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

Hi, 

Sorry to be so late with this e-mail. Been pampering myself.

We had a really great meeting at Anne's house.  She and Kathy served wonderful food and we had a lot of interesting

conversations and as always lots of fun.

 Anne is in Georgia and will return the 3rd of July.

If any of you have an event you would like to go to or participate in let me know.

Maurine is now our treasurer....I'm too stingy with money to be a good one.

The next meeting will be mine and Maurine's.  We've made no plans yet, but as usual we will have a grand ole time on July 13th.

Love to all.

Alice

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.

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
