Friday, May 25th is Tink Appreciation Day.

See the brochure for a complete list of activities. But, be sure to join
us in the main ballroom at 9:30-am for the kick-off. Three Pavilion
staff members will each make a short (>2 min) appreciation speech. Then
the floor will be open to members who wish to share. Then we will all
stand up and 'Clap for Tink'. Then we will move to the restaurant for
complimentary coffee and pastries.

Gift Shop News:
Currently we have no specials. So we believe this is a good time to
remind you of our guarantee. At your Gift Shop, our guarantee to you is
that all our merchandise looks real.

Restaurant News:
Starting June 1st, any member who appears for breakfast in PJs will be
denied service. What are you people thinking??

New College Credit Course:
SH101 Elementary Showering (3 credits)

In this course you will learn the basics of taking a shower. Topics
covered include:
1) Soap Bar vs Liquid
2) Washing Top down vs Bottom up
3) Scrubbing Washcloth vs Hands
4) Drying Towel vs Air dry

You must be 18 years old or older to access class videos.
This course satisfies the prerequisite for PE 101
Tuition includes one practice shower and a graded final exam shower.

Book Club News:
We will award a gift certificate good for one desert in your restaurant
to the first person who can identify the book the following passage is
taken from. Remember all our books are available free of charge on the
internet. No fair using google or other search. BTW Your Iron Chef
recommends the Peach Melba.

The 'offensive beginning' referred to is a description of the plague
(black death).

quote:

"Gracious Ladies, so often as I consider with my selfe, and observe
respectively, how naturally you are enclined to compassion; as many
times doe I acknowledge, that this present worke of mine, will (in your
judgement) appeare to have but a harsh and offensive beginning, in
regard of the mournfull remembrance it beareth at the verie entrance of
the last Pestilentiall mortality, universally hurtfull to all that
beheld it, or otherwise came to knowledge of it. But for all that, I
desire it may not be so dreadfull to you, to hinder your further
proceeding in reading, as if none were to looke thereon, but with sighes
and teares. For, I could rather wish, that so fearefull a beginning,
should seeme but as an high and steepy hil appeares to them, that
attempt to travell farre on foote, and ascending the same with some
difficulty, come afterward to walk upon a goodly even plaine, which
causeth the more contentment in them, because the attayning thereto was
hard and painfull. For even as pleasures are cut off by griefe and
anguish; so sorrowes cease by joyes most sweete and happie arriving."

Did you mean "< 2 min. 'cause that would be my definition of short.

Is this class offered as a gift certificate? I know people who would
benefit from it.

i believe this was already clarified, but really, anything over a minute,
when we have three speakers, will be too long.

Mmmmm....complimentary!

Maybe the issue is the definition of pajamas.

I would like to register to audit the class. But I would also like to see
a class roster before deciding on which session to audit. ;-)
OK, wow, I thought I knew what that was from, so I cheated and Googled it
and no, it's not what I remembered, but the book seems interesting anyhow.

OK, I won't say too much now incase someone else wants to try to
identify it. However, I will say that there are two old books which are
really a collection of short stories. The stories being told by
individuals who are staying in a group. This is the lesser known and
slightly older book.

So now it's a challenge, eh? Just a guess--Bocaccio's Decameron? Going from older, etc.

Correct! I expected some to guess Canterbury Tales. Don't forget your
free desert.

One of my favorite stories in the Decamaeron is the one about the worst
man in the world who ends up (after death) being worshiped as a saint.
