MAL CORNER
A Message from our Vice President:
We have MALs all over the country!
Hello, Members at Large!
As we move into November, the changing weather reminds us that the holiday season is right around the corner! Whether you’re unpacking your sweaters in the Midwest, watching the leaves fall in the South, or already feeling a winter chill up North, it’s a time of preparation, reflection, and gratitude. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it — along with all the joy (and bustle!) they bring.
​
November is also National Endeavor Month (every odd-numbered year), and WINGS will once again appreciate all donations made, whether by chapters or individuals. You all received an email in September with details (or a USPS version for some), and I hope you’ll consider contributing to this very special cause. Thank you in advance for your generosity and Kiwi spirit!
​
Whether traveling or staying close to home to celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish you all a safe and joyful holiday with your families and friends! And, to our November Birthday Babies, have a fabulous day and enjoy all the cake your heart desires!
​
Till next month — stay well and positive!
​
Kiwi Hugs,
Linda
MAL Member Spotlight
KARIN JONES is one of our Members at Large who loves staying busy in retirement. She has participated in un-told for two years and is planning another “semi-true” story to share with a new audience in 2026.
​
Please send me your own stories about awesome things you do and have done!
un-told is a groundbreaking storytelling show, that brings laughter and inspiration to SoCal’s South Bay community. The mission of un-told is to connect people through community, laughter, and inspiration. Everyone has a story to tell and un-told gives those who want it an opportunity to share their (mostly) true story on stage for a live audience.
un-told was born in 2021 in Redondo Beach to Dawn Zarnick and Brandy Wimmer. The two friends felt like the world could use some laughter and inspiration so they set out to produce the inaugural show. It was a hit playing two nights in Southern California at San Pedro’s Grand Annex theatre to sold-out audiences each night.
un-told is going into its 4th season which will present on January 23 and 24, 2026.
