THE WEATHER HELD OFF FOR A GREAT AFTERNOON AT TEPS ’ . WE HAD 59 FOR OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY. NOT A VERY GOOD SHOWING FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP. THERE MUST BE A REASON FOR THE POOR SHOWING. THE FOOD WAS EXCELENT, THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS GREAT, THE ROOM WAS GREAT AND THE CONVERSATIONS WERE ON GOING. AT OUR NEXT MEETING ON THE 26 OF JANUARY IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HEAR FROM OUR MEMBERSHIP AS TO WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE NEXT YEAR TO GET MORE PARTISIPATION AT THIS EVENT AND ALSO OUR OTHER EVENTS; GOLF, BOWLING, AND OUR JULY PICNIC. IT ALL DEPENDS ON OUR MEMBERS TO STEP UP AND MAKE THESE ACTIVITIES A SUCCESS. THOSE THAT DO THE PLANING AND PUT TOGETHER THESE ACTIVITIES WORK VERY HARD FOR YOU, WITH THE LACK OF ATTENDANCE AND HELP IN PLANING IT MIGHT BE LESS AND LESS. LARRY COFFMAN, NEWSLETTER EDITOR
