PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
As I reach the end of my term as President of the WCCP for the 2017-2018 year, I am filled with a lot of mixed emotions. When I started my Presidency in September 2017, I had no idea my whole life would change in a few short months. I embraced the job with enthusiasm and lots of ideas I wanted to accomplish this year. I really have loved my tenure and involvement with my Board members, who are such super hard-working women and have made this experience such a pleasure. I have learned so much from them and am very confident that with Kathy Hutchins as your President again the club will continue to prosper and grow.
I am looking forward to seeing the great turnout for our Bridge/Card/Game Fundraiser this coming Monday, April 23. I know it will be very successful with our enthusiastic membership backing the Fundraiser! Thank you all for supporting this fun and profitable event and one of the highlights of our year.
I feel it is so very important to be active in every aspect of life and to help give of yourself, as the more you give, the more you will reap in return benefits!
Lastly, I want to say…..
Happy Trails to you until we meet
again
Happy Trails to you, keep smiling
until then
Much good health and happiness are wished for each one of you and your loved ones, too…..
Warmly in Friendship,
Florence Begun

ANNUAL MEETING AND LUNCHEON
MONDAY, MAY 21, 2018
12 NOON
NASSAU ROOM, PRINCETON WINDROWS
This important annual meeting will include a delicious lunch at Windrows, installation of the Board for 2018 – 2019, and a delightful program with Dr. Karen Zumbrunn, who will entertain us on the piano with “A Tribute to Women Composers”.
You will find a registration form to send with your check at the end of this Newsletter.
“TRIBUTE TO WOMEN COMPOSERS AND LYRICISTS OF THE POPULAR SONG”
Presenter: DR. KAREN FANTA ZUMBRUNN
The Great American Songbook is a term that generally refers to those melodies and lyrics from the ‘20s through the ‘60s – pop tunes, stage musicals, movies which have been handed down from generation to generation and have stood the test of time. It is a little-known fact that many of our enduring music classics of Tin Pan Alley were written by WOMEN.
Join Dr. Karen Zumbrunn as she presents the background on some of the amazing women who broke into what was very much a man’s world. Selections will include “Fine and Dandy”, “Don’t Blame Me”, “Just in Time”, and many others. This entertaining and informative program will include Dr. Z at the piano with voice, and the audience will participate as well.
Dr. Zumbrunn has degrees from Ohio State (B.A. and M.A.), Harvard (Ed.M) and a PhD from The University of California at Berkeley. She studied at The Sorbonne and L’Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris, where she performed at the “Blue Note” in Paris and recorded with the International Stars of Jazz in Rome. Dr. Zumbrunn performs widely in the area.

TRIPS:
Kathy Hutchins has taken on the task of arranging trips to interesting venues in the area. She will send information when a trip has been scheduled so you can put the day on your calendar.
HANDICRAFT GROUP:
The March 26 meeting proved once again to be a fun afternoon. A “surprise” birthday cake, minus candles, was provided by Kathy for Lorraine’s birthday on March 27. Martha Matthews demonstrated her acting skills, taking the role of lit candles and everyone burst into song. Our core membership of six was present with four guests. Janet Young offered to host the next meeting on May 7, at 1:30 p.m., at her home in Princeton. Please contact her by phone or email if you plan to attend. Why not join us with whatever craft project you want to share. The afternoon should be fun!!!
