Notes from Beth…Welcome SPRING!!
What a snowy, cold winter! It seems like it will
never end; but as I write this newsletter I am
delighted to inform you Daylight Saving Time
begins on March 9th, and even better, Spring
begins on March 20th! How is that for good
news. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I
hope you have stayed safe, warm and healthy
this winter.

Friday, January 31st we traveled to the Schauer
Arts & Activities Center in Hartford. We were
fortunate on two fronts: First, President Scott Huedepohl and his wife Andrea
accompanied us and second, the day was partly sunny and about 17* above
zero. Our buffet style meal was plentiful and delicious. The Church Basement
Ladies musical comedy “A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement” was hilarious! Many
of us were brought to tears we laughed so hard. Kathleen Christiansen should
have been with us as her name was chosen to win the traveling jackpot. Thank
you Scott and Andrea for helping me escort. The Schauer Center is definitely a
place we will visit again.

music and comedy provided an afternoon of fun for all. As always, our luncheon
was scrumptious. Everyone who went enjoyed the day. A big thank you to Carol

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014 - Fireside Theatre
Arguably the greatest musical ever written and certainly one of the most
popular shows in Fireside history, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF makes a
triumphant return to the Fireside stage. This classic show held the title as
Broadway’s longest running musical for over twenty years. It is a heartwarming story featuring one of Broadway’s most beautiful musical scores.
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF opened on Broadway the same year that The
Fireside first opened its doors and to celebrate this dual anniversary, back
by popular demand, Artistic Director Ed Flesch will return to the leading
role with which he has long been associated. You won’t want to miss this
Fireside “Tradition!”

The Chamber Choice award is presented each year to an area member
business that demonstrates leadership, is dedicated to their employees
and customer service, and exemplifies community commitment.
“Chamber Choice award winners lead by example,” said Greater
Union Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Director Jennifer Ditscheit.
“Community State Bank has a proven track record as a dedicated
business leader for many years in Union Grove. They dedicate their time,
effort, knowledge and financial resources to help the entire community.”
Award winners are selected by a ballot initiative by chamber members at
the end of each year. Current chamber members nominate eligible area
businesses, and those nominations are then voted upon by all of the
Greater UGACC members.
“We’re very honored to win this award,” said Community State Bank AVP
Marketing Jeff Nielsen. “The Chamber’s goals and ours are in some ways
very similar. We’re both passionate and dedicated to engaging with and
building the communities we serve.”

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. Oprah Winfrey stars
as his wife Gloria. Also stars Cuba Gooding,
Jr., Robin Williams, and Jane Fonda.

Wednesday, March 26th we will have a travel presentation for a fall motor
coach trip out East. We will visit many interesting sights in New York,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. We
will see covered bridges, have a narrated tour of Kennebunkport as well as
Portland, enjoy a lobster dinner, attend the Bourne Scallop Fest in Cape
Cod, and much, much more. I hope I have piqued your interest. Come
let Val Courter of Travel Networking Partners fill in all the details of this trip
scheduled September 12th – 23rd. See you at the 2 p.m. presentation on

With April just around the corner, I wish you each a blessed Easter on
Sunday, April 20th. Thursday, April 24th Harvest Club is venturing to
Madison to attend the “U.W. Varsity Band Spring Concert.” The evening
performance is guaranteed to be lively entertainment, featuring a full
theatrical production complete with pyrotechnics. Dinner is included
at the Essen Haus. The price includes round trip deluxe motor coach
accommodations, dinner, concert, and all gratuities, including the
driver’s. This event is open to non-members as well as members. If you
haven’t signed up yet, please do so today. It is an event you will want to
experience.
Wednesday, May 7th we will travel to The Fireside for a performance of
“Fiddler on the Roof.” This timeless classic is one of the Fireside’s most
popular shows. I had many members request that I book it. Interestingly
“Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway the same year that The Fireside
first opened its doors, so both are celebrating 50 years! Sign up to see
Director Ed Flesch return as Tevye, the long suffering dairyman who
struggles to find a balance between his traditions and his family.

On March 21, 1975, Professor Michael Leckrone created a monster…
the UW Varsity Band’s Annual Spring Concert! On that day before an
unexpectedly large audience of about 450 family, friends and fans the
UW Band got everyone together to put on one final performance for the
year. No one would have guessed that the concert performed that night
would turn into what it is today! The UW’s 2 ½ hour Varsity Band’s Spring
Concert is a full theatrical production complete with pyrotechnics. “It’s a lot
of 5th quarter, the audience loves to do the chicken dance,” says Professor
and Band Director Mike Leckrone. Dinner is included at the Essen Haus.
Price includes round trip deluxe motor coach accommodations, dinner,
concert, and all gratuities, including the driver’s.
