RDW HIGHLIGHTS OF THE APRIL 2009 MEETING

The April meeting was called to order at 12 PM by Co-President Ginny in the lovely 

country home of Shirley who opened with reading of the Clipped Wings' Creed.  Eight members were present.* The minutes of the last meeting were approved.  Treasurer Carol's report showed no change.

An ad on our tote bags has been submitted to the Clipped Wings Quarterly.

"IN THE MOOD"There will be no printed tickets for "In the Mood."  Buyer's checks will be their reservation.  Price is $25 per ticket.  ($20 Tax Deductible).  We are in need of items for the raffle.  Trays 

were distributed and chapter members are asked to put together  a small tray of what they might be making for the play.  This will act as our lunch at the next C.W. meeting at Chris' on May 20th.  Since the "Y" will not be printing tickets for us, we are hopeful that they will print flyers instead.

NEW BUSINESS
We need a date and members to sell tickets (an possibly raffle tickets) at Windsor Wal*Mart.
The uniform exhibit is up and running at the Pacific Coast Air Museum.
June 3rd, our National President, Pam Z., will be our honored guest at our theater benefit and spend the night at Dona's; followed by a June 4th combo MAR/RDW luncheon/meeting at the airport; followed by a two-chapter tour of the PCAM exhibits.  She will have dinner with the MAR members that night -- spending the night of 6/4 at MAR Co-President Stevie's. A MAR member will take her to the airport on June 5th 

to return to OMA.
Charity hours are to be turned in to Ginny.  (Include your scarf-knitting and bag-stuffing hours).
Material for the Blog should be submitted to Marilyn.
Unique "Domino Pins" were displayed which we could sell at convention and Founders' Day.  They will be displayed at the May meeting for a decision on whether or not to purchase for resale.  The "button" pins may perhaps be made at our September meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:12 PM

Respectfully submitted,
June

Co-Secretary

Broadway Musical

“Little Me”

Music - Cy Coleman, Lyrics -Carolyn Leigh, Book - Neil Simon

Probably the best musical comedy you've never heard of, “Little Me” is a whopping, whirling satire on the familiar "as told to" show biz biography. In this case, the Hollywood back-story is that of Belle Poitrine (French for "beautiful bosoms") a buxom blonde bimbo and queen of the silver screen. Follow her epic romances and rise to ascendance over the bodies of husbands, lovers and acquaintances who meet untimely deaths in her vicinity.
