Hi,
We had a good
group and great meeting on the 13th. It started with a
BANG. A bottle of wine exploded when I was opening it.
What confusion and a mess. The meeting went
on.........Another bottle of wine was opened and we ate.
Anne is home
(for a while) and took over the meeting. There were 13 of
us plus Rudy. We agreed to go see Mama Mia and did so last
Sunday with a hamburger afterwards. Let Anne or me know if
you want another outing planned.
The next
meeting will be August 10th at Bob's house with Dot
co-hosting. Bob is going to get his grill going and we are
to bring what ever we want to cook. Some of our members
don't have access to outdoor grills and we all really enjoy
it, plus the lake view.
I plan to
leave for Houston Friday the 25th. No problems, just
needing time with family, especially the greatgrands. I plan
to return Monday or Tuesday.
Love Ya,
Alice

4-15-08 Hi,
Those of you who were
not at our Sunday meeting missed a fabulous meal at Pat's. Lovely
home....lovely view......lovely food......lovely people.
We are only 10 DAYS AWAY
FROM THE ITALIAN DINNER. Those attending Sunday are going to handle the
same jobs...provide same food,
wine, plates, glasses,
etc. The EFG will assist with serving (8). We are needing more servers
from Solo. Due to illnesses, knee replacements,
and family obligations
we are running short of servers. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF WE CAN DEPEND ON YOU
FOR THE 25th.
We can also use door
prizes or things for a silent auction.
Keep your receipts for
expenditures you want to be reimbursed. Remember it takes at least a week
to get a check due to the signatures required.
Our dinner is a
wonderful and popular event in our church and with the help of all of you we
will be able to continue doing in up in GRAND STYLE.
We welcomed a new member
from St. James, Debbie Knight. If you know others who are interested in
joining us......BRING THEM ON.

3-31-08 Sorry I have been so busy.....but on the 1st and 2nd of April I will be in Little Rock clearing out the house and putting it on the market. I have made arrangements for the yard to be raked and mowed.......the furnishings to be hauled away........garbage on the street........realtor to meet me there and house to be listed with REMAX and they will arrange for the cleaning when we are out. Unfortunately, my aunt still harbors the thought that she could have remained there and taken care of herself. But my answer is "maybe at 94 years YOUNG she could have stayed with help, but at 80 years OLD I could not be the one to provide the help and there was no one else". But to the dinner. I have all the info from our last dinner, and I believe at the last Solo meeting Anne said everyone would handle the jobs they had last year. There will be 8 round tables, 2 long tables seating 14 each, 3 long tables seating 12 each and 2 long tables seating 6 each. There will be 133 seating places, 120 tickets to be sold (Jackie is aware of this and will handle the printing of the tickets and notices the first part of April) and there will be only 1 seating as was last year. The round tables will seat 7. The EFG is eager to serve and if anyone has a special job they would prefer to do...please let me know. I know this seems like a late start, but Easter was so early and I have been so pre-occupied. We still have time to do it up grand. The next meeting will be on the 13th at Pat's house with me co-hosting. Please attend.....it's the final meeting before the dinner. Remember I have notes from the last dinner if anyone needs help. We need to remember to have enough food for the EFG and our Soloers. We plan to feed 120 (sold tickets) plus about 18 or 20 helpers. Love to all. Alice
