Do Not Attempt to Adjust
Your Picture
This writer advised that we are having technical difficulties
with our online bulletin caused by our internet service provider
moving our files to a new server (storage) system that is incompatible
with the software I've used since the start. The most obvious
result to the viewer are the garbled photos in last week's edition.
[Since then, the basic problem remains and will take time to
work around as the ISP is stumped on a fix. This means moving
to a new program, learning same, and incorporating our pages
into it. The good news is that I have a new crowbar that will
let me force the pages and photos into a viewable situation,
so no one should notice any difference.]
Working the Kettle
Sr. Member Warren Mitchell noticed the participation of the following
for the Salvation Army kettle, Friday, December 23: Paul Cotton,
Warren Mitchell, Don Nelson, Phil Bonafide, Roger Landry, Nancy
Williams, Charlie St. Clair, Larry Murphy, Kathy Calvin, Scott
Beane, Carroll Stafford, and Joe Collie. He noted that Past Pres.
Paul Cotton provided a ladder from which to hang our banner and
Steve Loughlin taking pictures every hour.
Uniformly Yours
Roger Landry took the final order for club shirts.
Dining Out
Roger Landry has dining out fundraising coupons for sale from
Community Health & Hospice for $30/book. He is handling this
as Past Pres. Phil Bonafide had a repeat surgery on his shoulder.
Timing Is Everything
Roger Landry noted that someone will be at the back door of Meredith
Village Savings Bank until 6:15p on meeting nights. So it's best
to show up on time. (Past Pres. Nancy Williams-Hunt, being a
softer touch, reports that there is a buzzer button to the right
of the door that will sound in our meeting room.)
Win a Classic!
Past Pres. Paul Cotton has put together a crew for our Hartford,
Connecticut, show. A sign-up sheet went around for our show at
the Shriners' Auditorium, Wilmington, Mass. Saturday, January
14--Set-up 8a: Paul Cotton, Warren Mitchell; 10a-2p: Roger Landry,
Pam Landry, ____________; 2p-5p: Don Nelson, Sue Nelson, ____________.
Sunday, January 15--10a-3p: ____________, ____________, ____________;
Take-down 3p-5p: Paul Cotton, Warren Mitchell.
Warming Up the Tree
Past Pres. Nancy Williams noted that her bank supports a Mitten
Tree as a fundraising device. For every knit mitten or hat that
is donated, the bank contributes $2 to a charity. Consequently,
we received $14 for someone's kind donation.
