SEPTEMBER PARTIES |
Paul Nowak has come to the rescue of all those of us who will be in Phoenix over the Labor Day Weekend. Yes! This will be a Soiree to remember, in Paul’s large, beautiful home with both pool and hot tub. Bring a couple of big towels along with your contribution to the Participatory Buffet and Bar. Your $2 owl contribution will ensure lots of soft drinks and all that paper and plastic stuff that make life simpler. Naturally, Paul’s personal friends outside of GPM won’t be expected to comply, but your friends will, unless, of course they are lapsed members. We reserve the $4 request for themThose of us who love Mensa and pay our dues regularly, whether or not we take advantage of all it has to offer, just to be sure that it continues forever, even for those who are as yet unborn, are offended by those who are so short sighted and self involved as to assume that this continuance is not their concern. My email address is leighb@ionet.net. Directions to Paul’s home: From Bell & 40th Street, drive north to Robert E. Lee, east to 45th Street and north to the 4th house on the left.
I misspoke in last months Party article, so please note the change in Salon hosts. Fortunately, Arleen and Hardy got to me in time to remind me that they had previously requested September 18th in order to indulge us with the last pool and hot tub party of the season at their equally large and beautiful home. Have we died and gone to heaven or what? All the above applies, except of course the directions. You might like to adopt my time saver for these. I keep an index card for directions to all those who I visit from time to time, but not often enough to remember precisely. It saves rewriting those directions sometimes. Arleen and Hardy’s home at 15814 N. 44th Street is opposite a street called Kathleen. This is important to everyone approaching from the south, because the number is written on the north side of their mailbox.
Our Salon calendar is wonderfully full for most of the rest of the millennium. There are just two openings during which you might like to preside. These are: December 4th and December 31st. If no one with a larger and more beautiful home than mine speaks up, that last party of this millennium and that same first party of the new millennium will be here at my house. The event is special to me because when I was a small child I figured out that I would have to live to an impossibly ancient age in order to live into the next millennium. Well, surprise, surprise. Not only have I all but attained that impossible age, but I am constantly reassured by friends that I am now just middle aged by today’s standards, and the mirror agrees with them, even if the numerals don’t. Hint: I’d rather go to YOUR house for that celebration. Call me at 264 9321. And what would YOU like to be doing during the turn of the NEXT century?
