MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTThank you all for your well wishes, monies, and holiday gifts to the Palacio Family. The Club put together a considerable gift package in a short time. It was an impressive demonstration of your compassion for people less fortunate. When I went by Sunday to drop off the last contributions, the baby was in the stroller and warmly wrapped in the very soft fleece blanket you provided. They were quite surprised and touched by your generosity.
Fred

BORREGO NEWSBorrego experienced heavy rain on December 28th, solidly stopping the 5 year drought, and guaranteeing a good wildflower season.
RUMMAGE SALERemember to keep collecting and bringing in those unused treasures from your house so that we can sell them into someone else's house at our upcoming (February 19-20) rummage sale.
DECEMBER TOURNAMENT We had a fair turnout of 38 contestants for the December 4 - 5, 2004 straight doubles tournament. Rain started around 11 a.m. on Sunday, and so 2 tournament finals had to be delayed to another tournament weekend. Jef took these pictures of the winners (and finalists). Jef won the $50 drawing. Congratulations, Jef!

MEMBER HEALTHJohn Schultz is slated for a knee replacement in January. Dick Stadelbacher looks to be back to normal after his summer heart surgery, making it all the way into the finals last month!!! Janel seemed to be in good health after her accident this summer, as well. Janice Atzen is 90% recovered from her rotator cuff injury, but won't be joining us until the fall, as her time is consumed with the affairs of her mother, who recently passed away.
RECYCLED E-MAIL JOKE circulated March 31, 2004 by LizHMO PolicyMr. Smith goes to the doctor's office to collect his wife's test results. The lab tech says to him: "I'm sorry, sir, but there has been a bit of a mix-up and we have a problem. When we sent the samples from your wife to the lab, the samples from another Mrs. Smith were sent as well and we are now uncertain which one is your wife's. Frankly, it is either bad or terrible!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, one Mrs. Smith has tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other Mrs. Smith has tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your wife."
"That's terrible. Can we do the test over?"
"Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and they won't pay for these expensive tests more than once."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
The HMO recommends that you drop your wife off in the middle of town. If she remembers the way home, don't sleep with her."
