THE CHARDON WELCOME
WAGON CLUB
On Thursday, May 81, an
other meeting of the Newcom-
er'S club took place. Twenty
one members were present,
which meant the attendance
was bit smaller than usual.
Some familiar faces were miss
ing because of many conflict
ing activities. However, our
business meeting was especial
ly stimulating, everyone to o k
part in the discussion, every
one had ideas or opinions, and
everyone expressed them. We
made very interesting plans for
our June meeting.
Instead of having a speaker
at our May meeting, Mar ]
Lauter suggested we have a
social evening. And so we did.
Because we are still newcom-
erS even to each other, we de-
cided to have a Let's G e
Acquainted night. And so we
did. We played a game tn a
was loads of fun and a good
mixer" Jean Jensen told us
about it. She'd played it the
first time at a party planned
by Marian and Earl BrandeS
of Bass Lake Colony. We're not
only indebted to the Brandes'
for the game idea, but also for
the cards we used to make it
up, as well as a few playing
suggestions which Marian pass
ed along. Our thanks to them.
The game was cute. Each
girl registered on a mall
card and was given ruled,
blank bingo-type card. Instead
of having numbers in t h e
squares, we circulated a b o u t
until we had secured a sigma
ture in each block. Then the
names were read from the
small registration cards an d
the first one to fill in either
across, or up and down, or di-
agonally called bingo and won
the prize The winner--June Will
son. The prize--crystal a S h
trays.
You might almost have call
ed our meeting John Han
cock" night. We signed our
names at least four tt m s!
Twice for our game and once
for our Surprise Door Prize.
The winner--Mary Walsh. The
prize--a lovely, lovely, love
ly round, black tray, h a n d
painted with fruit and gold
leaf trim by Florence Gallen-
tine. Mary was happy to have
won. She plans to hang it on
the wall, it is so beautiful.
The fourth time we signed
our names was on a get-well
card for Rena Rice. She had
undergone an operation at the
Women's hospital and we all
wanted her to know we were
thinking of her and wishing her
we'll.
Our Refreshment committee
included Esther Buchan, Mar
garet Creek, and Catherine Nu-
gent. Our refreshments in =
cluded four kinds of cookies,
each one so delicious t h t
many of us went back for more,
more than once!
WHAT'S UP
We're cooking again not
recipe books this time, but
plans for our June meeting to
which we're looking forward
with anticipation. Well be
writing about that later.
Three of our girls contribute
services to the American Can
Ger Society each month. Mar
jorie Lauter gives the la t
Thursday afternoon, Margaret
Nells gives the first Saturday
morning. and Midge Hoffmeier
is on the substitute list.
Mary Walsh is chairman of
the Red Cross Bloodmobile
Drive. She's positively inspired.
She briefed us a little on the
services and was ready with
the proper cards to take our
blood if we hadn't already been
contacted.

Nancy Speck--her usual at
tractive self in a charming
light blue dress and pre- t t y
white sandals, but whose voice
was that emitting from t h
basement? The show must go
on--and Nancy gave her report,
