From the Prez
Due to back to
school meetings and conflicting activities the September meeting
has been cancelled. Those that were at coffee last Saturday, fine
tuned the details for the party, so it was decided a meeting prior
was not necessary. I think we are set to have a great "bash".
Please remember we will need help setting up and cleaning up afterwards.
Hope you can help.
The meeting for October 20 has no one assigned to host, so we thought if someone would volunteer to be the contact person and coordinator to plan a movie night and dinner at Oakridge Mall. Please let Ginny or Sue Butler know if you are interested in planning this activity.
Don't forget to sign up and pay for the Ladies Trip for October 7-9. All interested should get their deposit into Vicki. Should be great beach weather. Those signed up are:
Mary Ryan
Kathy
Mary Jo
Joan + guest
Vicki
Randi
Robin
Janis
Sue Butler
For the reunion, the games we are planning on are foosball, ping pong, Mexican Train, Carom, and Poker/blackjack. Any other games people can bring, and set on the table, and see if they get used. Other activities are planned also.
We're just going to have background music. Sue Butler only has a single CD player. Rather than changing after every CD, if someone has a multiple player, let her know if we can borrow it. If all who could bring your CD's (with your name on it) so we can enjoy for the evening, that would be great.
Please send a recent picture or two of your family or kids, favorite old photo, or ? to Ginny by e-mail so she can add it to the slide show.
The cost $10.00 per person. Current club members are asked to bring a substantial appetizer AND a dessert. FINGER FOOD ONLY! Beer, wine, soda, and water will be provided.

August Meeting Recap
We had a nice
casual salad potluck at Randi's. Kathy brought enough taco salad
for an army and all the salads were yummy. Send your recipes to
Ginny to add to our website(I sent my curry chicken salad recipe
that someone asked for). We discussed our anniversary plans and
went through our book boxes. The extra books not taken were donated
to Bridgepoint for their library. So we can start a new book box
in November since there is no September meeting and October we
are going to the movies(tentatively).
42nd Street
David and Randi
are in Pioneer's Glue Factory production of "42nd Street"
on October 27, 28, and 29. The shows are at Hoover Theater(next
to Lincoln High School) at 7 pm each night plus there is a matinee
on Saturday at 2pm. The tickets are $15 for adults and $6 for
students and seniors. You can send Randi a check (made out to
Pioneer) or you can order them yourself online at ticketmaster.com
(there is a surcharge for doing that). Since there is limited
seating(real theater seats!) at the theater, it is suggested you
get your tickets early. "42nd Street" has such memorable
tunes as "Lullabye of Broadway," "Shuffle off to
Buffalo," "We're in the Money," and of course "42nd
Street!" Hope to see you there!
Mediterranean Cruise
Update
We now have 7
couples signed up for the cruise for next summer. There is still
room for YOU! Call Betty at (800) 688-8500 to leave your deposit.
Also if you have any questions you can ask her or Randi. Remember
you can get your deposit back all the way until the beginning

about going. Hope you can join us! (Anyone interested in taking
Italian with me? I signed up through Metro Ed for their 8 week
class starting on Nov. 9(Wed.) from 7-9p.m. at Willow Glen Senior
Center. It should be fun! The '06 Celebrity cruise brochures are

Survivor - Public School!
Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show?
Three businessmen and
three businesswomen will be dropped into 3
elementary school classrooms for 6 weeks.
Each business person will
be provided with a copy of his/her school
district's curriculum, and a class of 28 students.
Each class will have five
learning-disabled children, three with A.
D.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English.
Three will be labeled with severe behavior problems..
Each business person must
complete lesson plans at least 3 days in
advance with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify,
organize,
or create materials accordingly.
They will be required
to teach students, handle misconduct, implement
technology, document attendance, write referrals, correct homework,
make
bulletin boards, compute grades, complete report cards, document
benchmarks, communicate with parents, and arrange parent conferences.
They must also supervise
recess and monitor the hallways. In
addition, they will complete drills for fire, tornadoes, and shooting
attacks.
They must attend 100 hours
of workshops, faculty meetings, union
meetings, and curriculum development meetings.
They must also tutor those
students who are behind and strive to get
their 2 non-English speaking children proficient enough to take
the
AIMS/TERRA NOVA tests.
If they are sick or having
a bad day, they must not let it show.
Each day they must incorporate reading, writing, math, science,
and
social studies into their program.
They must maintain discipline
and provide an educationally
stimulating environment at all times.
The business people will
only have access to the golf course on the
weekends, but on their new salary they will not be able to afford
it
anyway.
There will be no access
to vendors who want to take them out to
lunch, and lunch will be limited to 30 minutes. On days when they
do
not have recess duty, the business people will be permitted to
use
the staff restroom as long as another survival candidate is
supervising their class.
They will be provided
with two, 40-minute planning periods per week
while their students are at activity classes. If the copier is
operable, they may make copies of necessary materials at this
time.
The business people must
continually advance their own education on
their own time, and pay for this advanced training themselves.
This
can be accomplished by moonlighting at a second job or marrying
someone with money.
The winner will be allowed to return to his or her former job.
