1February 2016 Evergreen Club Newsletter • 250-338-1000 • evergreenclub.me

Greetings everyone!!....2016 is well upon us and here at the Evergreen Club we are well into our 2016 program. The

holiday activities proved popular and functions were well attended. By all reports those that took in the Christmas and

New Years Eve activities were well fed and entertained and many thanks go out to very own catering volunteers who did a

marvelous job with all the preparation. The fi rst activity of 2016 was our Pancake Breakfast on Saturday January 9th. It was

very well attended and once again many thanks to our great volunteers that made it all happen. The breakfast produced a

nice little monetary return for our club. (Continued on Page 2)

Our Special Events Committee have been busy planning our 2016 Special Events

calendar. The ever popular Trash or Treasure event will be happening on Sunday

January 31st in the Conference Hall. Hours are 9am to 2pm and table rental is

only $20. Regardless if you are a buyer or a seller, these sales always prove very

popular...it’s a giant market of stuff and you just never know what you might

fi nd.....remember that someone’s trash is always somebody else’s treasure.

The big Lunar Event called “Year Of The Monkey” is happening on Wednesday,

February 24th in the Conference hall. Doors will open at 11am and there will be

an outstanding Chinese Luncheon starting at noon. The luncheon will include a

wonderful selection of your favorite Chinese dishes. Entertainment provided by

Silk Road Music Duo (Vancouver). Tickets for this event are available at the offi ce.

Don’t forget that our Annual General Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday

February 10th in the Rotary Hall. It’s a time to receive and approve the Financial

statement of the Evergreen Club for the year ending December 31st, 2015. It’s

also the time to elect a new executive and all positions are open if you wish to put

your name forward. We will be electing a President, Vice President, 3 Directors

and a Secretary. All voters and nominees must have a paid up 2016 membership.

There will be door prizes for attendees.

At our January executive meeting we had continued discussion on distribution

of funds raised at Special Events. The existing ruling which was passed in 2012

was reviewed and some changes were made to update the rule. If you have

an interest in the changes I encourage you to read the minutes of our January

executive meeting which are always posted in the lounge. We also discussed

changes to the Special Events Planner which is the form used by groups or clubs

planning Special Events. The new form will have some new and some modifi ed

requirements.

I’d like to take a moment to recognize our January Volunteers of the Month,

Jeanette and Neil Harrison. They are both involved in several club activities and

we thank them for their contributions to our club programs. An excellent article

on this great couple was in the January Newsletter.

That’s about it for now...but I’d like to remind club reps that the February

Evergreen Club Committee meeting will be on the fi rst Monday of February as

the normal second Monday is a British Columbia Stat Holiday in February.....and

please attend the AGM if you can.....and remember that “the secret to happiness

is a good sense of humor and a bad memory”........adios...gk

1pm , Wednesdays in the Evergreen Lounge Note: not held on the 1st Wednesday month,Join us in the lounge every Wednesday,

except the fi rst one, for a game of

Mexican Train, an enjoyable game

played with dominoes. We play from 1

to 3. There is a drop-in fee of 25 cents.

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas

luncheon for our last session of the

year. Our fi eld trip committee is busy

planning outings for the coming

year. For our education sessions,

we start the year with another hands

on session, this time focusing on

focus modes and focus points. We

will repeat the session with some

additions later in the year as we rushed

through so we could get home before

the snow got too bad. Upcoming

sessions include ‘All about lenses’ and

‘Introduction to Evaluation Photos’.

During the month of January, we are

displaying photos with the subject —

Musical Instruments. We are working

on our next display - Utensils, that will

be hung during the month of March.

Our Lightroom group continues to

meet before the regular meeting

and is focusing on the organizational

aspects available. We meet the fi rst

and third Tuesday of the month in

the Soroptimist Room at 1:00 pm

(or 12pm if you want to sit in on the

Lightroom session) and all Evergreen

members are welcome.

Tuesday , February 9th &Tuesday, February 23rd, 20164:30 pm - 6:15 pm Rotary HallWow February already! I am thinking

Spring, so glad the time is zipping

along.

We are having such fun in our Club,

singing and playing. Every session we

are introduced to a new tune, but still

continue to play many of our favorites

from a previous get together.

If you are thinking you might like to

play the uke, come on down. We have

a loaner ukulele that can be signed out

for a couple of weeks. That way you

can give it a try, before you actually

go out and make the purchase. The

ukulele is a wonderful instrument;

only 4 strings, very light, and because

of it’s small size, you can take it almost

anywhere with ease.

Our music is sent to us via computer,

thus we can print off the sheets, or

study straight from the computer. We

do not have any paper in our sessions

as the music is projected onto a large

screen and we all view the same

thing. Our sessions start with songs

that have simple chords, and during

the latter part we progress to chords

that are just a bit more complicated.

The magic word is practice.......as

with any instrument we might take

up, the more you practice the easier

the chords will become. I can assure

you that it takes very little time before

you can successfully play many simple

tunes with the basic chords.

