Room, Central Campus. At chis

meeri'ng we will honor newly retired

faculty members and administrators

and elect officers for rhe 2004-2005

year. If you are interested in running

Club door pnze ar rhe meeting, to be

awarded to one lucky attendee.

Our Holiday Party at Atlantis Country

Club on December 6, 2003, was

another cheerful event. Fewer

members and guests arrended chis year,

perhaps because we had ro schedule a

Saturday instead of our usual Friday.

Some people were involved in

Christmas parades, pageants, and ocher

activities char were held on char

Saturday. This dace had been booked

early in January 2003, bur even then

all December Fridays were taken. So

as soon as chis party ended, I cracked

down a manager and secured a dace for

our 2004 celebration-Friday,

December 3, 2004, 11 :00 A.M. You

will receive more information lacer, bur

mark your calendars now so char well­

meaning friends and family do nor

plan a cruise, trip, or parade for you

on that day!

Joan Young, Editor

Joyce and Jan Bussell

summer, "didn't know who [she] was

cleared my head and I could refocus

my image. About the EFA, she writes:

"Ir is nice co know there are all of you

out there on the 'ocher side'."
