A teacher asked little Johnny if he knew the numbers 1 to 10 well.
“Yes! Of course! My pop taught me, even more than 10!”
“Good. What comes after three?”
“Four,” answered the boy.
“What comes after six?”
“Seven.”
“Very good,” said the teacher. “Your dad did a good job. Now, what comes after ten?”
“A jack!”

I wish all of you Happy Holidays: Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kwanzaa and Seasons Greetings (hopefully, I didn’t forget any greeting). Let’s do what we can this
holiday season to assist those who lost so much in the Camp fire and Malibu fire with our prayers and material offerings (which can also be given after the holiday season.)
The Monday after Thanksgiving, I went to Ace Hardware at Lark and Los Gatos Blvd. in Los Gatos; I was looking for the government-approved (N95) masks for ‘bad air’ days such as we recently experienced. Although I didn’t hold out much hope that they had any, I was told they had just received a new shipment. So I bought a few boxes for family use. My point is that the other hardware stores probably have new shipments as well and it might be a good idea to make your purchase before they run out again.
Look for some changes in the DISPATCH to protect personal privacy and increase reading ability.
At our Dec.18 general meeting, we will be honored with Liz Gibbons, a chapter member, administering the oath of office to our Board and Committee members for 2019. I want to again thank the chapter members who volunteered to take on assignments for the first time: Sharon and Paul Levine, Charlene Silva, Lily Hirota, Rosaleine Higgins, Leona Fails, Jeanne Ulrich, and Harry Kiesler.
YEAR-END CLEARANCE SALE. Everything on the table is .25 cents. Please come by and check it out. Thank you to all for your donations.
The December program will be an entertaining array of
music to enjoy, relax, and energize you to the hectic bustle
of the holiday season. Come and enjoy the music – Harpers
Hall makes its home in the San Francisco South Bay Area
and Central California Coast.
Their purpose is to promote
an appreciation of the folk harp, to cultivate its living
musical tradition, and to preserve the fun and magic of the
harp for members and for the general public. Their
members range from beginning harp players to
professional musicians. They hold monthly gatherings at
members’ homes or other locations during which they
conduct mini-workshops, practice repertoire, share music
with each other, and snack on treats that they bring to
share. In addition to these regular get-togethers, they
perform for festivals, host workshops and house concerts
featuring traveling harpists, and hold annual harp retreats.
