Hi, Nancy.  This is my last week that I can communicate with you here.  Or maybe not.  I'm going to try from the library.  We'll see how that works. Always ready to try something new. 

I looked for you Sunday for our meeting, but maybe we didn't really need one.  We have council meeting Thursday night and I wrote up a report for it.  Can you make copies of the request form you made up for the Hospitality Committee's supplying refreshments for other committees?  It was such a great form.  Did you talk to Fred Leonard about his party idea?  That might fill in for something we had thought about doing.  I think I am going to go ahead with the murder mystery party.  But we have to have some help getting houses and making sure food is organized.  I will have to tell you the nightmare we had the last time around.  Thank God the man involved has left the Community.

I guess that's it.  I'll see you Thursday night.

Hi, Nancy.  We missed you Sunday.  A nice little crowd, about 10 or 12 people.  I don't think that was bad considering when we made the announcement.  Have you talked to Gene Kramer yet about the film festival?  I can call him if you like. You'll have to call me at home to answer because I'm getting ready to finish my week in moments now.  Ah!  Part-time is so satisfying.  Talk to you later.

Hi, Nancy.  I don't know if you got my message last night.  Tomorrow I am going to drive down Valley Parkway in the Rocky River Reservation to check out the picnic spots.  I think that park is probably closer to church.  I will get back to you.  Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi, Nancy.  I'm having a little trouble getting a shelter for our picnic. The Octagon will only accommodate 50 people.  Do you think we would get more than that?  The price is (I think) $110.  I've looked at what the Metroparks have to offer and we ought to look at it together.  Maybe we should think of something else to do in October.  Maybe a spur-of-the-moment bring-your-own-lunch meet at a park to enjoy the fall scenery and fellowship.  What do you think?  Sorry I have been so ineffective.
