If any members on our regular mailing list can be reached by e-mail, please let us know so we can save postage. It'll not only save the Club money, but you can get your newsletter much faster.
Annual Boat Parade
Heigh Ho Mouseketeers! I know we just finished with The Santa Claus, and a Snow White winter, but it’s almost time to Return to the Sea for our annual boat parade! Stop being a Sleeping Beauty and You Can Fly to the store for the Bare Necessities to make your boat look Fantasia. Don’t be a Chicken Little. You can get Daffy or Goofy with your décor. You can use a Minnie motor boat or a Giant Peach of a pontoon. Just don’t be a Dumbo and sit Home on the Range like a Dinosaur, or you’ll be saying “Oh Pooh, I missed my chance to be Fun and Fancy Free”. The Incredible Journey will be held on Saturday, July 1st @ 12:00 PM, and in case you haven’t caught on yet, the theme this year is Disney—Any Disney! Entry is free and there will be a number of prize categories, so come on out on July 1. There’s Never a Dull Moment—It’s a Whole New World! Any questions, call me.

Dianne Pigula
Approach everyone you meet as an individual with dignity and a life as complicated and mysterious as your own. Discard preconceptions and suspend, even for a moment, the idea that you “know this type”. Do these things and perhaps you might learn the most important lesson that love can teach us; that each person, is worthy of our love simply because they are human, and begin from there.
