Table Tennis<br />
We at the Table Tennis <strong>Club</strong> wish<br />
everyone a very Happy Christmas<br />
and a safe Happy New Year. We have<br />
welcomed 6 new members in the last<br />
few months, all who appear to have<br />
some foundation in Table Tennis.<br />
As pointed out, experience is not<br />
necessary but delightful when you<br />
have it as all is required is practice to<br />
refi ne it. You pay .75¢ - balls & bats<br />
supplied.<br />
On December 15th, 12 or so members<br />
met at the White Spot to celebrate<br />
Christmas and it was fun.<br />
We also had a Table Tennis Party in the<br />
Rotary Hall on December 18th. This<br />
party was mainly to thank Campbell<br />
River for their great support this past<br />
year as there would not be a club<br />
without them.<br />
And for Cliff who is fi ghting his<br />
courageous battle – our thoughts and<br />
prayers are with you<br />

Quilters<br />
Out with the old, in with the new.<br />
Welcome 2013. The quilters are<br />
still busy quilting. We have two<br />
commissioned quilts on the go, and<br />
at least one other waiting. The spring<br />
raffl e quilt is already completed. We<br />
have a new lady quilter, welcome<br />
Marlyse. “Behind every quilter is a<br />
huge pile of fabric.”<br />

Brazilian Embroidery<br />
We are sure many of you viewed the<br />
YANA Christmas trees at the Drift wood<br />
Mall and took particular interest in one<br />
that was decorated by the <strong>Evergreen</strong><br />
Brazilian Embroidery group and their<br />
associated group VIBES, Black Creek.<br />
Our members put in many hours<br />
creating a great variety and number of<br />
handmade ornaments with which to<br />
decorate the tree. Special thanks to<br />
Darlene who coordinated this project.<br />
The tree sold for just under $400.00,<br />
dollars that will be used by YANA to<br />
support their charitable eff orts.<br />
Prior to breaking for Christmas and<br />
New Years members attended a<br />
Christmas lunch at the Monte Cristo<br />
and I understand this was enjoyed<br />
by all. It doesn’t seem possible that<br />
when the group next gets together it<br />
will be 2013!<br />
While the Valley has been getting<br />
snow, we’ve been getting rain<br />
in Arizona. The locals aren’t<br />
complaining, but quite the opposite,<br />
as rain was last received in September<br />
and that was just 1/2”. As I write<br />
this we are enjoying the annual golf<br />
cart parade, carts are decorated for<br />
Christmas and drive through the<br />
development honking their horns –<br />
one way of making the desert seem<br />
more “Christmasy”!<br />
We hope all enjoyed Christmas and<br />
have a happy, healthy 2013!<br />
