Notes From Your President We loved hearing the Valentine stories of Gil and Lois Bartell, Charlie Darling, and Roger Meadows at the February meeting.

2 Notes From Your President We loved hearing the Valentine stories of Gil and Lois Bartell, Charlie Darling, and Roger Meadows at the February meeting. There are some truly delightful people in our club! I m sure our one week of winter is not the last we ll see. I understand the ski areas in North Carolina are soldiering on as best they can. The March meeting will be devoted to club awards, previously called gag awards. I hope some are hilarious, as always, but serious is good too. If you have an award to present, be sure to let Rich know so you can be on the program. Alison is taking us back to Thai Taste for the minisocial this month. That is traditionally one of our most popular, so be sure to let Alison know so she can have an accurate number for seating. (Sometimes not having a setup for you means someone else has to sit away from the group.) Also, bring your patience and have a drink. It takes a while to serve that many people! The warm weather we re having makes it easy to think about spring and flowers. On March 25 th, we re going to the orchid show at the North Carolina Arboretum. We will have an early lunch and a few libations at Sierra Nevada Brewery on the way. At this one, it s important to be on time since they won t seat our party until we are all there. The last time we went, Mike & I were unexpectedly detained, & we felt so badly that all of you had to wait for us. We ll be early this time. Barbara Congratulations! Newly Elected SSOC Officers PRESIDENT PAT LEE SECRETARY ALISON KIMBALL VICE-PRESIDENT CONNI HARRELL TREASURER TED MUELLER Page 2

3 Awards Night Thursday, March 2 nd 7:00 PM Chapman Cultural Center As all of you know we celebrate a lot. We have a good time, enjoy our friends and give back to the community. In March we will celebrate our year by giving some well deserved recognition to our members for their contributions. These awards will be for their work as well as maybe just some observations. There could even be an award such as a gag award. Who knows? You need to be there. You just never know who will be on the receiving end. We welcome any award you may wish to present. Just Rich at dikdar@aol.com and tell him you are presenting an award. Soft drinks, water and a snack will be available but bring your choice of beverage if you wish. Look forward to seeing you.

Call Taylor for information on how to submit your newsletter item. Also, don t forget - the club has a tent available for rent. It is an 18 X 20 tent, and it is easy to assemble. We also have 4 tables that can be rented with or without the tent. We have the makings for that special occasion and it is all very reasonably priced! Tent rental is $ 35. Tables can be rented for $5 per table. Remember; don t have a party without the comfort of shade. Your guests will appreciate it and so will the club!

We are located at the Chapman Cultural Center (West Wing) on East St. John Street in Spartanburg on the first floor.
