Chi Delta Mu Dinner - Dance

The Dinner-Dance had to be canceled, as there were not enough reservations to cover the cost.

Meeting suggestion

A suggestion was made that we try a video - lipsink evening so we can all see how we look. What do you think? We can talk about it at the meeting.

Incorporation

Some of you may already know that neighbor in Washington Crossing will be incorporating. As the vice-chair of that group, I have been working with the chair on this project. It is my plan that once they have finished, we will follow there lead, and copy most of there work.

If we are able to do this, we might be able to save money as a tax exempt corporation and be protected in other ways.

Sickness

Several of our members have been ill lately. Jenny has an ongoing health problem and Melissa spent four days in the hospital.

Pat will be going in for tests on April 13 and 14, but does not expect any problems.

PICNIC

Our annual picnic will be on June 24 at the Church. The charge will be $10.00 per person.

All are welcome, and the members of all groups in the area will be invited.

The chapter will provide the burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, soda, coffee, condiments, chips and dips. Anyone who wishes to may bring food. Cover dishes and deserts would be a good idea unless you wish to bring a roast turkey, shrimp, or something of that type.

ALCOHOL is NOT PERMITTED.

Wives, children, and friends will be welcome, but we will have to charge for them.

Dinner and a Movie

The next five Saturdays month is THIS MONTH. If you are interested, contact Pat.

Girls Night Out

Alice is going to try to continue the "Girls Night Out" even after she moves to Pennsylvania. Anyone wishing information about future NIGHT OUT events and dates should contact Alice.

Weekend in Pennsylvania

Anyone wishing to spend a weekend with Alice in Pennsylvania contact Alice.

New Members IDEA

The North Jersey group had EIGHT new members at their last meeting. I was told that they well found in chat rooms. If you are in any of these, try to fine members by talking about our group. Any member may bring someone that they have meet.

HUMOR????

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on.

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the wallpaper. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals and track expenses. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W."
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on "START"............
