The
La Cawañian
La
Cañada, CA – October 2, 2002
Frosty
Boyd, Guest Editor
PREOPERATIVE
PREPARATION: After the usual outstanding piano attitude adjusting,
things began to heat up. Upon hearing the “Gong”, the usual
initiation “en mass walk out”, ultimately joined by the New
President, finally resulted in some order. Ed Moulton led us in “God
Bless America”, the Flag Salute, a la Bob Martin, followed by a most
appropriate invocation via Ken Lowe. The rest of the head table included
our President, Bob Wallace, Nancy Valentine Avila and Ron Bitzer
GUESTS Joe Thompson, newly installed Lt. Governor, Bea Circar,
Ken Johnson, Glen Chafin, Diane Seely, Shirley De Grey.
NEW MEMBER INDUCTION was ably performed by Membership Chairmen
Paul Westmorland and Ed Moulton.. BEA CIRCAR, SPONSORED by Pat Anderson,
now merely member, who has enjoyed Bea as a neighbor for 30 years. Bea
incidentally was Secretary of Labor under FDR in 3/4/33. Bea took home
the beautiful plant supplied by a grateful Pat.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: KUDOS to Clyde Hemphill and Ed Moulton for 10
interclubs during the month of September. New Information sheets re;
committee requests were noted. NEW B.O.D. meet tomorrow 7.00 PM. At Cal
Fed 2nd floor meeting Room.. New Directory out next month. Daryl Gant
requesting program ideas. Next Week we join the Corbitts on a “Spice
Route” to India. Following week Joe Thompson on coming year
anticipations. Doris Horwith added her pleas to get the reports in,
please!
Jim Ackland, gave a rather emphatic “chest pointing” command and
plea to complete a super round robin this year…or else. First one next
week with the A.M. club, followed by a meet at the Hill Street
Restaurant for bran muffins.
HAPPY SAD BUCKS Bob started with congrats to predecessors
“FROSTY CHALLENGE” (tell better joke and get to pay $5.00??).
something about driving a bus and keeping track of whatever. Pat
Anderson “relief” bucks. Mary Gant for getting ALL of the
signatures! Joe Thompson for new Newsletter.
DRAWING went to Tom Stafford…who sold the tickets!
PROGRAM Nancy Valentine Avila, brought Ron Bitzer, Director of
Planned Giving at KTTV. Aging and planned care giving is an ever
increasing challenge in our society.
A very touching and emotion laden story , led into an excellent video of
needs and what is being done, mostly by volunteers, via anecdotes.
Assisted Living is a new frontier in this area, and is being addressed.
A touching and pertinent program.
THE DOOR TO THE HUMAN HEART CAN BE OPENED ONLY FROM THE INSIDE.
