PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
Thankfulness matters.  It gives each one of us an unfettered opportunity to be happy.  Because we are educated women, we can confidently itemize the matters that trouble us and put them in their places.  We understand that what we say to ourselves, our inner talk, assuredly determines our psychological well-being.  We, educated women, have a lot for which we are grateful.
Carole Krauthamer

GENERAL MEETING:
On December 9 at 1:00 p.m., we shall meet in the sanctuary of All Saints Episcopal Church to enjoy a holiday program presented by members of the American Boychoir School conducted by Fred Meads, director of Vocal Studies and conductor of the Training Choir.  Dr. Meads also gives private voice lessons, theory, and ear-training to the boys.  We again thank Father Hugh Brown for his generosity in allowing us to use the beautiful sanctuary of All Saints for this outstanding group of choristers.
The American Boychoir School was established in 1937.  It is committed to being the finest choir school of its kind in the nation and enjoys international recognition.  The school recruits and trains choristers from around the country.  It combines a training program for the mastery of choral music with a superior academic program.
The Women’s College Club of Princeton is honored to have members of the American Boychoir School’s Training Choir sing at our December meeting. After their performance the young gentlemen will join us for refreshments in our usual meeting room.  As with all of our programs, guests are always welcome.

HELP THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND:
An easy way to make a contribution to the WCCP Scholarship Fund is by collecting McCaffrey’s register receipts.  If you (or your friends and neighbors) have not used a discount such as Senior Tuesday for your purchases, please save your receipts for us.  At each general meeting there will be a collection basket for the deposit of your receipts, or you can send them to Beverly Kestenis.
