April Meeting
The April meeting was a trip. A trip to the Dressbarn. I had told Meggin
I would take her, and five of us went with her. We spent about 2 hours in
the store (and some money). All had fun. We must try this again.
I went back the next Saturday in MALE MODE, just to shock the workers.
That was also fun.
Wives Meeting
There was no wives meeting in April. Only three wives came to the meeting
and one of them went to the Dressbarn with us.
May Meeting
Trish Sheridan of Lady Remington will be here in May and we will also be
doing I.D. Cards for any who wish to get one. Trish will be doing a program
on jewelry and accessories. All of her jewelry caries a lifetime guarantee.
I have al large amount of Lady Remington jewelry and have taken advantage
of the guarantee. It really works.
ELECTIONS
June is election month. If anyone is interested in running for office,
let me know. If there are no new nominations, the old officers will remain
in office.
Girls Night Out
Anyone wishing information about future NIGHT OUT events and dates should
contact Alice.
Tri-Ess National
If we are to remain a Tri-Ess Chapter, all members must join Tri-Ess
National. If you do not wish mail sent to you home, it can be sent to
the chapter P.O. Box. If the annual fee is the only problem, speak to
Pat, something might be arranged.
National will be re-certifying the chapter soon, and this is a must.
If you have any ideas or comments, please mail or email Pat.
New Members
We are always looking for new members. Any member may bring someone
that they have meet. Please go out of your way to make a new member
of visitor feel welcome and at home.
I have interviewed several in the past month and hoe that some will
come to the meeting.
$ MONEY $
The attendance at meetings is going down, and some members will soon be
moving out of the area. If attendance does not improve, we may have some
real money problems.
Programs
ANY IDEAS????
Anyone have an idea for a meeting?
October will be the Halloween Party and Dec. is the Christmas Party.
The picnic is back to June. The rest of the year is open. If you
have an idea, please give it to me. If you know of someone who can/will
give a program, tell me. We might try a trip to the Dress Barn if enough
girls want to go.

Picnic
Alice has reserved the church for the picnic. The date is June 26, our
normal June meeting date. The starting time will be about 4:00 P.M. but
some help will be needed before that time to set up the
tents, chairs etc. ABOUT 2:00 P.M.
Joyce is providing the tents and is trying to find some gas grills that we
can use for free. In the past we have had to rent this equipment
Christmas
I Contacted the Hotel about Christmas and have reserved the rooms for Dec. 11.
Dinner and a Movie
May will be the next dinner and a movie night. Since I will not have to
work that day, we should be able to get a good early start. Maybe even
do a bit of shopping the same day.
I have been told about another restaurant that is friendly, so we might
try it in May.
A Funny Thing Happened
At a recent meeting of another group, a member was helping to cleanup
after the meeting. She needed a place to put her key and put it in her bra.
Later, she could not find her key. When someone asked if she had checked
her pockets, she said she had no pockets. Just then everyone remembered
her saying she had never done that before when she put the key in her bra.
We all had a good laugh.
HELP! WITH NEWSLETTER
For those who know me, this might come as a surprise, but I could use
some help with articles for the newsletter. Simply email anything to me that
might be of interest. Please keep it to about one half of a page as I do not
have the time to edit and I can not put long articles in the newsletter.
HUMOR "A BED TIME STORY"
One night George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed.
He awakens to see George Washington standing beside him. Bush looks up
and asks, "George, what's the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did," Washington advises,
then fades away.
The next night, Bush is astir again when he sees the ghost of Thomas
Jefferson moving silently around the bedroom. Bush calls out: "Tom, please!
What is the best thing I could do to help the country?" "Respect the
Constitution, as I did," Jefferson advises, and then dims from sight.
The third night sleep still evades Bush. He sees the ghost of FDR hovering
over his bed. Bush lowers his voice and asks, "Franklin, What is the best
thing I could do to help the country? " In that golden voice of his, FDR
replies, "Help the less fortunate, just as I did," and then he disappears.
Bush still isn't sleeping well the fourth night. He tosses and turns, and
suddenly another figure moves out of the shadows. It's the ghost of Abraham
Lincoln."Abe," Bush pleads, "what's the best thing I can do right now to help
the country?" Lincoln pauses, then replies, "Go see a play.
