A Message from the President

T. Franklin Fiske

Hello Paint & Powder Members,

I hope this letter finds you well. Unbelievably, my term is almost half

over … but now the fun and the work REALLY begin. After the im-

pressive attendance at the Fall Outing, I am looking forward to a nice crowd at the Christ-

mas Party. I appreciate the support the Club is giving me, and I think this will be a success-

ful year.

Soon, we will receive new rosters, raffle tickets, and be asked to begin selling ads, tickets, and

sponsorships to our May Show. Rod has put together a splendid rundown of numbers for us

to perform, and we simply have to fill the parts. Should be exciting!

Doug Chambers, Carolyn Manning, Rod Clark and I have been figuring out the best way to

optimize the Scottish Rite facility. Our goal is good seats, good food, and good performances.

I trust everyone will enjoy their Holiday seasons. Above all, stay healthy and safe.

Have another,

Frank Fiske

The Chris Hergenroeder

Scholarship Fund

A large amount of Chris Hergenroeder's clothing was

taken to the Women's Clothing Exchange sale at

the Parkville American Legion Hall on October 15,

16, 17, 18. Thanks to Betsie Johnson, Francene

Siegel for putting together the clothes to go into the sale and volunteering for

floor duty along with Lila Hopkins we were able to get 75% of the value of the

clothes sold. We received a check for $193.09 from the Women's Clothing

Exchange. The money was sent to Buzz Warren to go into the Scholarship

fund. — John Hergenroeder

Assimilation

T he assimilation ceremo-

ny goes over the history

of the club and identifies

the many interesting

people that have been

members of the club since

1893. The ceremony is capped

off by giving each new member

the Club's pin.

The assimilation ceremony was

conducted by John Hergenroed-

er and Bill Rose at the Fall Out-

ing on October 10h.

Christmas Caroling

T he usual Christmas caroling we do

at Roland View Towers is not going

to take place this year, after 50(?)

years. Instead we are singing at the

Westminster House on

Dec. 7th at 6:00 p.m.

Garland McPherson is pres.

of the board there & they

are needy seniors. We will

be singing on the 18th floor!

Sounds like fun, so I hope all singers can join

us. The facility is close to the Peabody. — Bernie Cook

W e will also be singing Christ-mas songs Dec. 11, 5-9 at

the Green Turtle at

Hunt Valley. This is a

fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club and the Kamryn Lambert Foundation. Toys will be collected for both charities. Jonathan Ogden and Adam Jones are sponsoring this event. Time we will be singing will be an-nounced later. Hopefully lots of good press. If interested in singing call Rod.

The P&P Playbill is a quarterly publication

for the exclusive readership of Paint &

Powder Club members. Members are

Interested in a Timeshare?

G eri and I have a timeshare at the Church Street

Inn in Charleston SC. We've booked the week

of July 2-7, 2016 and will offer that to those of

you who would like to take advantage of a ter-

rific week. There will be great events in Downtown

Charleston that week during 4th of July celebrations. We

have a 1-BR (Kingsize bed), 2 Bath condo with beautiful amenities includ-

ing a gorgeous eat-in kitchen. The building is 1/2 block from the Old

Central Market. What a great time awaits you in Charleston, the site of

the 1st battle of the Civil War (Ft Sumpter tours available). The rental

fee we will ask for will be well below what the regular room fee is for

that week ($300+ per night). For a link to the Church Street Inn with

plenty of photos, click here. — Mark Schlenoff

ALMONER’S REPORT Trisha Webster

Marion Drach's sister, Jane passed away on October 8th

after suffering a stroke. Marion and Jane were very close.

Harry and Doris Silverwood’s son, Scott suffered a

grand mal seizure on October 12th while in the car with

his wife near White Marsh. The ambulance took him to Franklin Square

Hospital where he was stabilized and kept overnight. The scans and tests

showed that he had a large meningioma tumor on the brain. After consulting

with a friend who is a doctor at JHH, he elected to have his surgery at

Hopkins. On Wednesday he went into the operating room around noon, and

the surgery was finally finished and he moved into the intensive recovery area

around 7:30 that evening. Although the operation was lengthy, all went well,

and he appears to have no negative after-effects. He was discharged and got

home Friday afternoon.

Rehab will take some time – he hopes to get back to work in about eight

weeks, but won’t be able to drive until January.

Harry and Doris deeply appreciate everyone’s concerns, prayers and support.

Deb Hussey's very dear friend Michael passed away. This has been a

very difficult time for Deb. Drop her a note or give her a call. Deborah L.

Hussey, 174 Dumbarton Rd., Baltimore, MD 21212. 410.494.1920.
