People can be divided into three groups: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.

The Club owes Carol Roston a vote of thanks and gratitude for the long hours and work she contributed as Chairman of our booth at the Pet Show at Moscone Center. Her committee worked long hours at the Show, but it was a Big disappointment that so few members contributed time or birds for the affair. We had a nice display but it could have been much better with a little more cooperation and more birds from the members.

The following contributed time, labour and birds:
Carol & Jan Roston
Ruth & Glenn Mitchell
Reno Xerri
Gordon & Zoe Ann Janowsky
Erwin Klockemann
Nikkie McClatchie
Pat McMullan
Jim Coffman
Naomi Cisper

Ron Fournier took pictures of our booth area.
