Cousin Club Fun Week 2008

Members of the Cousin Club,

You are invited to the tenth annual Cousin Club Fun Week, to be held August 4-9, 2008 at Jim and Carolyn's house!

We know that many of you have other activities scheduled for this busy time of the summer, and so we ask you to let us know which days you can be with us so that we can effectively plan our activities. We would also like to know what people would like to do while they're in Girard, so please submit the online response form below no later than Tuesday, July 15, 2008.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call Carolyn or leave a comment here. We hope to see all of you there!

New Honorary!

Jesse's Floridian friend, David Eric Escobar, was inducted as an honorary member of the Cousin Club in an informal ceremony on Saturday, December 29, 2007. We should have a picture here, but alas, we don't.

David was given honorary status by a 9-0 vote of the membership (with 2 abstentions) at the annual Christmas gathering, and becomes the 14th member of the club. He was given Ł 1,341 as a welcome gift, and shall be referred to as "David E." within the new CC Bank online system. (The other David will now be "David P.")

Inducted at the age of 17 years, 128 days, he is the fifth oldest member of the club.

Now that we've decided on a ceremony (and there really wasn't much to decide), we can induct Craig at our earliest convenience. Too bad that might not be for a while.

Give Thanks!

It's November, and the last of our twelve monthly template designs is now up. Thanks again to all those who helped out in the Icon Contests!

November also means that Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away. Post your plans for the holiday weekend here!

And of course, the bank has shelled out interest for October... enjoy your earnings.

Spooky

The Cousin Club blog is a little bit spookier for its October theme. Bank totals and birthdays have been updated. Enjoy.

Induction Clarification

Technically speaking, Craig Lawrie's honorary membership status was confirmed, but he has not yet been officially inducted. That's what the ceremony is for.

Right now, the only real things (minor in my opinion) differentiating him from regular members are:

  1. He doesn't yet have a vote at official meetings. Such official votes, though, generally don't include deciding on activities, so he can still have input on that.
  2. He doesn't yet have a CC Bank account or a balance thereof.
  3. His birthday is not yet set to be recognized in the monthly birthdays list.
He will receive all of these rights after his formal induction, which, personally, I'd like to have done in December. We'll have to use our November meeting(s) to plan the event. If we don't get our acts together, we might have to wait until March or May 2008, and that's no good for anybody.

Sorry for any confusion about Craig's status, but we all know he's as good as in!

Induction

As many of the members are already aware, we have a knew member to the Cousin Club. Craig Ian Lawrie was inducted into the Cousin Club, as an honorary member. He was inducted on August 4th by a unanimous vote of all those present.

We are very pleased to have Craig as an honorary member of our club. An official ceremony may be held at the closest possible convenience. Until then...Congratulations Craig!


PS. I'm sure that Tim will see this post and consequently have more to say on the subject. But, alas, I tried!

September

I just got back from a Pitt Trumpet party and figured that since I was awake, I could take the necessary ten minutes to do the monthly update to this website, which is now complete.

You know the drill... you know what's changed. Enjoy.

Congratulations to Marilyn for her Hole in One on the 11th hole, and to Jim for winning!

P.S.: I'm not ashamed of my poor scores. I never claimed to be great.
