President’s Message
In like a
lion and out like a lamb (or the reverse). Such is our popular belief for
March. This year, I hope we get the Lamb, because the first part of March (with
4 Nor’easters) was no lamb. Moreover, it turns out that legendary Punxsutawney
Phil was right on for his prediction of a longer winter. So, we can only hope that the April Showers
do bring us the May Flowers. I will not ask you to tell me what May Flowers
bring…
As we move on
into April, we look forward to exciting changes. Golf starts on April 4th
at Golden Pheasant and from then on our intrepid members will be spending each
Wednesday visiting local courses and chasing lower handicaps. Good luck to you
all.
On March 29th
the Phillies start their season in Atlanta. On April 5th at 3:05 the Phillies
have their home opener. They play the Miami Marlins. We all wish them a great
season.
April is also
the month our Income Tax Filings are due. Given the changes in the tax laws, we
can enjoy this last year when we can do our filing from memory. Next year we
will be learning the ins and outs of filing under the new law. So, enjoy (?)
your filing for this year, because there will be a lot of changes to learn
about for next year.
After filing
our taxes on the 15th, we have the Feed My Starving Children event.
We have a slot on Saturday, the 21st. Be sure to sign up for this
exciting activity. This year it will be at the Armory in Cherry Hill. I guess
they needed more room. I can tell you, from experience, that it is fun,
rewarding and full of energy.
April is also
the time to sign up for the Ladies Spring Luncheon. This event is not to be
missed. Make your plans and reservations quickly, so you are not left out.
Remember that
Jay Cokos has been very busy setting up interesting speakers for our Thursday
meetings. Try to attend as many as you can. There are always some interesting
tidbits to take away.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
– – Charles R. Swindoll
April is the month
in which we produce the annual membership directory. All those who have not paid
their dues by this time will be dropped from the directory assuming that they
have resigned from the club.
Ladies Spring Luncheon – May 10th
It’s not too
early to put the Ladies Spring Luncheon on your calendar. Once again it will be
held at Tavistock. Sometime in the next few weeks you will be receiving a call
from Bob Parsons, our luncheon organizer to sign you up and get your menu
preference. The cost of the luncheon remains at $30 per person.
The Cash Bar
will open at 12:00 Noon and lunch will be served at 12:30. The entre selections
are: Chicken Picata, Caesar Salad with Jumbo Lump Crab, Salmon or Pasta
Primavera. Of course, there will also be the
usual accompaniments; rolls, butter, coffee and tea as well as ice cream for
dessert.
Haddonfield’s
own Julia Chin will be providing entertainment for the luncheon. Over the
years, we have watched Julia grow as a person and as a musical talent. Julia
Rose Chin, age 16, attends the Julliard Pre-College and is an 11th
grader at Haddonfield Memorial High School.
Julia started playing the violin when she was 6 years old and currently
studies the violin with Dr. Ann Setzer at Julliard. The winner of several
competitions, Julia has performed at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln
Center, and the Kimmel Center. Julia has always enjoyed “making music” with her
friends and has helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars for various good
causes through “Play It For Good”. Outside of music, Julia enjoys cooking (and
eating!), Japanese culture, computer science and videogames.

LAWS OF
NATURE
| Law of the Alibi - If you tell the boss you
were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you
will have a flat tire. Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time). Law of the Bath - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings. Law of Close Encounters - The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with. Law of the Result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will. The Coffee Law - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your wife will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold. Murphy's Law of Lockers - If there are only 2 people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers. Law of Physical Surfaces - The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor, are directly correlated to the newness & cost of the carpet or rug. Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about. Brown's Law of Physical Appearance - If the clothes fit, they're ugly. Wilson's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy - As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it. Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better.. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick. |
Christian One-Liners
Don’t let your worries
get the best of you; Remember, Moses started out as a basket case.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Some people are kind,
polite, and thoughtful - Until you try to sit in their pews.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Many folks want to serve
God - But only as advisers.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
It is easier to preach
ten sermons
-Than it is to live one.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
The good Lord didn't
create anything without a purpose - But mosquitoes come close.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
When you get to your
wit's end - You'll find God lives there.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Quit griping about your
church - If it was perfect, you couldn't belong.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
If a church wants a
better pastor - It only needs to pray for the one it has.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
We're called to be
witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God Himself doesn't
propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Some minds are like
concrete - Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
I don't know why some
people change churches - What difference does it make
which one you stay home from?
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Coincidence is when God
chooses to remain anonymous.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Don' t wait for 6 strong
men to take you to church.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God loves everyone -But
probably prefers 'fruits of the spirit' over 'religious nuts!'
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God promises a safe
landing, not a calm passage.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
If God is your Co-pilot,
swap seats!
