Kenmore Community Club building is for rent, and you the club members are the sales people who need to be talking to your friends and relatives, letting them know we have a facility available for their next party or event. We can accommodate 128 persons with tables and chairs set up. We have kitchen facilities. In nice weather there is the fenced yard. Remember, the rent pays the way, so let's get out there and talk up some rentals.

  FEBRUARY 2010 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dues, Dues, Dues, We have several members who have yet to pay their 2010 dues. Don't be left out; our dues are due on January 1 of each year. If you note your mailing label has a red 09, and unless this newsletter and your dues passed in the mail, you are past due.

Another historical landmark has been set in our 85 year history. When the membership voted, their vote placed into effect the club's revised Constitution as of 13 January 2010. This is the first adopted revision in 30 years. There are those who claim there was a revised edition in 1987, however, even though there is a hand written copy floating around we have been unable to find an adopted signed copy, any motion or record of a vote to that affect. So for historical recognition this January 13th vote to approve the 2010 edition is the first revision since 1955.

With regret, I received a letter of resignation from Pat Askelson with regards to her Chairing of the Hopelink fund raising efforts. I Thank Pat, in the name of the club for her many years of contribution to this effort. The club now is looking for a volunteer to step forward and pick up the reins of this project.

Marlene Rice has agreed to chair our hospitality committee for another year, so if you hear of a member who is under the weather let her know so she can take action.

Again I revisit the need to support our club's efforts to provide for "Hopelink". Let's get our donation box full so we can deliver it to those who need a helping hand. For 2010 let's keep filling our HopeLink box with items each month as a regular contribution.
-LGE


The nation's finest men and women who volunteer to serve in the armed forces are stationed all around the world to support friendly countries and protect our country's interest in those lands. Please give a moment of your time and say a little prayer for these brave volunteers who are serving in this nation's military.


News from your Board of Directors

The board has appointed two members to fill the unexpired position of resigned Trustee Kathi Straw and the unfilled vacancy of Secretary Francie House whose term ended 31 December 2009. To fill the unexpired terms the board appointed Joe Loutsis, Trustee and Greg Pruitt as Secretary. Both positions will run until the end of 2010. Welcome aboard and THANKS to both of you for stepping up to the challenge of serving the members of the club.


Remember Burma Shave

I know most of you do.
For those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Before there were interstates, when everyone drove the old two lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside and along farmers' fields.

They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, about 100 feet apart, each contain 1 line of a 4 line couplet…and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream. Here is a sample of an actual sign:

TRAINS DON'T WANDER

ALL OVER THE MAP

'CAUSE NOBODY SITS

IN THE ENGINEER'S LAP

Burma Shave
