Dear friends and supporters:

I trust this newsletter finds you in good health as we celebrate the season of Thanksgiving and
the birth of Jesus Christ. It has been a truly busy year as we made sacrifices to survive life's
daily challenges. Personally, I have drawn on the strength of the Lord, and continue to be
inspired by the wisdom of my departed wife, Andria, who continues to watch over us all.

As we mark the third year of her passing in January, it's hard to believe that she has been gone
for such a long time. No doubt because we continue to be touched by her spirit and the lessons
she shared with each of us. I have also drawn on the values my parents instilled in me to help me navigate today's treacherous terrain. They taught me right from wrong, and the special time
when respect, honor and a person's character meant something more than the size of their bank account. One of the most important things that Andria and I taught the children from a very young age was that if you do good things, good things happen. And when you do bad things, bad things happen and as the Holy Book teaches us: Bad company corrupts good character.

In this great country of ours we have taken so much for granted and the time is ripe for all of us
to reflect on the lessons we learned from earlier interventions at church, with our elders and with
our parents. We all have a road to travel and what we do along the way is what life is all about. Therefore, it's time for us all to get tougher, stand taller and do more - to fulfill our potential.
As we chart The SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A Foundation into its third year, there is so much trouble in
the world: from natural disasters at home and abroad, the quest for democracy in the Arab world
and of course, the global economic challenges. But that's no excuse to sit idly by.

Living in a demanding world means that we too must be demanding, strong and steadfast in doing what is right for ourselves, our families and our communities. Change is the only constant in life,
so let's count our blessings and get busy by helping ourselves and helping others who are less fortunate change their circumstance. This is what Andria's legacy is all about. We honor her by keeping her legacy alive - by giving back to the next generation of broadcast media professionals
and supporting communities. As we close out year three, we extend our grateful thanks to
everyone who has supported the SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A Foundation since our inception.

Sincerely,

Clayton Sizemore
Chairman
SpeakEasy MEDIA Foundation
