President’s Message:
NEWS FLASH! Newcomers’ Club to hold its Christmas
Luncheon on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 at the Alta Cub.
That’s five years in a row. It occurs to me that the true
Newcomers’ among you might not know the history of this
Grande Olde Club. It was organized in 1883, mostly by the
mining magnates of the day. The existing building was constructed in 1898
and an East wing was added in 1910. The exterior and interior remain
essentially the same as they were when originally constructed. The Club
caught up with the rest of the world in 1987 when it repealed its ban on
women as members and did away with its “Ladies Entrance”. The Club
remains today as one of the most prestigious social clubs in the valley.
When you are there, take a look around.
Program wise, this year we go from the traditional to the unique. The
Glastonbury Duo, costumed in period dress and playing handcrafted in-
struments along with the classical guitar, will entertain us with Celtic, Tu-
dor England and Renaissance Europe and traditional music with a Christ-
mas flavor. The Glastonbury Duo appeared locally this year at the Utah
Renaissance Faire at Thanksgiving Point and for the Murray City Cultural
Arts Program at Murray City Park. See P. 2 for details.
Don’t forget our Holiday Donation Drive which will benefit the Wom-
en’s Shelter at the YWCA. You may bring your donations of women’s and
children’s clothing to the Christmas Luncheon. See the YWCA website
for their wishlist for particulars. Also, there is a need for clean blankets
(not necessarily new), twin or larger. We will collect your contributions
at street level so you don’t have to lug them upstairs. See P. 9 for details.
Finally, have you noticed the OASIS mastheads in recent months? They
are the work of our creative Newsletter Editor, Hank Merrill. September
was based upon the first letter of several college football teams’ logos.
Can you identify the teams? If so, let Hank know. October’s was various
Halloween icons and November featured a giant turkey as the “O”. Have-
n’t seen December’s yet, but am willing to bet it has a Christmas motif.

Happy Holidays to all! Join the fun at the Alta Club on
December 9 when Carol and David Sharp, otherwise
known as the Glastonbury Duo, perform for us at our
December luncheon. Their blend of Celtic, Renais-
sance, and Old English music played on hand carved
instruments along with songs and stories is sure to get
us all in the Christmas Spirit! Carol and David have pre-
pared a special Christmas program just for us!
And....they have a unicorn!
The holidays are really HERE!! We've got a return visit to the Alta
Club for our fifth holiday luncheon. The Club will be decorated,
welcome us back, and extend their greetings to all for the best holi-
days ever. Don't forget to bring your donations for the holidays,
and leave downstairs on your way upstairs for a festive and fantastic
luncheon. We'll pack your donations, and deliver 'on the way home'
from our event. After all, the elves already have more than enough
to do on Christmas Eve! No time to shop and wrap?? Then you
may wish to write a check. Thank you all for extending your caring
spirit and generosity to others!

MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY UPDATES
MEMBER NEWS Jo Ann Horgan is recuperating at home after being in the hospital and Sandy rehab center. Your cards and visits
mean so much and JoAnn says, “Thanks for such great support from such great friends.”
Becky Bock had foot repair surgery on Oct. 17 which went well and is now having a well-deserved rest at home
for the next few weeks. I’m sure a card or two will brighten her recuperating period.
Nancy Ramsdell fell in her home and suffered a compression fracture of her vertebrae. She will be recuperating
in Spring Creek Rehabilitation Center on Highland Drive and would welcome calls, cards and visits. She can be
reached on her cell phone 801-365-1314. Nancy, ski season is coming soon so do all those awful exercises the phys-
ical therapists prescribe.
Jack McGuirk had a knee replacement on Wednesday Oct 29, and is now in the healing stage. Please, no visitors at this time. Jack will welcome visitors when he returns home.
