As a friend, to next to and laugh with, I am devastated! However, I am happy for him and his future activities. In addition to continuing in real estate, he is also beginning to plan some fun trips.

In April I am joined by a dozen family and friends joining to visit two of my favorite Jamaican properties I used to oversee so long ago. Few night at Strawberry Hill high up in the blue coffee country above Kingston. Both these properties are beyond extraordinary having been owned and carefully orchestrated by my old boss, Chris Blackwell, of Bob Marley and Island Music fame. Take a moment to google both these properties and you will get a glimpse of their breathtaking locations and unsurpassed uniqueness.

Fred Kleinschmidt, our past branch president, regional officer, auction coordinator, sometime bartender, and just about every other volunteer position, is a knowledgeable source of information and an all-around great speaker! The ESU celebrates English as a shared language to foster global understanding and good will by providing educational and cultural opportunities for students, educators, and members.

Eli, as most you know, suffered a severe back injury and yet she remains the gracious hostess for so many of our functions. A big thank you for Susan Wilson who prepared the quiche, fruit salad and baked ham. Many thanks to Bill Maschmeier for the zillions of curried sandwiches and to Jerry and Sarah Rockhold for carving ham, baking tons of tiny muffins and helping with the ever present cleanup.

Sarah is the best sous chef that ever existed. She is the greatest at moving folks from the kitchen when cleanup is underway! I was happy to spend time with our new members Karen Lee and Donald Moore.

By the way, our new Membership Development Committee is trying to write new member name tags in red so that you can see without reading glasses who they are. Plan to spend some time with our new members. We have added a few- but we can always use more!! July found many of us at the home of Eli Kirkpatrick. We had a few sprinkles but promptly at 5 o'clock the sun shone brightly.

Thanks to Jerry and Sarah Rockhold for holding down the beverage department. Cheers, too, go to Alison Ellison for all she does every month to make the monthly receptions go so well. Apparently, a Korean website, Washington Visiting Scholars, contains a blog with information about our English-in-Action program, including our location University Lutheran. Church and when we meet. This is how "Scarlett" her American nickname found us on Valentine's Day.

Our fearless leader, Marlene Holbrook, provided red roses and Valentine's Day treats, plus some spicy but very tasty Korean dishes. Part of our program that day was to go over interesting signs at a South African gas station that posts humorous or "food for thought" sayings every day. Some of these contain a pun or a joke, and the students gain insight into the workings of English. In addition to helping our students get more comfortable with their English, we're also helping them get acquainted with "life in the Puget Sound area," like how to use Sound Transit's Light Rail System.

Stop by at a session Tuesdays at 11 am and see for yourself? We need reception venues for October and November. Any volunteers? Please call or email Susan Wilson.

Our committee met last month for our first meeting of the year.
