District 1 members had musical entertainment for their December holiday meeting. The Topeka Acappella Unlimited group sang several holiday barbershop songs.
Club members and guests gathered at the Topeka Public library at 12:30 P.M. on Saturday, December 18, for a holiday celebration of a successful year of Writing through Difficulties. It included a catered luncheon.
Present: Anne Spry, Wayne Spry, Ruth Maus, Thea Rademacher, Reaona Hemmingway, Glory Hemmingway, Barbara Waterman-Peters, Larry Peters, Max Dunavan, Pat Dunavan,Barbara Brady, Carol Yoho, Duane Johnson, Elvira Johnson, Fred Appelhanz and Tracy Million Simmons.
Anne Spry, President, opened the meeting. During our luncheon we were treated to a new District 1 Marketing video featuring Anne Spry, Ruth Maus, and Thea Rademacher. Take a look at the Flint Hills Publishing website to see it.
Entertainment was provided by 15 singers from the Topeka Acappella Unlimited Chorus with six selections of holiday music. Their sound is amazing. Thanks to this Sweet Adeline’s group!
We were treated to six door prizes donated by members, and the winners were Fred, Tracy, Duane, Barbara Waterman Peters, Barbara Brady, Elvira, and Carol. Everyone in physical attendance received a certificate for a bag of Cashmere popcorn.
We played a game called Memoir in a Jar where some were able to answer random questions drawn from a jar.
Tracy was asked to provide a recap of the year for KAC. She took the opportunity to thank Duane Johnson as past state president for his leadership through the Covid pandemic the past year. She believes that technologies will continue to improve and that KAC is poised to use them to continue improving. She added that this 104-year-old club has come even further in the past 15 years. Tracy reminds members to check the KAC and district newsletter weekly because there’s so much opportunity and so much happening. This is the way our state board keeps us informed. Also, please visit the web page in the next couple days to complete the survey they are currently running. Finally, the deadline for submissions to the state yearbook has been extended to December 31. PLEASE submit. Include your web address as authors or other information you want to share.
Next were readings by Ruth Maus, Anne Spry, Max Dunavan, Fred Applehanz, Duane Johnson, Barbara Brady, Carol Yoho, Reaona Hemmingway and short memoir stories by Tracy Million Simmons and Glory Hemmingway.
Old Business: While reports were not presented, one item of business was presented. District 1 members would like to proceed with a District 1 anthology. Barbara Waterman-Peters and Max Dunavan are on that committee and will prepare a report for the next meeting in January.
