Welcome to 2016 everyone!!! Let’s welcome in the New Year and give a fond farewell to the old. How about we treat this

as a new beginning and cherish the memories we have of the years past. New beginnings always bring a freshness to our

We have a busy year ahead of us at the Evergreen Club. Your executive have got a great array of wonderful events planned

volunteer group that spends many hours in planning and putting together the

many events that our members enjoy throughout the year. Many thanks go out

to them.

Well be starting our January activities off with a Pancake Breakfast on Saturday

January 9th. Hours are 7:30am to 11am in the Conference Hall. Still the best

deal in town at $5pp, so gather up the grandkids and neighbors and enjoy a

great breakfast. Then on Sunday January 31st it will be another great Trash and

Treasures event. It will be held in the Conference Hall from 9am ‘till 2pm. Tables

are only $20 to rent and individuals, families, organizations, clubs and any other

groups that wish to sell and barter are encouraged to get involved. It’s a great

giant market and there will deals galore.

We are in need of Kitchen volunteers and other food service volunteers. Full

training will be provided for these positions and fl exibility is always a priority.

Please get in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator ,Deanne if you can help out.

We are also looking for people who may be interested in getting involved with

the Special Events Committee. As mentioned previously, these are the people

that plan our activities and we need some of you folks with the creative minds to

help us out....again, please see Deanne.

We on the Executive are still working on the details of the distribution of revenue

from special events. We had a vigorous discussion at our December meeting

and it was decided due to time constraints to continue at our January meeting.

We have had input from some of our clubs and members and we thank you for

that. Hopefully we can fi nalize this issue at our January meeting.

Please note that our AGM will be held on Wednesday February 10th at 1pm in

the Rotary Hall. Elections will be held. All positions on the executive are open to

any member interested. There is a nominating committee in place so if you are

interested please contact VP Nettie or Secretary Dianne for further information.

Congratulations to our December Volunteer of the Month, Ardith Chambers.

Ardith is a busy Evergreen member and a defi nitive write up about her was

included in the December newsletter......and on behalf of myself and the

Executive we wish all of you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR....may 2016 be good to

you all........adios......gk

Happy New Year everyone! Sure hope

everyone had a wonderful Christmas

and all remembered to sing “Auld

Lang Syne” on “Hogmanee”. We sure

had a great time singing not only to

our usual fans, but sure entertained a

lot more. Everyone loved our songs

and our soloists did a fabulous job!

Also wouldn’t have been Christmas

without our Harry reciting “Twas the

Night Before Christmas”. Everyone got

a laugh out of yours truly pantomiming

to the poem. Thanks to all of you who

dressed a LA Christmas – Ho! Ho! Santa

Loved You. It’ll be fun getting back to

our usual schedule and slowing down

just a wee bit – Ha! Ha! We’ll still be

getting together Friday mornings,

10:00 – 11:30am in the Rotary Hall.

Our fi eld trip to Art Knapps resulted

in many beautiful pictures and a 4K

movie. We selected our Musical

Instrument photos which will be

hanging on the wall for the month of

Jan. Our photoshoot of the Christmas

displays on 5th was postponed due

to rain. We had an education session

on how to shoot Christmas lights so

are looking forward to a rescheduled

date. Upcoming topics include

creating greeting and photo cards;

why pictures don’t come out the way

we expect when printing; Lens - how

do we know what one to use and what

to expect; as well as hands on sessions

to learn about various settings. We

met Dec 15 for our Christmas lunch.

We meet the fi rst and third Tuesday of

the month in the Soroptimist Room at

1:00 pm (or 12pm if you want to sit in

on the Lightroom session).

Tuesday , January 11th &Tuesday, January 25th, 20164:30 pm - 6:15 pm Rotary HallI hope you all had a wonderful

Christmas season, fi lled with family,

friends and fellowship. May 2016

be fi lled with good health and

contentment the year through.

Our Club is once again off , refreshed

by the short break, singing and playing

our ukuleles. Do drop in and join us;

we are a friendly bunch, and welcome

all. If you are thinking that you might

like to learn to play the Uke, come

down and listen, and hear what we

do. We do have a “loaner” uke, that

can be signed out, and taken home

for 2 weeks, so that you can practice.

That way you get a taste of the Uke,

without putting out the dollars right

away. The ukulele is an incredible

instrument....very easy to learn, with

just a smalll amount of practice. There

are an incredible number of songs you

can play with very simple chords.

