From the President
by Wally Turnbull
|
Our clan is a big extended family. We enjoy learning about our
ancestors including those who were heroes and those who were
villains. We also enjoy learning about each other when we meet at
clan events and here in the pages of the Bullseye. |

|
Besides getting to know each other we must also care about each other.
That is part of being in the same family. Our earliest ancestors formed
the clan system to support each other. The clans sometimes feuded with
each other but within the clan unity and support have been traditional.
We have all heard it said “laugh, and the world laughs with you;
weep, and you weep alone.” This may sometimes be true but it should
not be so, especially not among clan family members. When times are
difficult and when we are suffering is when we need each other the most.
Of course those who are the closest to us are usually there for us but
how nice it is when we receive an unexpected but welcome surprise word
of encouragement from a more distant friend.
We want to encourage more Sharing and Caring
among TCA members. Share your joys and your sorrows with us, your clan
family members. We may not be able to solve your problems but we can
and do care. Those of us who pray can include you in our prayers.
Everyone can wish a good thought and some may want to send a word of
encouragement. We will not publish addresses and phone numbers but they
are available to members on request from secretary@turnbullclan.com.
Please share your
joys of births, marriages, anniversaries, and reunions as well as your
sorrows of deaths, illness, and other sufferings with us. We do care.
Whether you are smiling or weeping we do care and we want to share and
care with you. Write to
editor@turnbullclan.com.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Update
TCA is happy to report that we have
been able to contact all but one of the members in the regions
affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. A few power outages, lost
trees and some minor roof damage is all that was reported. We are
thankful for the good report and that everyone is safe.
