Membership Directory Update Appeal!!! 
John Festa is asking that all members review their membership directories and alert John as soon as possible to changes that should be made.
Ed: 
    Now that we know who our officers & board member are to be for the coming year, I would like to encourage our members to look over their specific directory sheet to see if upgrading is needed. I will be willing to take pictures where they are absent & make changes as directed.
    I would appreciate a wakeup blurb on the web page to that effect. My target date is September 10 so that all will be in good order for the start of our calendar year. John F

Please email John or myself if you feel your directory entry requires a change or update.  As a matter of fact, please keep this in mind at all times.  Any time there is a change in your life that might result in a directory change please let us know immediately.  
Thanks!

The Tone of Your Voice
It’s not so much what you say as the manner in which you say it.
It’s not so much the language you use as the tone in which you convey it.
“Come here!” I sharply said, and the child cowered and wept.
“Come here,” I said.  He looked and smiles and straight to my lap he crept.

Words may be mild and fair but the tone may pierce like a dart.
Words may be soft as the summer air but the tone may break my heart.
For words come from the mind, grow by study and art.
But tone leaps from inner self, revealing the state of the heart.

Whether you know it or not, whether you mean or care, gentleness, kindness, love and hate, envy, anger, are there.
Then, would you quarrels avoid and peace and love rejoice?
Keep anger not only out of your words, keep it out of your voice.