We do not use sheet music. Our songs

are sent to us via computer, so that we

can practice as much as we want at

home. Our sessions start with songs

that have simple chords, and the last

45 minutes we venture into songs that

are a bit harder (but do become easier

with practice).

To become a member of our Club

you require a current Evergreen Club

membership, and a $2.00 drop-in fee.

For further information please call

Howie at [email protected] or

Happy New Year to All! We certainly

had a busy 2015, so I think it’s time to

make some changes.

1.When stressed – knit (it’s called

occupational therapy)

2.Only use yarn you like, if not you’ll

have a “lasting” fi ght for Supremacy.

3.Don’t knit black yarn at night it’ll

only prove your eyesight isn’t 21 years

old anymore.

4.Don’t take your grandchildren to a

yarn shop they’ll talk you into making

them a sweater. They have no concept

of price, quality or TIME.

5.Can’t sleep? Go through your stash,

you’ve seen it 100 times it should

come to a 500 sheep count!

6.Got a good pattern? It’s always

good to share, bring it on in.

7.It is really true that she who dies with

the most yarn wins? Wins what I’d like

to know.

8.Remember! In, around, thru and off .

See you in the lounge, Tuesdays 1:00 –

3:00pm. We’re a cheap date at .25cents

Genealogy Club 2:30- 4pm, Lower Native Sons Hall1st Tuesday - Focus on New Users3rd Tuesday - Focus on More Experienced Users

The iPad Club is a peer-led group

which is open to all iPad and iPhone

owners (all tablets are not iPads, if

yours doesn’t have an apple on the

back, it’s not an iPad).

On the fi rst Tuesday of the month we

focus on new users and encourage

those who need a bit of help with

the basics to come. We hope that

many of the more experienced users

will also come to help and share their

knowledge.

On the third Tuesday we switch to

slightly more ‘advanced’ techniques,

but all are welcome. If ‘new’ users

attend (and you are most welcome)

please remember that we don’t review

basics at these meetings.

Remember, our new home is in the

dining room at the Native Sons’ Hall.

You can enter from the upper parking

lot (the one that is on the upper level of

the Filberg Centre, not the one beside

the Native Sons).

iPad Tips and Tricks Computer Club1pm, Soroptimist LoungeFriday, January 8th, 2016

Our December meeting saw members

helping members with computer

issues and, I believe, successfully.

Carole is checking for a speaker for

January, however, wasn’t able to

‘pin down’ the speaker at this time.

Members were asked for information

regarding use of their computer.

A large number use it for the same

purpose i.e. Google, News, e-mail.

However, some interesting uses that

others have either not tried or not

aware of were mentioned and possibly

a subject for further investigation.

We concluded the meeting with

coff ee/tea and goodies supplied

by members. A very good meeting!

Thank you for your participation.

Again, please stay safe—fraud artists

are out there and their devious

methods make it worthwhile—for

them. They have access to personal

information so you could easily be

mislead to believe it’s someone who

knows you or has your interest at heart.

New members are always welcome.

You require a current (2016) Evergreen

membership and a $1.00 drop in fee.

for the enjoyment and sustainment of the generations to follow. Please don’t toss those

two dead fl ashlight or TV remote batteries into the kitchen garbage because they are little

and you only have the odd dead ones. With a black marker. print “DEAD BATTERIES” on a

margarine tub. Toss your dead batteries into that and fi nd a spot for it on a shelf in the garage or under the kitchen sink. You

will be surprised at how quickly they multiply. Now all you have to do is bring those you have collected to the Offi ce where

we keep a pail for our offi ce discards. And then you can feel good rather than guilty. We CAN make a diff erence. Aft er all,

The Second Stage Players

performances of ‘Christmas in 2015’

were a huge success. Our audiences

enjoyed the story of Jim (Phil Parmley)

Christmas. This modern day story of

plenty of fun. The cast was

delighted to receive a standing

ovation on closing night. Thank you

Drama Club Brazilian Embroidery

Darlene, the leader of the Brazilian

Embroidery Club, started the club

about 7 years ago with approximately

21 members. When I walked in one

morning to see some of the projects,

I was stunned by the beauty of them

and became a member. For those

who have embroidered most of their

life, what is the diff erence? Brazilian

Embroidery applies stitches from the

whole palette of stitches and knots

you already know, except you lay layer

upon layer, creating a dimensional

picture and you only use rayon thread.

