President’s Message:
Several years ago, while barging with friends in France,
Lynda and I came across two barges of Danish men who were
also barging in the Alsace-Loraine region. All sixteen of them
were sans wives (which apparently is a Danish custom – sep-
arate vacations). They were a jolly group and our paths often crossed for a
few days. Each time we met or separated they would all burst into song:
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? NOT!”
We will certainly never forget them or their Scottish ditty.
Nor will I ever forget my second term as President of Newcomers’. It
has been an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new ones.
Along the way, we have had great times and some not so great times but, all
in all, we created memories that will not be forgotten. I believe we accom-
plished our goal of bringing new life to the Club by encouraging our new
members to help carry the burden of Club operations by implementing the
plethora of activities we all seek and enjoy.
My heartfelt thanks go to an Executive Committee that has endured trials
and tribulations but nonetheless has contributed superbly to a successful
year. My special thanks go to four people who saved us. Carol Cook and
Gail Senteny stepped in and did not miss a beat when their successors were
unable to assume their duties due to illness and/or family necessities (First
Vice President Pat England returned to her tasks belatedly and Second Vice
President – well, not so much). And my Plan B Angels, Edwina Rosenbusch
and Lynda Fletcher, jumped into the breach and arranged for our luncheon
venues for the balance of the year when it became apparent that the Second
Vice President slot would remain vacant.
The General Board has also done a magnificent job and I thank you all for
your dedication to the Club. Without fail each of you performed your as-
signed tasks and more. The Club is indebted to you for your service. Many
of you have signed on for another term, for which I am sure Hank Merrill is
grateful.
All that said, it seems appropriate to announce your new executive offic-
ers for the year 2015-16. After a hard fought campaign the following were
elected. President: Hank Merrill, First Vice President: Karen Jurgens, Sec-
ond Vice President: Don Bonnema, Secretary: Pete Harmon, and Treasur-
er: Becky Bock. We wish them well in their new endeavors.

healing so thank you for that big push.” Calls and cards are welcome.
