Pat's Travels

Well, the summer is over and so is the vacation. A truly wonderful week.

I started in Pa, going to the railroad and trolley museums in Rockhill, Pa. Next to Boston, for a nights rest.

From this central point, I went to Kennebunkport, Maine to see another trolley museum, the Bradley Air Museum, Plymouth Rock and the Indian Motorcycle Museum in Springfield, Mass. Where I was greeted as one of the few women motorcycle riders.

Health Problems

Jillian, our magician, is having a major health problem and may not make the Oct. meeting. The diagnosis is Non-Hochkins Lymphoma. The outlook is good, she in on chemo and the doctors are giving her a good chance.

August Meeting

The August meeting was a farewell for Patty and Kristy. We will miss them, but hope they will visit.

Wives Meeting

With the loss of Patty, and Judy leaving by the end of the year, the future does not look good. We need wives! Anyone into bigamy?

Dinner and a Movie

The next one should be October 30. The day before Halloween, we should be able to have our own mischief night. I wonder what movies will be showing?

Girls Night Out

Anyone wishing information about future NIGHT OUT events and dates should contact Alice.

Re-Elected

Pat has been re-elected as the vice-chair of the Washington Crossing Renaissance Chapter. Her side-kick, Ronnie is the new Treasurer. Washington Crossing is currently working on their Holiday Party.

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 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.

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.

Christmas

I went to Frenchtown on Aug.6 and found that our reservation had been lost. This has been corrected. We will even have a changing room. We will have the whole lower floor, just as we did last year.

I will get more information in October.

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

An elderly gent was invited to his old friend's home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms--Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.

The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his host, "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years you still call your wife those loving pet names."

The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth," he said, "I forgot her name about 10 years ago."
