Great Xmas Meeting!

Sheauga Charter Chapter's annual Christmas dinner was especially fun this year, thanks to the visitors from the Women of Wisdom Chapter (WOW) and entertainment by Free Harmony.

ABWA Christmas Dinner Meeting

Last month it was suggested that reservations for our December 2nd meeting be made with a payment of $20 . We won't have to collect money at the door. Invitations have gone out to many former members.
Our entertainment is Free Harmony, the show choir from Chardon High School. They need lots of space to sing and dance so Donna reserved the bigger room. We would like to fill the tables in there and have a fun evening.
Please send your reservations to Jan Stewart, 9655 Fox Meadow Lane, Chardon, OH 44024 by November 28th.

Good Meeting

Our November 4th meeting was a succesful one. Besides the interesting speaker, good food, and good company, we accomplished quite a lot. We were able to approve our proposed budget and discuss possible spring fundraisers.

John Springer told us about the 15% cut from the state library funds and answered all of our techy questions.

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Remember to call me by Monday if you are coming to our November 4th meeting at Dino's. You have a choice of soups: Italian Wedding Soup or Stuffed Pepper Soup (without the pepper).

Speaker: John Springer, "Talking Computerese for Everyone"

Call: Jan 440-285-9292

November Issue Published

The latest of issue of Raccoon Tales was just published this week. Sheauga's next meeting is November 4 which is on my birthday and one day after Bonnie's birthday. We will meet at Dino's at 5:30 for networking. The soup has been changed from the broccoli cheddar to a "naked pepper" which means no pepper, I guess. John Springer is going to share his knowledge of computers with us. If you have any computer problems, and frankly, who doesn't? Come and join us.
Call Jan by Mon. 440-285-9292 to make a reservation.

Newsletter almost ready to "hit the presses!"

After working all afternoon on a newsletter template I have 2 full pages complete with photos. Now I have to figure out how to send it via e-mail so everyone else's computer can read it. I have tried attachments. I even tried to "blog" it. I have copied and pasted portions but they never show the true "Newsletter" as it is in its original form. If any of you readers have a suggestion, please write a comment. This is a lifelong learning position!

Blown Away by Women Pilots

The tour of the Women's Air & Space Museum in Cleveland is well worth the trip. We were extremely fortunate to have Connie Luhta as an excellent guide. She pointed out the highlights of each woman pilot's accomplishments. These were renegade women! Yet most were pretty, petite, young and definitely adventurous.

Women's Air & Space Museum Tour-Tonight!

Remember that the tour is tonight at 7:00 PM at Burke Lakefront Airport. Bring your friends--the more the merrier!

Anchors Aweigh!

Louise Fiest just sent me a postcard with the meeting information for Anchors Aweigh Charter Chapter.
July 14, at 7:00 PM in the Jefferson Community Center
11 East Jefferson St., in Jefferson, OH.
This will be dessert and beverage only (sugar free desserts included).
They will host their scholarship recipients and families as guests.

August meeting will be at Charlene Hare's.
For more information, contact Louise oldweezer@yahoo.com

Blogging is fun!

If you want to try your hand at creating a blog, please go to GeeksonTour.com for free tutorials with Chris Guld. She shows you how and talks you through each step. Her calm manner and nice voice guide you slowly. It is really simple and so much fun!

Women's Air & Space Museum Tour

This Thursday, July 9th, join Sheauga Charter Chapter members and friends at Burke Lakefront Airport at 7:00 PM. Connie Luhta, "pilot extraordinaire" will be our guide through the women's air and space museum.

ABWA Picnic Today!

Today is the big day! Jerry made a nice sign to mark his driveway. I have balloons to tie to the mailbox.
Don't forget your Phunny money and auction items.

It's Raining in Chardon!

Well, the rain cancelled golf for today at Chardon Lakes. I spent the afternoon cooking sloppy joes for our ABWA picnic tomorrow. You know it is always better the 2nd day. Jerry cleaned his basement so we can be inside or out, depending on the weather.

I received RSVPs from Reena, Bonnie & Sue, Donna, her guest, and Maria who are coming. I also received several from those unable to attend such as Nan and Barb, Darlene, Michaeleen, Janine, and a friend from my church. Keep Nan in your thoughts and prayers. She is going through some tough times with her health.

It looks like a good group for tomorrow. If you have any questions you can call me on my cell phone at 440 567-4408, my home phone 440-285-9292, or Jerry's home 440-286-9185.

Experimenting

Dear ABWA Members,

I have been experimenting with Microsoft Office-Word. There is a "Publisher" menu which is supposed to send your document over to the blog. Part of it came over and the rest is missing.???? I was hoping to publish the entire newsletter this way but it still has bugs. I'll keep trying. At least I am learning a lot in the process.
