February Meeting will be hosted by Sharon Simmons. We will initially have a design session to configure our “Las Madres Nightshirts”.

(more details to follow). After we have worked out the ideas, we will have a chance to learn a fun new game called Mexican Train.  Come join in the fun, and maybe this new game will be attempted as a couples event.

March "Spring Fling" Ladies Get-Away Weekend

The March "Spring Fling" is scheduled for March 24-26.  We had originally discussed a trip to Las Vegas, but that idea has been postponed.  Instead we will be traveling to Arnold & staying in a very nice cabin.  There are 3 bedrooms with beds for 6-- first 6 people to sign up get the beds & the rest can bring air mattresses & sleeping bags for the loft & floor areas.  The cabin has 2 baths & a nice kitchen.  The cost is only $150 for the whole weekend!  Such a deal!  (We will have to clean up after ourselves when we leave... but we're neat!)  People can go up to the ski resort if they wish, otherwise we will probably lounge around, play games & RELAX.  To reserve your spot be sure to call or e-mail Kathy (k.roessler@worldnet.att.net)

Free CD stand/stacker
Does anyone want a CD stand/stacker?  Michael was going to throw it away, but I will give it to anyone who wants it. I had it at the meeting and forgot about it.  It is about 1 ft. square, 5 layers, and each level holds about 50 CD's.  Perfect for someone with a growing collection, and maybe one of the kids would like it...Call Shirley

e-MAIL
This seems to be how women handle self image as they age:
Age 8: Looks at herself and sees Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty etc.
Age 15:  Looks at herself and sees Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/Cheerleader or if she is PMS'ing sees Fat/Pimples/UGLY ("Mom I can't go to school looking like this!")
Age 20:  Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but decides she's going anyway.
Age 30:  Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it so she's going anyway.
Age 40:  Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but says, "At least, I'm clean" and goes anyway.
Age 50: Looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes where ever she wants to.
Age 60: Looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.
Age 70: Looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life.
Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a red hat and goes out to participate in the world.
Age 90: Can't see and so doesn't worry about it!
