Wednesday, 12/1/21

Good morning,

Welcome to December 2021!  So, the year is beginning to wind down.  

But holiday festivities are picking up.  And local sheriff's and police departments are well aware.  They've been alerting me like crazy of DUI safety checks etc.  Keep it safe!

On that note, next week is Older Driver Safety Awareness Week - it's

worth taking a look at this article and considering

 it for your loved ones.

Brea's Holiday Show

is looking like a great holiday event!  Plus others are working on the Toy Drive circuit.  So be sure to bring a toy and help make a less fortunate kid happy this holiday season.

Finally, iDSC reader Stephen VamVaketis is organizing another fun cruise.  Details for that are on the bottom of this newsletter.  And he's asking for RSVPs no later than Sunday, 12/5.  While I haven't been personally I hear his groups have a lot of fun.  And everyone is welcome - whatever you're driving. :0)

Happiest of holidays my friend,
