President’s Message:

Several years ago, while barging with friends in France,

Lynda and I came across two barges of Danish men who were

also barging in the Alsace-Loraine region. All sixteen of them

were sans wives (which apparently is a Danish custom – sep-

arate vacations). They were a jolly group and our paths often crossed for a

few days. Each time we met or separated they would all burst into song:

“Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? NOT!”

We will certainly never forget them or their Scottish ditty.

Nor will I ever forget my second term as President of Newcomers’. It

has been an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new ones.

Along the way, we have had great times and some not so great times but, all

in all, we created memories that will not be forgotten. I believe we accom-

plished our goal of bringing new life to the Club by encouraging our new

members to help carry the burden of Club operations by implementing the

plethora of activities we all seek and enjoy.

My heartfelt thanks go to an Executive Committee that has endured trials

and tribulations but nonetheless has contributed superbly to a successful

year. My special thanks go to four people who saved us. Carol Cook and

Gail Senteny stepped in and did not miss a beat when their successors were

unable to assume their duties due to illness and/or family necessities (First

Vice President Pat England returned to her tasks belatedly and Second Vice

President – well, not so much). And my Plan B Angels, Edwina Rosenbusch

and Lynda Fletcher, jumped into the breach and arranged for our luncheon

venues for the balance of the year when it became apparent that the Second

Vice President slot would remain vacant.

The General Board has also done a magnificent job and I thank you all for

your dedication to the Club. Without fail each of you performed your as-

signed tasks and more. The Club is indebted to you for your service. Many

of you have signed on for another term, for which I am sure Hank Merrill is

grateful.

All that said, it seems appropriate to announce your new executive offic-

ers for the year 2015-16. After a hard fought campaign the following were

elected. President: Hank Merrill, First Vice President: Karen Jurgens, Sec-

ond Vice President: Don Bonnema, Secretary: Pete Harmon, and Treasur-

er: Becky Bock. We wish them well in their new endeavors.

A MESSAGE FROM JUDY & JOE WINKLER

Dear Newcomer Friends,

After much thought, Joe and I have decided not to renew our member-

ship this year.

We have loved our associations and activities with Newcomers but

since we are now frequently at our home in St. George, we are finding

that our time here does not coincide with the activities we enjoy with

all of you.

If our situation changes in the future, we would like nothing better than

to rejoin. For those of you who would like to stay in touch with us,

our new contact information is as follows:

Salt Lake Address: Stays the same

Sun River St. George address: 1705 Morane Manor

St. George Utah 84790

Joe: [email protected] Phone (801) 462-5248

Judy: [email protected] Phone (801) 209-8405

Best Regards to all,

Joe and Judy Winkler

Mary Leaper had reverse shoulder replacement surgery on Feb. 13. She’s doing well and continued physi-

cal therapy is helping bring her back to normal. Mary would like to say, “Every good wish was a step toward

healing so thank you for that big push.” Calls and cards are welcome.

Pam Toth had shoulder surgery in February and is almost fully recovered. We hope to see Pam back at all her activities soon. Cards and calls would speed her on her way.

Congratulations to Phyllis McGuirk, our newest US citizen. A lot of hard work and dedication got you to

your goal. Welcome to the family!

John Hammel died the evening of March 22 due to heart failure complicated by pneumonia. Many of you

know that John and Gail had been active in the Gourmet group since its inception more than 15 years

ago. John was active in the planning and execution of our Thai meal in February. Our condolences go out to

Gail at this difficult time.

You don’t have to be a GOURMET cook to enjoy this group! But if you enjoy explor-

ing new recipes, eating GREAT meals and meeting new friends, Gourmet is the group for

you! In Gourmet, groups of people come together once a month – usually on the first Saturday - to share a good

meal. As a participant of Gourmet you can expect to be a host home (for 8 or more people) at least one time

individuals attending the dinner bring a menu item and their own beverage. Next Gourmet is Saturday, May

2 at 6:30 pm. RSVP no later than April 15. Contact Jody for more details.

Join us in May for a guided tour at the BYU MUSEUM OF ART. There are three

special exhibits: 1) Gabriel Dawe’s stunning Plexus no. 29. The two translucent

structures filtering through the Museum’s skylight appear to be luminous rays of

light refracted through a giant prism. The artist used a custom-made 15 foot tall needle to weave nearly 80

miles of thread in the creation on these site-specific architectural forms. 2) The infinite possibilities of Origa-

mi is a ground breaking exhibition that explores the evolution of Origami. 3) Art Deco Japan: Shaping Art

and Culture 1920-1945. Then we will tour their permanent American Art Collection. We will have lunch at

the Museum Café.

After lunch we can go through the newly renovated Life Science Museum if anyone is interested.

It will cost $5 to join for the three months: June, July, and August. The monthly cost will be $14 for lunch and

prizes.

The regular Marathon Bridge season will begin in September and ends in May. We use party bridge rotation and

commitment. You will be contacted this summer to confirm. Contact us, we have a really good time!

BRIDGE FOR FUN! For singles and couples - men and women - this group is for members who play bridge

just for the fun of it – all levels of players are welcome! We meet on the third

Coming Events

Thank you to all members, who solicited grant applications. You are helping Newcomers accomplish the

philanthropic aspect of our mission statement. The grants will be awarded at the June luncheon

AUGUST ONE AND DONE

August 30

Call Nancy Ramsdel at 801-571-0118

We need early commitments to reserve the facility.

Date: Sunday, August 30

Party time: 4:30pm on the patio

Show time: 6:00. The party can be moved into the theatre.

We have reserved 60 seats at tables and in the front rows of the theatre. The group rate is $40.00 pp.

I will have to confirm the number of tickets and/or request extra seats by May 15.

Please send your checks ASAP to: Nancy Ramsdell, 1992 E Falcon Hurst Cir, Sandy, UT 84092, 801-571-0118. Indicate on your

check if you would prefer theatre or table seating.

Those of you who have season tickets can move them to this date.

Plan to bring wine and hors d’oeuvres in the same fashion that we do for Smiling Grapes—a bottle of wine to share and a hearty

hors d’oeuvre per couple. Singles may bring either. This will be our dinner and we will want to continue eating after we are seat-

ed in the theatre.

We would appreciate some of you bringing cocktail plates, utensils, and plastic glasses.
