However, any member is welcome to attend one or all of the sessions. Also, it will definitely be co-ed. Please indicate your interest by signing the "Interested" sheet.

The Patricca family donated an additional $500 to this cause in memory of Tom's mother, who recently passed away and who loved children. Six children were supplied with new clothes and school supplies before school started this Fall. Thanks to all of you, and to the Patriccas. Betty McDonald chaired this committee, assisted by Marion Gladkowski and Cheryl Patricca. Betty is now retiring as Chair. Cheryl will take over as the new Chair. The three of you have certainly done a great job in helping these kids!

NEW DAWN SINGERS: The hall was filled last Wednesday evening to hear - and see - these wonderful singers and dancers. It was an absolutely super program - and understand they will be with us next year. Those who attended this year will be back - and if you weren't there on Wednesday, make plans to attend next year. It certainly puts one in the Christmas spirit. A big thank you to our Entertainment Committee!

THOUGHTS: Well, another year is almost over - and it certainly did fly by. They say that happens as one gets older, but I prefer to think all the activities at the Club are the reason. To each one of you, my wish is for a Merry Christmas, and for a Happy - and healthy - New Year! --- SJB
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Imagine:
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside.
Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE.
You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space
and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to
remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.
When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers appear
out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off.
Your engine was running, you would have your purse in the car and they
practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window LATER,
and be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to
friends and family especially to women!
A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone
getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!!!!!
Submitted by Alan Holdway (96 King Arthur Dr.) via e-mail - from local authorities.
