President’s Message
The fall
festival was a success. Al Schmidt was
at our tables all day and interested many prospects. Bill Brown had a
prospective member sign an application on the spot.
Are you ready
for change.? Apple has a new phone. Electric cars will be more prominent in the
future. They are even talking about drones delivering supplies to devastated
areas in the future. I think you should have a battery charger for your cell
phone should the electric fail. What do you do if the cell tower is out? If you have a satellite phone you can
connect with the rest of the world. But,
where would you go? I propose we get a
back-up electric generator for the club house.
Then, we could come to the club house play cards, party and see each
other.
On November 4th we
are having a wine and cheese party at the Grace Episcopal community room . The
party starts at 7PM. Donations of appetizers or deserts are welcome.
On November 14th
there is trip to the Revolutionary War Museum in Philadelphia leaving the Pub
at 10 AM. Call Bill Brown at 856 459
4368 to see if a seat is available.

5K Juvenile Diabetes Run – Saturday Nov 25th
The Haddonfield 65 Club will provide marshals this year for the Haddon
Township Juvenile Diabetes 5K Run. The 5K Heart Run with which we have been
associated for years was cancelled this year, thus the change. The Run is
scheduled for November 25th. All members who are able to help out should
meet at the 65 Club, 110 Rhoads Ave at 8:00 am. Ron Howley will provide maps
and assign corners at that time. This is a slightly larger race than those in
the past and as a result we need about 27 volunteers.
It is a long tradition of
the 65 Club to provide marshals for this type of event. The goal is to help the
community and assure safety for the runners at street crossings. Please call
Ron Howley at 428-0191 to volunteer as soon as you can. We need to be sure that
we have a sufficient number of marshals to cover the race.

health-care patient at the Elmwood
Hills Healthcare Center in Turnersville, NJ.
No need to wrap them as they will be opened
and examined by the hospital staff. The use of holiday bags is encouraged.
Please do not include any candy or food, or medical items. These gifts will be
transported to the hospital after the party.
A Shopper's
Tale
On October 7 I visited Wegmans
to pick up a container of salad bar fixings. I went to a check-out line with a sign
which said "7 or fewer items". Two people were ahead of me, including
a lady with 50 items, maybe more. Obviously, she had a problem, she avoided
reading signs that said "7 or fewer items".
The stocky gentleman behind
her and in front of me had several large containers of doughnuts, with red,
white and blue icing and small American flags protruding from each doughnut. We
started talking. He said he, with others, was sponsoring a golf
tournament that day for disabled American veterans (who had lost limbs in
wars), and was grateful for the opportunity. I asked him if he was a
veteran. He said "no". He, named Frank, asked me if I was
a veteran. Kiddingly I replied: "Yes, of the Civil War."
He looked at me a bit startled. "Are you really that old?" he
asked. I said I was only kidding, but that I served stateside during the
Vietnam War.
"Well, I am going to buy
your salad. You served. That's important," said Frank. I protested. Frank
insisted.
Meanwhile, the young girl at
the register was ringing up Frank's doughnut order, but for whatever the
reason, she kept coming up with a total of $440, not including my salad.
She was finally rescued from her trauma by a supervisor, who rang up the right
total. I asked her how long she had been working there. She said
about a year. I thought to myself this on-the-job training at Wegmans
really takes a lot longer than it should.
Frank paid for his doughnuts
and my salad. I told Frank I was appreciative, and would go home and tell my
wife about this wonderful gentleman named Frank and his
"pay-it-forward" deed. I told Frank he was doing God's
work. "Thank you," said Frank.
Driving home I thought to
myself maybe I should not be so cynical or skeptical about my fellow human
beings. There are, after all, a lot of great people out there, including Frank
And
members of the 65 Club too. – –

Nine Important Facts to
Remember as You Grow Older:
Number
9 - Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Number
8 - Life is sexually transmitted.
Number
7 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number
6 - Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a
sandwich, you have a 50% chance of being right...
Number
5 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to
use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number
4 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying
of nothing.
Number
3 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to
criticism.
Number
2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is
weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1 - Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your butt tomorrow.
