Greeting’s Everyone....Hope you are still enjoying that wonderful winter we have so far experienced....no doubt the winter

of 2014-2015 will go down as one of the easier ones that have come our way right here in the beautiful Comox Valley....

certainly hard to remember a much nicer one

Well, the 2015 AGM has come and gone and a couple of new faces will be on board with our Executive. For the fi rst time

in several years we actually had a vote for the Director positions and aft er the count, Fred Greene was re-elected as 1st

Director, Dennis Flynn elected as 2nd Director and Tom Witty elected as 3rd Director. All other positions were returned by

acclamation so I will continue in the President’s Role for another term....I thank you all for that privilege. Nettie Webers will

continue as Vice-President and Dianne Bruon will continue as our wonderful Secretary. (Continued on Page 2)

CLUB NEWS

I would like to congratulate our new directors Dennis and Tom, and welcome

them to the Executive table. It was a great AGM and my thanks go out to members

who took the time to join us....you are the ones who make the democratic

process work. I would also like to thank the other members who let their names

stand for offi ce....those included Ellen Whitelaw, Nicki Arsenault and Bob Myles.

A number of great prizes were drawn for as door prizes and the lucky winners

seemed very pleased with it all. Financial reports were discussed, executive

reports were given and all in all it seemed a very positive meeting.....THANKS

once again to those who joined us.

A relatively quiet month of March will be followed by a pretty busy April. The

Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon is scheduled for Wednesday April 8th so it is

important that the various Committee and Club Reps make sure that deserving

volunteers within their group get recognized....they all deserve a luncheon. The

Evergreen Drama Club will be presenting “Return To 2015” in celebration of

Courtenay’s Centennial on April 22 and 23. On Wednesday April 22nd there

will be a matinee performance at 1:30pm and on Thursday April 23rd an evening

performance at 7pm. And fi nally on Saturday April 25th, it’s Spring Garage Sale

time again, starting at 9am.

I would like to take a moment to congratulate Rose Jacobson on being recognized

as our most recent Volunteer of the Month. She continues to be a very busy gal

and an inspiration to all at the tender age of 94. An excellent write-up on Rose

was carried in the February issue of the newsletter...it’s certainly worth a read if

you missed it. THANKS Rose.

Well, it’s onward and forward......don’t forget that many outstanding functions

and activities will be taking place in Courtenay over the the next number of

months...it’s Courtenay’s Centennial and we would like you all to be part of

it......keep an eye on the local papers and an ear on local radio to keep up with

what’s happening and where it’s happening. And in the meantime could anyone

tell me why “Fat Chance” and “Slim Chance” mean the same thing??????.........

Adios...gk

“Sure and Begorra”, St. Patty Day is

coming up and we’ll be ready with

our great Irish songs. February was a

loving month with special songs for

our Sweethearts. The music as well

as the words can sure express all our

feelings even those of us who can’t

sing quite as well as we used to. We

still enjoy, believe me, I know only too

well – AHEM! Good thing I can still

play the piano – Ha! Ha!

We still meet every Friday morning

ChoristersAnother good month for the Club

with more new members. The photo

display for March - Ropes - will be

hung at the end of the fi rst week. We

were very pleased with the results and

we hope you will continue to show

your interest by voting for the one you

like the best. We had two education

items in February, the fi rst was on

Low Light Photography and the

second on Problem Solving. We are

learning that light, composition and

photographing some thing interesting

are the key points to success. We are

fi nding the DVD set created by Joel

Satori very helpful in increasing our

skills. Aft er each topic we try to follow

up with the exercise that Joel suggests.

We had two photoshoots, the fi rst to

Nymph Falls which were in full fl ood,

very exciting and the second down to

Fanny Bay to see the sea lions on their

little dock. We always go for lunch

aft er the shoot - an important part

of the morning out! In our forward

planning we have “ whimsical” and

“the Moon” as our topics to hang on

the Lounge Wall in May and July. We

always welcome new folk, give us a

try in the Soroptimist Lounge at 1.00

p.m. preceded by a special session

on Lightroom at Noon.

Friday Night Dance

North Vancouver is getting ready to greet you and meet the challenge of hosting

the BC 55+ Games which run from August 25-29. Hosting such an event is a

major undertaking with over 4000 participants and 1500 community volunteers.

To put this in perspective- my hometown Espanola in Northern Ontario has a

population of only 5000!

These volunteers are charged with arranging the venues for over 30 activities

and sports ranging from water for dragon boating and swimming events, tennis,

pickleball and badminton courts, ice for hockey and curling, lawn for of course

lawn bowling, horseshoe pits, bowling alleys, golf courses, dart boards,archery

targets and bridge and whist cards,tables and chairs. Volunteers must be trained

as offi cials, timers, scorers, referees- whatever each individual sport requires.

Opening and closing ceremonies must be planned and arranging the banquet

with entertainment is a huge task. How would you like to organize the feeding of

over 4000 people?

Let’s not forget our own Zone 2 volunteers: Chair Cheryle Sosnowski, Director

Tony Mayor, Registrar/Membership Alan McRae , Accommodations and

Transportation Bob Reed, Public Relations Corrine Berkin, Sports Chair Paul

Kingan and all the Area Representatives who get us organized and spend a year

planning so we can compete and have fun.

Volunteers are the backbone of this amazing annual event as we get ready for the

28th BC 55+ Games. Why do I volunteer? Why not!!!

Check out the BC 55+ Games website which is being constantly updated with

details about North Vancouver and the games www.55plusgames.ca. The

schedule for the various activities and sports is already posted on the website

plus pictures and results of past games.

