writing to this space. But

know I thank you all for

making my year of Presi-

dent so wonderfully fun

and gentle. All your con-

tributing hands, thoughts

and suggestions have

been truthfully appreciat-

ed. Thank you for mak-

ing the WCSB such a

huge success as well as

a truly delightful club to

belong.

Have an enjoyable and

safe summer.

It’s been such a wonderful

experience being President of

the Woman’s Club of Seal

Beach this year. And the rea-

son this year has been so

exceptional is you, the mem-

bers. The passion, energy

and time you have given this

year to accomplish our goals

is amazing. You’ve worked

and played hard as well as

shared the joys and success-

es of jobs well done.

To know this, one only needs

to look closely at the success

of our Tea and Fashion

Show. So much planning,

beginning with Barbara

Wright’s incredible job and

continuing with all our mem-

bers’ dedication to putting on

such a successful event is

awe inspiring. Then for all

our members and guests to

reap the joys of your job well

done at the tea was so reward-

ing.

Also, every month, because of

Marilyn Bittle’s lunch arrange-

ments, we have such a festive

surprise when we walk into the

Senior Center for our General

Meetings. This month Patty Big-

gerstaff and her committee did a

truly star-studded job of treating

us to red, white and blue dis-

plays for Memorial Day. Truly

beautiful!

The McGaugh blue-ribbon poet-

ry writers were top-notch, as

always. Thank you Karen Rus-

sell for arranging our program of

poets for us again.

One could write for hours of all

the projects that are being quiet-

ly contributed by each member.

And I wish I could. But Libby

Appelgate, our incredible editor,

informs me I must confine my

Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

It was a beautiful, breezy, yellow-and-green afternoon." This is

how Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she fell in

love with Red that day in July 1959. The Whitshanks are one

of those families that radiate togetherness: an indefinable, en-

viable kind of specialness. But they are also like all families, in

that the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the pic-

ture. Abby and Red and their four grown children have accu-

mulated not only tender moments, laughter, and celebrations,

but also jealousies, disappointments, and carefully guarded

secrets. from Red's father and mother, newly-arrived in

I am employed now for the last two days and

My name is Michelle L. and I was in need of

rental assistance for one month. I was in a dire

situation and unable to pay all my rent for the

month of April 2016. I lost my job in February of

2016 and was unable to obtain work until March

25, 2016. My husband is disabled and does

receive $1,146 a month for social security and I

was paying the balance of the rent out of my

pay. Since I was not working I was unable to

save all my rent due in April. I recently obtained
