FRIENDLY FRIDLEY FOLKS MEE'T'INGS DEC. 1.60 1980 - Following the pledge- of a1.legiancc to the flag, Alice Fugere, fellow member and Greyhound Representative wished all other members a happy Holiday. Alice also spoke very briefly on future tours for 1981 after thanking everyone who had gone an any of the Greyhound Travel fours. The Sunshine girl, Ruth Martin, spread some of that sunshine with her rendition of an all- time favorite Christmas song. If Santa was listening he will surely got those two front teeth for her before next Christmas. On behalf of the Friendly Fridley folks, Connie McMillion presented a gift of a rod and reel to out-going president Alex Berberich as a show of appreciation for his efforts in office. Club members, in their respect for Alex, felt that he has taken his official responsibility very seriously as evidenced in the manner that he kept club members up-dated on related activities and informed of community news. Collecting data on story telling was one of Alexs' extra features. Employee representatives Marcia Etlicher, Mary Ingaldson, Jan Klinsing, and Shirley Ann Johnson took time off from their duties at the Fridley State Bank to accommodate club members with a short but ;informative talk on recently adopted NOW Accounts. These new accounts are a combined savings and checking accounts with interest at the same level as a regular account and no service charge if the accounts fall no lower than a certain level ($600.00 for seniors). Additional information is readily available at the Fridley State Bank - 571-2200. After concluding the business part of the meeting, members turned their attention to the pleasant sounds of the Treble Tones, a chorus of twenty two ladies from the metro area. Under the direction of Gloria Grothe and with Dorothy Janikowski as accompanist, the singers put their sixteen years of experience to excellent use in a program of familiar and a few unusual Christmas carols. This spring, members and the public in general can hear the Treble Tones in a concert when they will raise money for a scholarship in music at the University of Minnesota. Shortly after the conclusion of the singing treat, club members were guests to another treat in the form of coffee, cookies,' and ice cream. A gift from the Fridley State Bank to the Friendly Fridley Folks. The four ladies from the bank served as hostesses, giving the club Refreshment Committee a well-deserved day of rest and relaxation. Included in the Christmas party, the last event of the day, was a drawing for prizes donated by Fridley businessmen. Some prizes reaching twenty five dollars in value. Then an exchange of gifts where each member put a gift on a table upon arrival and later was handed a gift. There were many pleasant suprizes. A vote of thanks was given to Bea Kryzer for her efforts of collecting so many prizes from the business places. Last but not least, Bea Kryzer, on behalf of the club, presented Connie McMillion with a giftofappreciation of the extra work she does for the club. In receiving the gift, Connie stated that she really didn't deserve any extra consideration which was one time she wasn't in accordance with the rest of the Friendly Fridley Folks. JAN. 6, 1981 - The first meeting of the new year was conducted by newly elected President Pony Lorbeski. Other officers in attendance were Vice President Alex Berberich, Secretary Esther Campbell, and `Treasurer Faye Kopp. First business of the evening was a talk by Jack Hansen, Co-chairman of the Fridley Community Recreation Building Needs Assessment Committee. Mr. Hansen's concern is with the feasibility of a community building in the park that is now being developed on University Avenue west of the Columbia Arena. Such factors as financing, usages, maintenance, and sharing with other organizations was the foremost topic of the talk. Club members were asked to express an opinion, by way of a questionnaire, and a majority favored the proposal. The Sunshine Committee, Ruth Martin, reported that Bobby Maddison appreciated all of the cards that she received while she was a patient at Unity Hospital. Ruth also noted that three more members, Maude Williams, Bill Heikkila, and 1-Ijalmer Anderson had entered Unity Hospital for various reasons. Several committees are being formed under the guidance of the club officers and the club officers and their reports will be included in future news items. Club Coordinator, Connie McMillion, announced that craft classes would be starting at the Village Green on January 24th. Also, the Senior Slim classes would resume on January 28th at the Community Education Center. While relaxing with coffee and doughnuts, members were fortunate to have Vernon Hansen, a local musician from Bloomington as entertainment for the evening. Vernon, an accordionist, played and sang some of the old time numbers that were so good to listen to and dance to a few years ago or so. His return was a welcome event. *** WINTER CLASSES*** CCC LATCH HOOK FOR WOMEN For the month of February it has been suggeste that we hold a combined card party on Thursday Learn the techniques of latch hook and make afternoons at 1 :00 p.m. Party Whist, Cribbagp� a pillow, rug, or wall . hanging, and 500 will be played at Parkview (Community Education Center).
