Dear Members and
Friends
Attendance at the Boogie-Woogie
Dance on April 11 was quite low (50
members and 14 guests), but judging
by the number of attendees who
stayed late and danced everyone seemed to enjoy the
music by the 60's Garage Band. We did have a glitch with
the starting time of the dinner and the availability of food;
we ran out of food prematurely. I apologize to all
attendees who were affected by the mishap and assure
you that steps are being aken to avoid this problem in the
future.
L
The picnic on Saturday, April 25, at Gina and Tom Crisp’s
ranch was attended by 67 persons and was quite enjoyable;
even the weather was perfect and everyone appeared to have a
great time. The sausages, picked up from the butcher in
Phoenix by Hartmut and cooked by Bernie and Hermann, were
excellent (thanks Hartmut, Bernie, and Hermann) as were all
the side dishes brought by the members. Again, I would like to
thank everyone for their contributions and a special “Thank
You” to Gina and Tom Crisp for their generosity and the use of
their beautiful ranch.
Several members who participated in last year’s trip to
Casino Del Sol at 5655 West Valencia Road recommended to
have an outing to the casino again. The Board agreed and is
arranging for a visit to the casino on Thursday, May 14.
Participants will meet at the main entrance of the casino at 12
noon; anyone welcome. Last year’s first time visitors to the
casino received a free lunch and some play money to gamble
with. All in all an enjoyable afternoon with friends.
The annual recognition dinner will be held on
Saturday, May 23 at 6:00 PM at the El Corral Restaurant
at 2201 West River Road. This outing gives me and all
other members a chance to thank the members of the
Board and their significant others for their efforts and
dedication to keep the Club running smoothly. So far, 36
members and guests have signed up and is shaping up to
be a well-attended get-together. Anyone not signed up yet
but wanting to attend, please contact Wendell at 299-8683

May-June 2015
no later than May 16 to be added to the list to ensure a
proper size room can be reserved.
Our next Stammtisch outing will be on Saturday,
June 13 at 6:00 PM, at the Macayo’s del Norte Mexican
Restaurant at 7360 North Oracle Road. Please contact
Wendell on or before May 31 if you want to join the 26
members who have already signed up for this gettogether.
The membership breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, July
11 at 8:30 AM at The Good Egg (NE corner of Grant and
Swan). Please mark your calendar if you are planning to attend.
In conclusion, I want to wish everyone a pleasant and safe
summer. I look forward to seeing many of you at several of the
Club’s planned outings and, hopefully, all of you at the
beginning of the next season.

Thanks for your contributions
For any club to continue to prosper and be
successful, the help of many volunteers is required.
The following members deserve a big “THANK
YOU” for their contributions with either hands-on
activity, donations to the Club, or both at the
“Blumentanz”.

I realize that several other members also may
have made contributions even though they were
not on my list of volunteers. I apologize for any
omissions and thank those contributors as well.
Please, in the future, let me know about your
contribution so I can properly thank you in the
name of the Club for your commitment.
