Join us for the smashing musical, Guys and Dolls, at Spokane Civic Theater on
Wednesday, June 8 at 7:30 p.m. Be totally entertained by fabulous dancing and classic
songs like “Bushel and a Peck,” “Luck Be a Lady,” “If I Were A Bell,” and “I’ve Never
Been in Love Before” and enjoy lots of laughs.
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is a high-energy
romantic comedy. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest
craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his
girlfriend, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to
fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced
missionary Sarah Brown. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the
cafes of Havana, Cuba and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually
everyone ends up right where they belong.
Proceeds from this benefit performance will support the Southside Center.
Invite your friends, neighbors and relations to join you for this fun evening.
$30 tickets are available now at the front desk.

President’s Message
Thanks to all of you who worked so hard on making our garage sale such a success. We
made nearly $5,000! The member's-only preview was well attended, and it was good to
see so many of you shopping and visiting. The best thing about the garage sale for me is
that so many of you use it as an opportunity to volunteer and have a good time working
with other members.
This month we will recognize our many volunteers at the Tuesday luncheon on April 19.
Please join us we celebrate the thousands of hours you give to make the Center a better
place. I have been on the board for three years now, and there have been a number of
people who have made a huge impression on me with all they do for the Center. I'd like
to give them special recognition: so here's to the Teal Ladies, Carol Gabel, Mic Cochran
and Kristin Watson.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you volunteers, and I'm so glad to count many of you as new
friends.
~Jeff Olson, Board of Directors Chairman
Thanks! You’re Awesome!
The exceptional success of the April 2 garage sale is a testament to the dedication and
enthusiasm of Southside Senior & Community Center volunteers. Thanks to each and
every one for your time, energy and support. The Center’s operation budget is a few
dollars short of $5,000 richer because of your tireless support and hard work.

A Note From Gary
The Titanic launched from Southampton, England on April 10,
1912. The largest passenger ship ever build, it was hailed as
unsinkable. After stops in Cherbourg, France and Queenstown,
Ireland the ship set sail for New York with 2,240 souls on
board. Four days out, at about 11:30pm on April 14 th, a lookout
saw an iceberg dead ahead. The warning bell was rung and the
bridge notified. Titanic’s engines were put in reverse and
evasive actions were taken. The massive ship was slow to turn
and only managed to miss direct head on contact, instead the
iceberg scraped down the starboard side cutting a 300 ft. long
gash in the hull, well below the waterline. As we all know,
approximately three hours later the Titanic slipped below the
surface, coming to rest on the ocean floor. Of the 2,240
passengers and crew on board only 705 survived.
Southside Senior & Community Center is not the Titanic or
even on its maiden voyage, so how does this apply to us? It’s
really very simple, we need every member’s help to keep us
afloat. No one person or small group of folks can prevent the
center from sinking underwater. Over the last few months the
attendance at our events, rentals, programs and travel are up
and I thank those involved for that.
But more is needed! I’m asking all members and our south hill
community too, to pick up the newsletter and join us at the
center. There’s something for everyone. Please be a part of the
success of your center!

Come Join the Fun!
Wii Bowling on Fridays!
1:30—3 p.m.
If you heard whooping and hollering and laughing on Friday
afternoon, you were hearing Wii bowling players having fun in
their virtual bowling alley. They would love you to join them.
How Does it Work?
Aug. 13-14 — Call for Artists & Crafters
An arts and crafts fair—the Southside Artisan Market will
be held Aug. 13-14 at the Southside Senior & Community
Center in the air conditioned ballroom.
Anyone can do it! Here’s how it works. It involves a “bowling
alley” shown on a screen. Instead of a heavy bowling ball,
players hold a Wii remote control (about the size and weight of
your TV control), swing it back and then forward as if rolling a
bowling ball. The virtual ball rolls down the alley on the screen
and pins fall. It even keeps score for you.
For this juried event, artisans and crafters with unique and highquality hand-made wares are encouraged to take part in the
market and sign up to display and sell their work.
Fees for the weekend are $35 for a 10x10-foot space or a 6x10foot space with a table provided. Fees after July 15 will be $50.
Email Jeff Olson at [email protected] or call (509)
291-6411 for an application and market guidelines.
Wanted: Players &
Volunteers
 Scrabble Players – call Denia to sign up.
The goal is to provide a fun a no cost event for members, get a
little exercise and enjoy a great bunch of players.
 Scrabble Leader to set-up games and
co-ordinate players.
So don’t be shy. It’s easy and a lot of fun; sign up today or just
come.
 Texas Hold Em! Players – call Bill Staeb at 747-0704

YOLO Travel Tips
Sadly—A Tradition Ends
A Center tradition,
the annual Lions
Train ride in Ione,
will carry it’s last
passengers later this
year.
The ride along the
scenic Pend Oreille
River from Ione to Metaline Falls has been a regional favorite in
the autumn for 35 years. Part of the rail line used by the Pend
Oreille Valley Lions Club for the ride won’t be maintained by
its owner, the Port of Pend Oreille, after that time. The Lion’s
Club train ride began in 1981, carrying 60 passengers. Now
more than 10,000 people ride the train each fall, taking in views
of the river and fall foliage.
Sign up for our last trip scheduled for October 8!!!

Palouse Falls and Pataha Barn
Spring is the ideal time for
Palouse Falls and its roaring
majesty. We will visit there
after lunch and an interesting
tour of the Pataha Mill in
Pomeroy. It was once one of
five water-powered flour mills
in Garfield County, grinding
grains destined for local and far-flung markets. Now it is the
last. Owner Jon Van Vogt says the others have long since
burned, but he and his family are working to preserve
the remaining three-story
mill, built in 1878.
“Everything is fully intact.
Nothing was gutted out of
it. … It has everything that
was in it 130 years ago,” He
and his wife, Louise, purchased the mill 13 years ago and have been restoring it since.
We’ll have a hosted lunch at their small café offering amazing
home cooked meals.
Driver: TBD Cost: $49m/$54 nm, lunch, snacks, transportation,
valet parking, escort and driver. Van leaves at 9 a.m. and returns
