President's Message
I hope everyone enjoyed their well deserved holiday break. I know I did! The Music Committee was not able to arrange a reasonably priced holiday activity for us. They hoped all of you sang Christmas carols at sometime over your break! In January, the Executive Board will meet at the Water Club Grill at 4:00. Dinner will be at 5:30 and the January Business Meeting will begin at 7:00. Be sure to bring your completed Recommendation for Membership form to the January meeting. I hope to see everyone there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. SEUSS! WAYNE COUNTY FAMILY CENTER Health News: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT Gamma Alpha Bulletin: GAB
Nancy Bielik spent several months last winter in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. I wonder where she'll be this winter? Let us know, Nancy. June Chartrand and husband Bob are in South Africa visiting friends for the next month. June was diagnosed for a duodenal ulcer problem which she had taken care of before she left for her trip. June had no symptoms for her problem. Her doctor gave her medication which she is to take for four months and a have a check-up upon her return. June says, "The mystery is: without symptoms, how will I know when I'm improving?" When you get the final bill, June. Carol Holland and Grace Morgan have firm travel plans for Australia and New Zealand. Ask them for details. They haven't told me! Bonnie Schweitzer fell in October and has a broken hip. She is confined to home and needs a walker to get around. A call or a card would cheer Bonnie up. Abby Roche sent Esther Loskowske a Christmas note to share with us. Click here to read.
