The Holiday GALA is fast approaching – Tuesday the 19th of December. Please gather the folks you want to sit with and send (or hand) your check ($31 each for you and a guest) to John Knox (982 Bougainvillea St, SLO, 93401) to reserve a table. It is the Capstone Lunch of the year and features entertainment – Johns Jazz musical group with a vocalist. The group was selected by a special committee.
A reminder to stimulate creativity: the Haiku Contest. These rules apply to writing haiku:
- There are no more than 17 syllables.
- Haiku is composed of only 3 lines.
- Typically, every first line of Haiku has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third has 5 syllables.
Submit your composition to Brad P: thegpsbrad@gmail.com. Winner to be announced at the GALA. The prize: a fine screw-top bottle of central coast white wine!
