INTERCLUBBING - CANADA THURSDAY APRIL 15TH OUR DAY IN CANADA! Canadian American week has changed to May but our trip will still be in April as it has been for all years remembered.
Interclub Chairman Tom Wood has selected the 3rd Thursday in April as the one for our yearly trip to the Chilliwack Seniors, The Chilliwack Club and the Abbotsford Club. He needs to know who plans to attend so he can report the number to the Clubs we are attending. He also needs to know who the volunteer drivers will be. You will need a passport, birth certificate or driver's license at the border. A bank will be located for money exchange. If you wish there is time to sightsee, shop or relax at the Canadian Legion. This would be a great opportunity for our newer members to acquaint themselves with our brothers and sisters across the line. Always a most enjoyable interclub. GIVE TOM YOUR NAME TODAY. P. S. We go around 7:00AM NOTE: Date has now been changed to May
WRITTEN AND UNWRITTEN RULES ABOUT PROGRAMS Obviously the person in charge of selecting programs for the month wants them to be interest to the membership. Always avoid speakers promoting a certain religion, one who is promoting party political issues, a person whose goal in talking to the club is to try and get them to contribute to their pet project. (We do have a budget that is full of contributions). We inform them that they have from 10:30 to 11:00 to present their program so the president should see that the business portion of the meeting concludes at 10:30 sharp. Members should not try to continue past that time. The program chair should make certain the guest concludes (including questions) by the 11:00 AM deadline). The guest is always welcome to stay over and talk to any of the members. These are just a few suggestions keeping our meeting in a business like fashion showing that we are well organized and efficient.
DICTIONARIES AND THIRD GRADE On March 23rd Wally Walsh, Doris Wentworth and Tom Wood passed out dictionaries to all third graders at Totem Falls Elementary School. On the 25th, Sonla Rahm, Doris Wentworth and Tom Wood made distribution at Cascade View Elementary School. Teachers and the libraries also furnished with the books.
ELECTION TIME NEARS Nomination Committee Chairman Cliff Bailey and his group have been busy putting a slate of possible officers together to present to the membership for consideration. When election time arrives there is the opportunity to nominate from the floor. Offices for consideration are President, President Elect, VicePresident, Treasurer, and three board members. The secretary is selected by the incoming president who presents the name to the Executive Board for their approval. The outgoing president is automatically on the Board for one year. For those selected, this is most important as you are in charge of making decisions for the club membership, so accepting the office should not be taken lightly, but one which decides the direction the Club is going, program, how your money is spent. And for those not selected, be willing to serve on whatever committee you feel you have an interest in. Every one who is physically able should be involved.
KEEPING IN TOUCH During Gary Maxfield's two terms as President, he initiated a program of keeping in touch. It wasn't difficult to follow. Each week a member would volunteer to call a missing person on the phone. We would also have those shut-ins visited each week. This was a real valuable tool used to let the members know that they were being thought of and the club was interested in their well-being. A suggestion by your shy editor.. When a member is in some way not able to be cognizant of the fact their dues are due, how about the treasurer bringing this up to the Board for their OK to pass the hat? It would be voluntary by members if they contribute or not.. If any money is left over, it could be retained to help some other member in like circumstances. Let your board members know how you feel about this. There should be no hat passing until the Board has reviewed the situation and given the "green" light on the request. We did have a review committee when Don Ness was president to check things out for the Board.
THICK 'N' ZESTY RIBS
Place ribs in a greased 13 in x 9 in. x 2-in. baking dish. Rub with garlic salt. Bake, uncovered at 350° for 45 minutes; drain. Combine remaining ingredients, mix well. Pour over ribs. Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes or until ribs are tender, basting several times. Yield: 4 servings.
LIFE'S GREATEST pleasures are the simple ones, like seeing the driver who cut ahead of you on the freeway get pulled over three miles down the road..
DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH COFFEE IN THE MORNING. IF YOU DO YOU'LL TOSS AND TURN ALL THROUGH THE WORKDAY
For those of us born before 1945, WE ARE SURVIVORS!! Consider the things we have witnessed. We were born before television, before penicillin, before polio shots, frozen food, Xerox, plastic, contact lens, frisbees and the pill. We were born before radar, credit cards, split atoms, lasers and ballpoint pens, before panty hose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air-conditioners drip-dry clothes, and before men walked on the moon. We got married first and then lived together. How quaint! In our time, closets were for clothes, not for coming out of. Bunnies were small rabbits, and rabbits were not Volkswagens. Designer Jeans were scheming girls named Jean and meaningful relationships meant getting along with your cousins. We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent, and outer space was the back of the Princess theater. We were born before house-husbands, dual careers, computer dating and gay rights, before day care centers, nursing home and group therapy. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric typewriters, word processors, organ transplants, yogurt, pizza or guys wearing earrings. For us "gay" meant "gay". Time-sharing meant being together, not computers or condominiums. A chip was a piece of wood, hardware was hardware, and software wasn't even a word! In 1940, "made in Japan" meant JUNK, and the term "making out" referred to how you did on your exam. There were 5 and 10 cent stores where you bought things for 5 or 10 cents. For one nickel you could ride a street car or make a phone call or buy a soda or ice cream cone or enough stamps to mail a letter and two postcards. You could buy a a new Chevy for $600, but who could afford one? And that was a pity, because gas was 11 cents a gallon! In our day, cigarette smoking was fashionable, grass was something you mowed, coke was a drink, and pot was something you cooked in. Rock music was grandmother's lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the principal's office. We certainly were not born before the difference between sexes was discovered, but definitely before Unisex and sex changes. We made do with what we had, and were the last generation that thought a woman needed a husband to have a baby! No wonder we get confused sometimes, and no wonder there's a generation gap! But we survived. And by golly that calls for celebration!!
