Gail Trendler, Recording Secretary
Hello, my name is Gail Trendler and I am the Recording Secretary for
2016-17. I am a relatively new member to the Troy Newcomers; I
joined during the summer of 2014, when I retired from my 38 year
career at GM. While at GM, I worked at the Powertrain Warren Plant
in Supply Chain Management and at the Warren Tech Center as a
Program Manager in the Design Center. I currently enjoy sleeping in! I
also love to play golf, tennis, and ski in the winter. My husband, Ron,
and I have two daughters; one who got married last summer and one
who recently purchased her first house. That house is really keeping
me busy, but it is a labor of love! In addition to my Newcomer activi-
ties I volunteer one day a week as a literacy tutor. I have enjoyed all
of the lunches and other activities with the Newcomers and look for-
ward to meeting more of the lovely ladies in this club.
January
Birthdays
“Happy New Year” to all. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a
wonderful Holiday Season.
I have been a Newcomer for going on five years now. I am original-
ly from Kansas (and no I do not know Dorothy). We moved to
Michigan in 1975 and a couple of years later I became active in Ma-
comb County Newcomers. I was membership chair and historian
before taking time off with a growing active family. My children
consist of Brian, Aaron, and Kristy and all their children. (Can’t for-
get their children which can keep you busy too.)
Years later I was introduced to Troy Newcomers. I have made so
many great friends, served on the board, and enjoyed the club’s
activities. I enjoy Euchre, games night, excursions, and of course
our monthly luncheons. Our many activities are a great way to
meet all of our great members.
I am currently Business Luncheon Secretary. I collect money for
our monthly Business Luncheon Meetings and give the final count
to our 1st VP of Programs, Gina. This is a great way to socialize, en-
joy informative speakers, and have fun. See you there!
Pam Harvat, Business Luncheon Secretary Dorothy Fuller 1/1
We are playing this month on Thursday, January 12 at 9:15 am at the home of Linda Marx. Linda lives in Troy (see direc-tory for address). Please RSVP to her by Tuesday, Jan 10, at 248-528-2826 or email at: [email protected]. If you are not a regular hostess, let Linda know if you wish to bring a breakfast item for that morning. We are beginner friendly and always looking for new people, so invite a new friend or come on by.
A Big Thank You to Amy Strnad for hosting in December and all that brought food! Hope to see everyone for a fun day of coffee, food, fun and laughter, and of course " Some Euchre Playing", if we can fit it in!!!
Susan Holle, Secretary
The Tuesday Morning Bowling League ended the calendar year with a Holiday Potluck on our last day. We enjoyed a variety of delicious dishes prepared by the bowlers. We brought in wrapped gifts and each bowler got to choose one when they bowled their first strike. Lots of fun was had by all!
After the holidays, we resume bowling on Tuesday, January 3rd. Please note that January 3rd is Position Day which means there is no pre-bowling and no subs are allowed.
Interested in improving your bowling game? Troy Lanes currently offers free bowling practice time to their league members on Mondays from 1-2pm and Tuesday evenings from 8-9:30pm. Any questions, please contact Troy Lanes at 248-879-8700.
We are in need of bowling subs. We bowl on Tuesday mornings at 9:30am at Troy Lanes. If you are interested in being a sub, please contact Susan Holle at [email protected].
Sure, you’re extremely busy now, but after the new year, your calendar may be empty. Looking for an evening to relax and enjoy some good wine and conversation? January Wine Tasting will be held on Saturday, January 14th at 7:30 at the home Ann and Jim Britton. If you plan to attend, please contact Ann at 248-740-0511 or [email protected] by Thursday, January 12th. Please bring your own wine glass and an appetizer to share.
Cost will be $10 per wine drinker.
Hope to see you there!
Happy New Year, may 2017 bring much happiness and blessings to you and your loved ones!
If one of your resolutions was to get organized and preserve family memories for the future, then this is the activi-
ty you have been looking for!
We will be meeting this month at the Scrapbook Tree at 23 Mile and Van Dyke to work on our books. Our meeting
date will be Thursday, Jan 5 and the room is open for “free cropping” time between 11-7.
Drop in any time, stay as long as you like, bring your lunch or buy lunch from one of the nearby restaurants. The
store provides a die-cut machine and has a full range of supplies available for purchase if you need something.
Please contact me if you plan to join us, the owners need to know how many in our group are expected so they
can seat us in a section that will accommodate everyone.
In February we will be planning an evening session so if you have not yet hosted our group this year and have
room for at least 4-6 ladies to work on their books please let me know. The hostess can choose the meeting date
and provides minimal refreshments.
Mah Jongg
Jane Egermann, Activity Leader
If your December was too full to fit in a morning of mah jongg, you are in luck for the month of January! Okay, maybe
it isn’t so lucky that our first mah jongg play date is Friday the 13th, but you could still come out of that day a winner.
(Must be present to win!) That play date will be at 9:30 am at the home of Jane Egermann.
If you’re not a morning person or are very superstitious, consider coming on Friday, January 27 at 1 pm. Same fun
game, just no treats served.
If you’ve never played the game (or even heard of it), no worries! We enjoy teaching new people and the game is
fairly easy to learn.
Please contact Jane at [email protected] or 248-879-5512 if you plan to come or need directions.