If you are a resident of BC and 55+, come and join us! There’s an activity/sport for

everyone. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

1pm, Soroptimist Lounge, Friday,March 13, 2015Just looking at the date makes me

realize how quickly this year is fl ying

by. Already, most of us have seen

small signs of Spring emerging from

the soil. What an exciting time of the

year.

Our Windows based Club meet

monthly and usually start with a

timely topic. This is followed by a

question and answer period, where

all are encouraged to express their

frustrations or joys with the computer.

This can be a great learning time, as

there always a tidbit of info you learn,

that you also can use.

We welcome all, novice or

experienced PC user. Our only

requirements are a current Evergreen

Club membership, and a $1.00 drop-

by playing with them every Sunday.

They play Sundays 12:30 – 4:00pm,

Brazilian Embroidery

We are always looking for new

members and we all enjoy helping

others learn this craft . There are no

formal lessons, strictly learn as you

go, and everyone pitches in to help

beginners. Although some of our

members have being doing Brazilian

Embroidery for quite a number of

years we all remember how diffi cult

it seemed when we started - that

stage doesn’t last long - the needle

and thread quickly become more

cooperative even though there are

always new stitches to learn.

All are welcome to drop in, meet

the members and see what they

are working on - Thursday 9:00

Tuesdays,March 10 & March 24,2015 , 4:30-6:15 pm Rotary HallHow quickly the year seems to be

passing. Small glimpses of greenery

from the soil remind me that Spring is

not far off .

Our Club continues to have great

fun under the leadership of Terry. He

does a great job in selecting tunes,

that we all are familiar with, from our

past. We are not adrift in paper as our

music is sent to us via computer, so

we can print it out, or practice right

from the computer screen.

Our aim is to have fun singing and

playing. We are a non-judgmental

group, and invite novice and

experienced players, alike. We

have a loaner uke, which may be

borrowed and taken home for several

weeks, for those who wish to try it all

out, before actually purchasing a uke

for themselves.

Sessions are started with music that

has very simple chords. Most chords

we use can be learned with just a

little practice; of course with a lot

of practice one can become quite

adept, in a short period of time.

Our only requirement is a $2.00

drop-in fee, and a current Evergreen

Club membership.

For more information you can email

Howie at [email protected]., or

Terry at [email protected] . You

can also drop in on our session nights

to sit and listen or have a chat with us.

Want to learn a new game? On

Tuesday at 12:30pm we have an

aft ernoon of fun.

Mah-jongg is played with tiles rather

than with cards, each person is dealt

13 tiles. The basic hand is making sets

of three tiles in runs or sets. The 14th

tile is needed to complete a hand,

so four sets of three and one pair is

a complete hand. Once a person

learns the game there are lots of more

challenging hands to try for. Then of

course the harder to get hands are

worth larger scores.

Instructions are available and we

welcome new members.

which is open to all iPad and iPhone

owners - if your tablet doesn’t have

an apple on the back it’s not an iPad.

An iPhone Club was off ered but

there wasn’t enough interest to justify

continuing with it. However, as there

that are the same we invite interested

iPhone users to join us.

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

Jo Johnson

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES -

Babies, Birthdays, and BusesYou’re about to learn some fascinating facts

about our March Volunteer of the month, Jo

Johnson. And, you might even learn a life lesson along the way! Jo was born a

twin. Jo gave birth to her daughter Colleen at the same hospital that her twin

brother’s baby was born on the exact same day! Those two ‘twin cousins’ are

the same age with the same birthday! Amazing right? Now there’s another

mysterious coincidence involving Jo‘s son named Dan. One day, Dan was

reading a book on his community’s history and came across information on

his great-grandfather. It was reading this book that he learned about another

family coincidence. Dan learned that he shared the same birthday as his great-

grandfather... same day, 100 years apart!

Jo, moved to the Comox Valley ten years ago from outside of Edmonton wanting

to be closer to her daughter. She soon joined the Evergreen Club. Jo says,

“It’s the best club there is. With all of the things going on, there’s something

for anyone!” Jo really got involved with all that it off ers and laughs that her

daughter has a hard time fi nding time when her mom is available now! Jo

particularly loves the Evergreen Mystery and Tulalip Christmas trips. “We have

lots of fun on the bus; a lot of the people that go are the same. You get to know

them,” she says. Jo regularly plays Evergreen Bingo and holds down 6 cards.

She marvels at those who play 18 cards at a time! She loves volunteering to sell

50/50 tickets at the Memories of the War Years shows and does a great job at it!

Jo also plays Whist and volunteers as a runner for the winners. Jo knows many

people from playing Whist in Cumberland, Comox, and Courtenay. For the last

fi ve years, Jo runs the raffl es. “I know so many people from all of my activities.

When I’m selling raffl e tickets, I catch them coming through and they can’t resist

buying from me. If they say I’ve already bought one. I say, yeah but not from

me! But in a fun way, “she laughs “I’m not pushy. “ You’ll also have seen Jo

volunteer at admissions for the Charles Dickens Faire and as hostess at the door

for the Flu Clinics.

Jo doesn’t drive but doesn’t let that get in the way. She feels the buses here are

terrifi c. She says, “You have the same schedule with people on the same bus.

You start by smiling, then chatting, then meeting for lunch. I met my best friend

Maureen that way. She lost her husband and I invited her to the Evergreen Club.

She told me ‘I’m not ready yet.’ One day she said ‘I’m ready’. So I said let’s go

now!” It really makes you refl ect how important it is to have a good friend and a

good club to go to. Thanks Jo for all you do!

a benefi ciary of their estate; however

consider this: An estate of $ 500,000

could provide the government

with taxes and probate of up to $

130,000. Learn about liabilities

payable at death, how to minimize the

governments share of your estate, the

importance of properly prepared wills

and powers of attorney and strategies

to reduce taxes and fees.
