents example for standing up for her conventions, making a difference when obstacles arise and encouraging others to investigate, become involved, and make a difference themselves in preserving America.
Dr. Crist has been a very popular speaker at many area Tea Party and GOP organizations. It is a pleasure to welcome her to CAUTION.
