Alice's Corner 6-11

Boy if you missed Tuesday's meeting you missed a real treat.

By the end of the meeting my face hurt from smiling so much.

Maeve attended the installation of our new Governor Nancy Castle.  It was held at the Walker Horse Ranch in Patagonia.

Jane announced a potluck to be held for Laureen.  It will be at Jane's home starting at 12 noon, Saturday the 15th of June.  She asks that you bring something to accompany a hero sandwich.  She will provide refreshments.

David Lightfoot has a receptacle in front of his place of business, Continental Storage, on Coca Cola drive.  He is requesting women's clothing and shoes to help the Kolman Cancer Center.

The installation for the dinner on June 29th has been canceled.  Many people will be out of town.  It would not be fair to our incoming President not to have as many people as possible to cheer her on.  An formal  installation will be held at the June 25th meeting with a dinner in the future to be announced at a later date.

Maeve is inviting the club to join her for the Let Freedom Sing Celebration on July 4th. to be held at the Centennial Hall, University of Arizona.  It is a musical celebration featuring the Arts Express Soloists, Choir and Orchestra with a guest appearance of the Dixie Cats and Big Band Express.  She will have a bus to transport everyone.  Please RSVP as soon as possible.  She has limited seating.

John Zwick was pressed into service to be the Sergeant of Arms.  He not only did a terrific job but his ticket was pulled by our new perspective member Pam Beine.  He won a $1000!!  He leaves this week for Las Vegas.  Kind of fishy don't you think?

Our delightful guest speaker was Kathy Acosta Zavala.  She related some wonderful stories about her dream to become an accomplished classical and folkloric guitarist.  We asked numerous questions.  Consequently her playing time was very limited but enjoyed by all.  She was 12 years old when she started to play the guitar.  Since she was 16 she has been studying classical.  It requires a minimum of 8 hours per day of practice sometimes as many as 12 hours.  She is looking forward to concerts in Canada and Peru.  She is a straight A student and holds down two jobs as well.  She displayed various techniques in her music.  We were all mesmerized by this delightful young lady.  We wish her well.
