In the next few weeks the plan is to take space in this column to aquaint you with council mem bers. Of the 16 members, Carolyn Shuee, Harold Garriott and Ray Mizer became members most recently. Although most of you will know these people because they are so active in our community, the staff would like to publicly thank them for their contribution to the RSVP. CAROLYN JOINED THE council in August 1984, and although she had never been involved with the Breakfast With Santa, she took hold and ran with it. Among other things she made the arrangements for the breakfast itself. This included procuring the food needed, the amounts needed and also the donations given. Ray Mizer, retired English professor, has been a great addition to the advisory council. He brought along his expertise in literature and composition. This will be very evident in the current RSVP newsletter. He has shown a great interest in the program and its operation. The staff is happy that Ray made another contribution by suggesting that his friend and neighbor, Harold Garriott, be invited to become a council member. Also a retired English professor at DePauw, Harold is interested in making a contribution to the community. Ray convinced him that a good place to begin would be with the RSVP-in-Putnam County. *** Everyone likes pleasant surprises from time to time, especially during these long winter months. The RSVP is planning such a surprise for its volunteers and their guests on Feb. 22. Keep that date clear and expect more information about this in the near future. *** SENIOR ACTIVITY SCHEDULE Tuesday, Feb. 12-9 a.m., BannerGraphic project; 9:30 a.m,, quilting; 11:30 a.m., lunch; 1 p.m., Banner-Graphic project.
