IN MEMORY
It brings us great sorrow to announce the passing of one of our dear
members, Joe Andre. Joe passed away on
March 12, 2015, at the age of 86. He was
a very active member in our club for 34 years.
Joe was a Trustee, a member of the Travel Club and an original member of
the Motorcycle Club. He is survived by
his wife, Gayle, who not only was also a long-time member, but also worked here
for many years. We didn’t get to see Joe
and Gayle much these last few years, after they moved to the Shelton area and
Joe’s health began to fail. Our sincere
sympathy goes out to Gayle and the family.
For those of us who remember Joe, he was a very loving and caring man
and will be missed
UPDATE ON THE CLUB’S INTERIOR
Lots of painting, patching, carpeting and fixing the dance floor work has
begun. Work will be done every Sunday as
we’re in the process of “freshening up” the club. Once the painting and patching is completed,
we will proceed with the new dance floor and carpets. Please help by supporting raffles and other
fundraising activities for this work.
THANK YOU, LIAM!
A big thanks to Trustee Liam Olsen for acquiring all the new replacement
ceiling tiles for the banquet room and main hall. Getting the tiles really saved the club a lot
of time and money!
CLEAN UP DAY, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 9 a.m.
Plan now to come on down and volunteer to help clean up the club, inside
and outside. Sign up at the front entry. Everyone’s help is needed!
LADIES AUXILIARY UPDATE
We had a very successful membership drive in February and March and
welcomed seven new members – Diane Kaetola, Ginni Swanson, Deby Alm, Lynn
Sherwood, Catherine Hendrickson, Mildred Mitchell and Ruth
MacDonald-Schmidt. They already
contributed their good ideas at our March 16 meeting, and we look forward to
working with them at future meetings.
As a result of input from our new members, the Ladies Auxiliary will make
a $75 donation to Einstein Elementary School in Redmond for its meal program
for needy students. In the future we
will also be working on other projects to aid needy, especially homeless,
students in the area.
The Auxiliary is currently collecting old but usable towels, and shoe
boxes for the Humane Society. Contact
Carole Browning if you have something to donate.
Exciting news – Mavis Board won the membership pot of $90.00. Congratulations, Mavis!