Introduced in the 1800’s, Rayon was

the fi rst man-made fi ber and Brazil was

the fi rst country to use it extensively,

hence the name. Stitching for

three hours comes with sharing of

knowledge, helping each other and

many stories and jokes in good humor.

Supplies and starter kits are available.

Last Thursday, the club went to a local

restaurant to celebrate the season.

If you are interested in joining, you

The Book Club met as usual on

December 7th, 1st Monday of the

month in the Soroptimist Room

upstairs in the Centre.

Next meeting will be January

4th,2016. Why not start the New Year

sharing the books you have read over

the Holidays.

Everyone is welcome. I have just

fi nished John Irving’s new book,

Avenue of Mysteries. The book has

received rave reviews. Considering his

other books, Hotel New Hampshire,

Cider House Rules, to mention a few,

one would expect the same quality in

this book.

I enjoyed the characters and the

writing, but to me the book does not

come close to his other earlier ones.

I hope everyone had a Merry

Christmas. The quilters had a bit of

a hiatus in December, due to some

members being ill or away. We still

have two quilts on frames, and we are

always looking for people who have

quilts they would like to have quilted.

VOLUNTEERSA Message from Deanne, your Volunteer Coordinator

VOLUNTEER

OF THE MONTHHappy 2016 everyone! Why not

self refl ect on how much time you

spend volunteering? We have some

of the most amazing Volunteers

that consistently step up and give

of themselves. We don’t want that

amazing 10% doing 90% of the

volunteering and burning out. If you

can fi nd a little time to give back to the

Evergreen Club, the benefi t of giving

will come back to you many times

over! Here’s a quote to leave you with:

“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise

In democracy. You vote in elections

once a year but when you volunteer,

you vote everyday about the kind of

community you want to live in.”

-Marjorie Moore

Thanks,

Deanne

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

PM SHIFT FOOD SERVICE HOSTESS/HOSTS This is a good place to meet new people and work as part of a dynamic team. One aft ernoon per month or more! 1:00pm

- 3:30pm you will be scheduled to serve customers, do kitchen duties and begin the shut down process. It would involve

staying past 3:30 in order to follow the full shut down procedures list. Food Safe is preferred but not mandatory - training is

provided! This is a nice time for an easy pace in the kitchen. The lunch time rush is over and you have a quieter ‘coff ee and

treat ‘kind of a crowd. You always work with a partner.

MUFFIN HEROGreat for morning people! Prepare coff ee, make muffi ns and prep for the day. Our Muffi n Hero volunteers must have the

ability to work with little supervision. Shift can be fl exible (normally one full week every 5 weeks) but can be a few days a

week if necessary. Typically 7:00am - 10:00 am Monday - Friday. Volunteers can be any age and don’t have to be members

of the Club. Come join us with a partner (scheduling works best with a buddy). Of course, if you don’t have a partner we will

do our best to match you up. Food Safe preferred but not mandatory - training is provided!

Call Deanne 250-338-1000 ext 232 or email [email protected] if you are interested in hearing more about these

opportunities.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT!Neil and Jeanette are two special people who contribute their time and energies

to the Evergreen Club. Neil’s the soft spoken ‘sporty’ one and Jeanette’s the

extroverted ‘musical’ one. Both are well deserving of being our fi rst Volunteer of

the Month duo for 2016.

Neil’s involved in many of the sports off ered at the EG like fl oor curling, golf, and

carpet bowling. He is one of those key guys that steps up and knows the success

of a club relies on giving back to it. He is the registrar and treasurer of the golf

club and is fully involved in all aspects of carpet bowling (score keeping, tourneys

etc...). He sets the standard very high with his integrity and leads by example

to newer members. Neil is also a provincially accredited referee. Fellow carpet

bowler, Wally Lamond says, “He’s such a joy. One of those guys that quietly gets

it done behind the scenes.”

Jeanette is the Gospel Sing-Along group’s director. Her duties include song

selections and communications (Neil works the projector). Gospel’s Marnie

Dean says, “She’s so fun to work with and picks good songs!” Jeanette creates an

inviting group where people are encouraged to come and listen even if they don’t

want to sing. She wants people to know this group is not about performance.

She wants people to come sing simply because they can… or hum or whistle! The

duo’s other volunteering includes helping at The Sid, Salvation Army Kettle Drive,

and being active with the Comox Community Baptist Church. The Harrison’s

philosophy in life sums up nicely with the word ‘Connection.’ They feel you can

never be bored or lonely if you connect but stress you do have to make the eff ort.

Congrats!
