January Meeting
When: Thursday, January 17, 6:30 pm
Where: Sally's House
What: Our Annual Planning Meeting


Come to the January PLANNING/DINNER/WHITE ELEPHANT  meeting on Thursday, January 17, at Sally's house.  She is also the club presdent, so someone will need to take her spot on the executive decision committee.  We do have the last decision the committee made in November to present, regarding reimbursement for drivers on the Ladies Trips.

Let's start at 6:30 so that we can eat, and plan the year, and battle over the gifts in a new way.
Bring a calendar, some new ideas of things to do and places to go, a white elephnat if you would like to participate and something for the potato bar. (RSVP Sally to let her know what you'll be bringing.) Also any leftover paper goods you don't want.  I will donate a plastic storage bin, (it can stay at my house, if desired, until I move) to use at our meetings--I  think this was Shirley or Janis's idea.

Our theme this year is OLD FRIENDS/NEW EXPERIENCES

Dinner is a stuffed potato bar: sign up for an item below and reply all:

Dessert:  Sally - cranberry apple crisp
Tea and coffee:  Sally
sour cream;  Ginny
potatoes (I can bake them if you drop them off the day before--or bring them hot and I"ll keep them in a warming oven):  Merrilee
chili:  Robin
cheese:  Randi
chives and salsa:  Sue Butler
bacon bits:  Janis
broccoli:  Marti
salad:  Tina
salad:  Sue Ballard
appetizer:  Marilyn
What ever I forgot:

Happy New Year............Sally

Christmas Party Recap

Thank you to Janis for hosting our annual Christmas party this year.  We all enjoyed a wonderful time......eating......laughing......and catching up with each other.......not to mention our gift exchange where most of the gifts were "frozen" by the end.
Thanks to Sue Butler we are now "frozen" in time.
Christmas 2012

Welcome to the World!

Riley Claire
    Sara and Mike and brother Jack welcomed Riley Claire into their family December 26th.
Everyone is thrilled that she is not a Christmas baby.


Pinecrest

We will be planning to try to get camping spots starting for July 21st arrival- most of us usually arriving later that week.  That means starting the online routine on January 21st at 7 AM.  Get your fingers ready!  Shirley

Los Padres Golf

Reservations have been made for this summer's men's  golf outing from May 31-June 2 @ Smith House in Forest Meadows.


Saturday Coffee Clatches Continue

We meet every Saturday morning at 9 am at Le Boulanger at San Felipe and Yerba Buena.  There is a Starbucks across from it if you need something "special" to go with your bagel or pastry.   This month Merrilee will be hosting our "away" coffee at her new home on Saturday, January 19th.  (Check back for details.)


As your new coffee coordinator for 2013, I am asking for suggestions for away coffee destinations.  Any and all suggestions are welcome.  Also, if you would like to host an away coffee, please let me know.  Merrilee has graciously offered to host the January away coffee at her new place on 1/19.  Our regular coffee place still remains Le Boulanger on San Felipe road at 9:00 on Saturdays.

Three Ladies in a Sauna

THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED.
THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG.
THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, 'THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE.
I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.'

THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.
SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.

THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.
THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID..........WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT...........I'M GETTING A FAX!!
