PWP "NEW ERA" CHAPTER 37

President's  Message February, 2012
Bob McCulley

I want to thank everyone who came out to our Dance in January. Not only did we have a good turn out, we even made a profit thanks to Carol Turpin.  Everyone had a lot of fun.  On Wednesday Jan 24 we had our installation dinner for your Board of Directors for 2012. We had a few changes. Annah Kreps is our new Secretary and has done a wonderful job. Cindy Johnson is our new Treasurer and she has done a great job as well. As for the rest of our Board Betty Fisher is still Admin VP, Gail White is our new Adult Activities Director, Liz Cervantes is still Program and Education, Mark Yawnick is still Newsletter Director, Don Gray is E & G Director, Loretta Winters is Advertising Director and will assist Gail, Carol Turpin is Membership Director and I am still the President.  We all look forward to serving you and hope to bring some new and exciting activities. I would like to bring back the discussions but on a smaller scale. Also we welcome any new ideas from our membership for activities or day trips. I look forward to seeing all of you at the Superbowl party at Gail's on February 5th, and our Sadie Hawkins Day Dance on the February 10th. Gail's Superbowl party is one of the biggest events of the year. You can come to our Dance and or Super Bowl party. So, bring your wife, girlfriend or boyfriend if you want.  Our Board of Directors looks forward to serving all your needs throughout 2012. We also welcome any new ideas for activities.  See everyone at the next Dance and Super Bowl parties.

Les Craycraft

January 28, 1916 - December 28, 2011

Les was a PWP supporter. He came to our Dances, he danced very actively, and he was fun to talk with.

During World War II, Les worked on essential defense projects, and for this reason he was deferred from military service. After the war, he was an electronics engineer at the Naval Weapons Center in Norco, CA.

Les will be greatly missed by us all.
