Esther Loskowske found this tidbit to finish the newsletter.

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can resist complaining and boring other people with your troubles,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can overlook it when something goes wrong through no fault of yours and those you love take it out on you,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend’s limited education and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics,
Then my friend, you are almost as good as your dog.

The Birthday Dinner will be held at:

Hawthorne Valley Country Club
7300 Merriman Road
Westland, Michigan

Flyers regarding the entrées and prices were handed out at the March meeting and sent to those who were not in attendance. RSVP’s and checks should be mailed to Esther Loskowske by April 9^th. We hope to see you there to celebrate Gamma Alpha’s 20^th Birthday and to initiate three new members.
