President’s Message
Each Country in the
World has a sound. It is the sound of its own language and the way its people
speak it, it’s the sound of its cities, of the wind that crosses them, of their
natural landscapes. Each Country has its own sound expression, called “Music”.
Each Country takes a part in growing the cultures on our planet, and with its
own “Music” it helps to enhance it and disperse it.
What a great time of the year. Although there’s a chill in
the air, soon spring's explosion of colors will take place. The crocuses have
poked up their heads and announced the daffodils and tulips are getting ready
to say SRING IS HERE! Baseball is back! The Phillies new additions have
re-imagined that wonderful excitement of the previous decade. Perhaps a parade
in the fall? Only time will tell.
Since I'm talkin' sports I think
most of us understand how even if we don't follow any particular sport, we see
how our whole community embraces the successes of our home teams. Whether it's
high school basketball state champs or the Superbowl champs, our collective
mood is elevated for days if not weeks. I often wondered why. Could it be pride
in our achievement even though it isn't really our achievement? Could it be
that because our day to day life is rather ordinary that we revel in the
success of our favorite team, even though it's not our own success? I don't
know, but I'd like to think that those of us who played organized sports
understand the importance of team work and camaraderie. The ability to work
side by side, to suffer through thick and thin, working toward, then achieving,
a successful outcome. I relished my children's achievements even though they
weren't mine. We root for the underdog but celebrate the victor as long as we
feel some kind of ownership.
You might ask where am I going
with this? The 65 club is MY team. We have veterans who have toiled for years
and also newbies like myself. We play
bridge and pinochle. We bowl and go on trips to nearby landmarks. We meet
weekly and listen to and question people of interest and sometimes those not so
interesting. The fact is, we are a team. We are a team of seniors who, after
spending most of our life in the work of family, community and faith, now pass
our days as a group in the never-ending search for relevance. We do award trophies
at our spring luncheon. Individual achievement does have some merit. That and
bragging rights suits us fine. The 65 club gives me a reason to wake in the AM.
The 65 club is my team and there is nothing better than TEAM!
– – Jay Cokos

you think you are beaten, you are.

If
you like to win, but think you can't, it's almost certain you won't.
Teaser for Ladies Spring Luncheon– May
9th
In the
world’s history, some Countries covered an important role especially because of
their music. Among these is Italy, that has always been represented by the Classical Neapolitan Song from great
artists, musicians, composers, musical directors, as well as music academics
and researchers. At the Ladies Spring Luncheon, we are proud to present ANNA CALEMME:
The winner of 5th edition
of the ‘’Festival of Naples’
The Neapolitan SanRemo Awards
Phillies Game – July 30th
The 65 Club will greet Bryce
Harper and the rest of the Phillies from the
field-level Section 138 seats on Tuesday, July 30th. The Phillies will
take on San Francisco Giants. Note that
this is on the third base side so that the setting sun will not be in your
eyes.
Our charter busw ill depart from the Bancroft parking lot
adjacent to the high school, at 5:00 PM.
We are fortunate to be able to keep the cost the same as
last year, only $50.00 per person.
Just send your check to the Haddonfield 65 Club, 110 Rhoads
Ave, Haddonfield NJ. Please put your phone number on the check. Your check will
reserve your seat. First, come first served. If you have questions, contact
Bill Brown at billbrown08033@aol.com,
or call 856 429 4368
The
Friendship committee has been expanded so that we can do a better job of
welcoming new members as well as keeping in touch with homebound or ill
members. This is in addition to past duties of sending sympathy cards and memorials
on behalf of deceased members.
The friendship committee is here to cheer
you up and bring you some sunshine as well as keep the 65 Club friendship vibrant.
However, we can use your help. If you know someone who needs some cheer please
call one of the following:

Just A Few Chuckles
♦ I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. Not
to cause any trouble, but shouldn't that be an even number?
♦ I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue
stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.
♦ When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their body.
Men are so polite they only look at the covered parts.
♦ My therapist says I have a preoccupation with
vengeance. We'll see about that.
♦ I think my neighbor is stalking me as she's been
Googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night.
♦ Money talks ... but all mine ever says is good-bye.
♦ If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try
missing a couple of payments.
♦ I always wondered what the job application is like at
Hooters. Do they just give you a bra and say, "Here, fill this out?"
♦ My therapist said that my narcissism causes me to
misread social situations. I’m pretty sure she was hitting on me.
♦ The location of your mailbox shows you how far away
from your house you can go in a robe before you start looking like a mental
patient
♦ Money can’t buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in
touch!
