A program featuring these stories and other surprises is in the works for all to enjoy. EACH CLUB member may bring a guest to this Christmas luncheon. Members will be called to make reservations. Interested person should respond to this in- vitation by calling Jacy Daggett, chair of the luncheon, at 432- 9277. It was a record breaker! Com- munity club hosts Mike and Linda Benson and Jim and Ruth Irish welcomed an overflow crowd of at least 110 guests to Thanksgiving Day dinner at the hall. Most had made prior reservations to attend and brought potluck side dishes to a get-together sponsored by the community club, an organization that supplied the roast turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and stuff- ing. Those preparing for the feast set 110 places at the dining tables but the overflowing gathering found a number of happy eaters seated on the sidelines with plates on their knees. The proof of the matter is in the eating. One hundred pounds of turkey, donated by Wal-Mart, and mounds of assorted rolls, sliced breads and pies donated by the Olympic Bakery were consumed. A good mix of potluck dishes were brought to make the festive board groan and only one complaint was heard. "Where are the green ol- ives?" As a special treat, Emilee Link serenaded diners with several melodies on her cello. She is a friend of Ed and Pare Wood, who donated five door prizes. Lucky winners went home with either a tub of holiday butter cookies or a holiday molded baking pan and cookie mix. THE IRISHES and the Bensons are thankful for the volunteers who helped make the Thanksgiv- ing dinner a success. Arlen Mor- ris, Tim McGregor and Barbara LaJune set the table and provided seasonal decorations. The help- ful kitchen crew included Willa Smith and her daughter, Tom and Janet Irish, Bill and Marlene Hol- man, Colleen Arthur and Eleanor Pranger's grandson Chris. Today is November 29. The question for today concerns Bill Gates, a Washingtonian who at age 52 is chairman and chief soft- ware architect of Microsoft Corpo- ration and ranked as among the wealthiest people in the world. What did he do 32 years ago? On November 29, 1975 the young man from Seattle was 20 years old grown so large that the organiza- tion has had to move its annual Christmas banquet to the com- munity hall on Friday, December 7.

The club is not planning any travels during the winter months. They have dine-out adventures scheduled for January and Febru- ary and will celebrate the coming of spring early in March with a wine appreciation weekend in Or- egon. FOR A BRIGHT spot on your holiday calendar, remember to at- tend one of the two concerts that will be resented by the Harstine Community Chorus. You will be rewarded by excellent music cel- ebrating the Christmas season on Saturday, December 8, at 7 p.m. or on Sunday, December 9, at 3 p.m. at the community hall. There is only one senior lunch scheduled for next month and that will be on Wednesday, December 5, at noon in the community hall. However, there will be a Christ- mas dinner at Damon's Diner in the hall and there will be three se- nior lunches in January. A few key words, from the menu for the December lunch, resonate and those words are "stew" and "angel biscuits." when you say "stew" you're talk- cooking pot.
