But hold on . We will definitely be making up for this during our spring and summer months. So hang in there with us, there’s more fun to come! Yes, that’s right—more fun to come, starting with our Annual Opening Day event on April 7. Don’t miss this celebration of our fifty-first year! For our newer members and those new to the yachting community and protocol, this event kicks off the boating season with the installation of this year’s commodore. Opening Day ceremony and activities are planned and coordinated by Junior Staff Commodore, Tommy Wheeler. I hope you all will support this special event. Other notes of fun and progress for 2018: My letter last month reviewed several of the new community programs we are initiating at Navy Yacht Club Long Beach in support of our local veterans. Following our successful Long Beach VA Hospital PIER (Partnership In Effective Recovery) Center clothing drive in January, I met with representatives of Long Beach VA Hospital and initiated a partnership in support of their Women Veterans Program (WVP).

Undisturbed for centuries and isolated from the mainland, unusual species of birds, plants, reptiles and some mammals developed on the rocky, volcanic atolls of the Enchanted Isles. Darwin's visit and subsequent studies of the island's flora and fauna in 1835 contributed to the formulation of his theory on the evolution of species and brought this fascinating ecosystem to the attention of the world. The park, Ecuador's largest, was established in 1959 to protect the archipelago's unique environment and wildlife.

  • I Believe in Man
    LIEVEm MAN - 2- LORD SORENSEN I BELIEVE IN MAN LORD SORENSEN I thank you. For all your cherished gifts of fellowship and thought, Yowheart's loving-kindness and stalwart constancy, The faith you made manifest in the good you sought And kinshi* in striving to sha$e the world to be. I give you . Gold from a vein in my own invisible mine, A casket of treasures that last eternally, A flask of sun-blest juice drawn from memory's vine, And a star that came from a shrouded galaxy. R.W.S. THE LINDSEY PRESS The Lindsey Press, 1-6 Essex Street, London WC 2 FOREWORD 0 THE LINDSEY PRESS 1970 I HAVE been impelled to embody my reflections in this small book not, I hope, out of vanity, but because a few have urged me from time to time to do so, and because I feel there may be some thoughts that I may contribute from my experience which may prove helpful to some modem minds. I am very conscious that there are many who are more qualified academically than I am to deal with profound issues involved in the nature of man, but my long activity in the fields of worthy causes of politics, human. problems and spiritual needs may have its own singular value. Organised religion has waned through the diffusion of , scientific knowledge, the substantial raising of living standards by human effort, and the ampler leisure that has provided greater scope for the expression of the human spirit. Nevertheless, I believe that in at least some among the mass of those who are or appear to be irreligious, indifferent, cynical, self-satisfied or hedonistic, or who find fulfilment in humanistic movements, there persists a deep need for "more abundant life" and an enduring faith that can inspire their minds and hearts.