We welcome all.....come down and

listen, or sing along with us. Our only

requirements are a current Evergreen

Club membership, and a $2.00 drop-

in fee.

For further information please contact

Howie at [email protected] or

Terry at [email protected]

Do you have anyone in your family with

the fi rst name of ETHEL? I’m doing this

one because it’s my name and all my

life I have hated it. Now that I have

researched it a little I’m liking it a little

better. I’ll tell you all about it at the end

of the business section.

Our next meeting that is scheduled

for Thursday, February 18th is going

to have a change of venue. The

Soroptomist Room where we

usually meet every third Thursday is

unavailable so instead of changing the

date of our meeting we have decided

to do a fi eld trip instead. Mary Breer

have arranged to have a tour of the

Military Museum in Comox for us

with Jon Ambler being our guide.

We will be meeting at the Museum

(just outside the front gate of the

Military Air Base) a few minutes before

1 p.m. There is plenty of parking at

the Museum or across the road at the

Canex. If rides are required please call

me and I’ll see if I can arrange to have

someone pick you up. I do hope you

can come and join us in learning more

about our countries military history.

Now back to my name. ETHEL comes

from Old English and means “noble”.

It is part of many other names like

Ethelbert, Ethelred, Etheldreda, etc.

I was named aft er aunts and great

aunts, as it was a fashionable name

in the 19th century. Unfortunately, I

was born in the 20th century and it’s

not a common name these days. As a

young person I hated it. Fortunately,

it’s not as bad as my middle name but

that one I’m not telling even though it

means “spear & strength”!

Hope you can join us.

Genealogy Club 2:30- 4pm, Lower Native Sons Hall1st Tuesday - Focus on New Users3rd Tuesday - Focus on More Experienced Users

The iPad Club is a peer-led group

which is open to all iPad and iPhone

owners (all tablets are not iPads, if

yours doesn’t have an apple on the

back, it’s not an iPad).

On the fi rst Tuesday of the month we

focus on new users and encourage

those who need a bit of help with

the basics to come. We hope that

many of the more experienced users

will also come to help and share their

knowledge.

On the third Tuesday we switch to

slightly more ‘advanced’ techniques,

but all are welcome. If ‘new’ users

attend (and you are most welcome)

please remember that we don’t review

basics at these meetings.

Remember, our new home is in the

dining room at the Native Sons’ Hall.

You can enter from the upper parking

lot (the one that is on the upper level of

the Filberg Centre, not the one beside

the Native Sons).

at our January meeting providing

answers to our questions on computer

use, programmes and operating

systems. Thanks, Terry.

Security and scams continue as

a concern. Carole advises that a

member of the RCMP will speak on

this issue at our February meeting.

Scams mentioned were:

T-4 slips could be sent early by email

-- for a chunk from your bank account

or credit card, if you fall for this rip-off .

Also, there was a charge for an item

that hadn’t been ordered nor shipped;

thankfully, the invoice wasn’t paid

although at fi rst glance appeared to

be for an order that had been placed.

It’s amazing the personal information

that scammers possess and use to

confuse and to create trust.

More members have or are interested

in Windows 10 which is still an upgrade

but requires purchase aft er July 2016.

Two nursing students will be at the

Centre January through March 9th.

They may wish to attend our meeting

or interview us regarding activities,

etc. Please be welcoming as they are

seeking information to assist them to

help us when we need their care.

New members are always welcome.

Beloved Birthday Girl!

At age 8 she had her fi rst real piano lessons which she took for a year. At age

16 she went back for another year to learn popular music. Her teacher told her

that there was only one other student that she had taught that had the music run

through her like that. It turned out to be Dobie’s cousin! “It runs in our family,”

says Dobie, “My son’s a professional piano player too!” She has been a great

help with the ‘Memories of the War Years’ shows, playing for the Choristers every

week and assisting whenever the EG Drama Club needs her. She also plays

at nursing homes with the Choristers once a month, writes the EG newsletter

submissions and attends the committee rep meetings for them. Fellow Chorister,

Rick Forward says, “Dobie lives to play the piano, and we are fortunate to have

her in our group. It seems she never turns down a request to play for anyone. She

has an amazing repertoire of songs, a lively sense of humour and a million friends.

The Choristers would be lost without her!” She also volunteers her piano skills

for the Robbie Burns dinners at the Courtenay Legion. EG Club and Legion

member Ken MacLeod says, “She’s always there cheering us on, not only with

her inspiring music, but also with her inspiring personality and sense of humour.”

Dobie is also a gift ed painter. Her nickname stuck because she always signed her

artwork with the fi rst two letters of her name ‘Do Be’ (started by Harry Pruden).

It was a wonderful coincidence to notify Dobie of this honour on her Birthday

(notice her Birthday Badge in the pic). She wants people to know what a joy this

place brings to her and others. She feels right at home at the EG Club. “When

you’re busy on the piano, you don’t get a chance to socialize much.” She adds,

“I play the piano because I love it. Remember we are here to have fun. Enjoy!”
