October 2016 President’s Message

When was the last time you heard the song. I’LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS? It was what the band played 90% of the time for the last dance in high school and college. It was the signal that it was time to go home..or at least the band was going to stop playing and the dance was ending

For the next few months I plan to go to the Lawrence Welk Resort on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 8:00 to enjoy CHAMPAGNE DIXIE play music you would remember in an upbeat style. We sit outside at tables or on couches on front of the theater.There is a bar, a pizza place and their chefs serve a good dinner for $10. Eating is not necessary. I have followed this band for several years and enjoy their music and watching the dancers on the much used dance floor. It can get cold in winter, so I dress warmly and casually. They cancel if it rains. Last year it rained a lot on Tuesdays. Anyway, they play I’ll see u in my dreams as their closing tune. My memory goes way back to old happy times.

Our Ice Cream Social was relaxing and tasty. Yes, it was social. Carla and helpers had a delicious idea. Thanks to the helpers with setting up and taking down, and scooping and providing cookies.

I used my new ENTERTAINMENT BOOK. The coupon appeared for an old favorite restaurant that hadn’t been in the book before. ENTERTAINMENT books are good to give family and friends as birthday or holiday gifts. Doris sold 10 books already.

We are sorry to report that Marilyn and Jim Groover are moving to southern Washington to live in a less urban setting. We are happy that they stopped in Vista for 6 years and joined our group. She will join a Newcomers group again, just as she found us when she left her previous club.

Our new blue membership roster is out. Help Karen Taylor by coming to meeting to get your copy.

Trudy, Toby, Marilyn F., and Mary Held, participated in thanking ARCADIA PLACE residents for offering us a meeting place for the last 25 years. We gave them cash winnings at BINGO. They had a good time, and we are happy to have a meeting place
