Rated PG-13; Thematic Elements, Sexual Material,
Language, Disturbing Images, Smoking and Some
Violence 132 min.: Director Lee Daniels: LEE
DANIELS’ THE BUTLER tells the story of a White
House butler who served eight American presidents
over three decades. The film traces the dramatic
changes that swept American society during this time,
from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and
beyond, and how those changes affected this man’s
life and family. Forest Whitaker stars as the butler
with Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower, John
Cusack as Richard Nixon, Alan Rickman as Ronald

HBH Lower Level Classroom
Rated PG-13; Sustained intense sequences of

Greengrass: Captain Phillips is a multi-layered
examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S.
container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali
pirates. It is through director Paul Greengrass’s
distinctive lens simultaneously a pulse-pounding
thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of
globalization. The film focuses on the relationship
between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain
Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award-winner
Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse
(Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and
Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when
Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in
the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast,
both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces
beyond their control. Cast: Tom Hanks, Barkhad
Abdi, Catherine Keener, Michael Chernus, Corey

From Orange County Ronald McDonald House…It is with a sincere and big Thank You that we extend to you and all
your wonderful members that collected the pop top tabs. Your participation in our simple yet extremely important fund
raiser is greatly appreciated. This is a big benefit for the many families with seriously ill children that we serve here at the
Ronald McDonald House. Be sure and know that all house huge jars of the pop tabs are put to good use at the “House that
Love Built.” Sincerely, (Volunteer) Lee
Don’t forget to save those pop tabs and drop by the Administrative office or turn in at our meetings!
National Volunteer Week - April 6-13, 2014
President Richard Nixon established National Volunteer Week with an executive order in 1974, as a way to recognize and
celebrate the efforts of volunteers. Every sitting U.S. President since Nixon has issued a proclamation during National
Volunteer Week (as have many U.S. Mayors and Governors). Since then, the original emphasis on celebration has
widened; the week has become a nationwide effort to urge people to get out and volunteer in their communities. Every
April, charities, hospitals, and communities recognize volunteers and foster a culture of service. National Volunteer Week
is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities.
It’s about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and
accomplish our goals. OC Circle of Friends is a volunteer driven organization whose very existence depends on our
volunteers whom we recognize during this entire month of April. Take time to thank the volunteers in your lives.

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, “Welcome Ladies, we
have only one rule here in heaven, “Never step on the ducks!” So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all
over the place. It’s almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman
accidently steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and
says, “Your punishment for stepping on that duck is to spend eternity chained to this man!” The next day, the second
woman accidentally steps on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn’t miss a thing. With him is another extremely
ugly man. They’re chained together with the same admonishment the first woman got. The third woman has observed all
this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to
go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has
ever laid eyes on…tall, long eyelashes, muscular, great body. Without saying a word St. Peter chains them together. The
happy woman says, “I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all eternity?” The guy says, “I don’t know
(Anonymous)
about you, but I stepped on a duck!!
Maxine…on “Aging” (enjoy the laughs) “Take every birthday with a grain of salt. This works much better if the salt
accompanies a large Margarita” ~ “Men are always whining about how we’re ‘suffocating’ them. Personally, I think if you
can hear them whining you’re not pressing hard enough on the pillow.”~ “Getting older is like visiting an all-you-can-eat
buffet, what should be hot is cold, what should be firm is limp, and the buns are bigger than anything on the menu.”~
“Ever notice how people who tell you to calm down … are the ones who got you mad in the first place?”~“If you’re not
supposed to stick a Q-tip in your ear, what the heck are they for?”~ “Christmas is just plain weird - What other time of the
year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?”~ “Everyone seems normal until you get to know
them.”~ “I will defend, to your death, my right to my opinion”~
***“If you wake up breathing; congratulations, you have another chance.”***
Irish Toast…May you be poor in misfortune,
rich in blessings, slow to make enemies, and
quick to make friends. But rich or poor, quick
or slow, may you know nothing but happiness
from this day forward.
Think about it. Worry is like a rocking chair. It
gives you something to do, but it won’t get you
anywhere! It’s not that things are difficult that
we do not attempt, it’s because we think things
are too difficult to attempt.

“Ramona Pageant” ~ Sunday, April 27, 2014
Come and experience the unforgettable story of RAMONA, celebrating its 91st season, with all the excitement and
harsh realities of a bygone California. Located on 160 acres in the southern hills of Hemet, California, the Ramona
Bowl Amphitheatre is home to RAMONA, the nation's longest running outdoor drama and California's Official
Outdoor Play. The story of Ramona began in the late 1800's when Helen Hunt Jackson wrote the book "Century of
Dishonor". The Federal Government commissioned her to do a report on the condition of the Indians and she focused on
the Southern California tribes, so she wrote RAMONA in 1884. Her book has never gone out of print and she died in
1885 without knowing the enormous impact her book would have. In 1922 the communities of Hemet and San Jacinto
commissioned Garnet Holme to write the play based on Mrs. Jackson's book. He selected this property as the perfect
location for its natural acoustics and beautiful mountain views. The first play was held in 1923 and since then millions of
people have been entertained and educated by the hundreds of cast members and volunteers who are dedicated to
bringing this beautiful and poignant love story to life. Enjoy a lunch of BBQ Trip-Tip, ranch style beans, coleslaw,
dinner roll, dessert & beverage. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the pre-show entertainment of Fiesta music,
colorful dancers and interesting exhibits as you stroll through the courtyard and sample the artisan’s wares.
Experience a taste of 1800’s including woodcarving, panning for gold, wool spinning, gunslingers and Mrs.
Jackson’s Mercantile for a wide variety of unique gifts and commemorative items. Spring is a lovely time to visit this
area when the month of April is characterized by rising daily high temperatures from 67°F to 72°F over the course of the month with
some occasional highs and lows. Our reserved, VIP box seats are located at the top in the shaded box seats. (see below) While
