“Greetings from Gail”
When considering making N Y Resolutions I defer to the old
adage “later is better, and much later is best!”
I hope all of you have enjoyed the holiday season and that
you are ready for the start of 2013. Parker Newcomers has a
wonderful season set for our members. Read your Newsletter
and mark off the dates that you don’t want to miss, then call
the chair person so you will be included. If you are interested
in learning how to play Mah Jongg, I am trying to assemble a
learners group, so call if you are interested. Should you misplace your newsletter go to our website for a printable copy.
It is: www.parkernewcomersclub.com. Pictures from the
December luncheon will be included and you can copy them
if you desire.
Cook Books are still available and can be purchased at the
coffee or directly from me. They are still offered at the bargain price of $12.50 and that price will not be affected by the
Obama Tax Package.
Finally, wishing you all a Healthy, Happy and Joyous Year!

Larry Huber
Larry Huber, beloved husband of Ursula, died after
a long fight with cancer . We at Parker Newcomers
extend our support and sympathy to the family
and friends of Larry and Ursula. Our prayers go out to
you at this difficult time.
Compassion was a part of Larry’s final days. The
Denver Hospice was responsible for a large part of
this. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, please make a donation in Larry’s name to this wonderful organization.
A donation to Denver hospice will be made by PNC.
Carolyn Hedeen
Carolyn loved life, and was determined to beat cancer, courageous to the end and we morn her passing
on December 5, 2012. She was always that smiling,
optimistic gal with a twinkle in her eye; a friend to
everyone she met. You would often see her racing
down the street in her little blue convertible off to
something important. She loved being president of
PNC so she could share her wonderful ideas. A challenge would fill her head with ideas and she definitely
took command of the situation. She was an artist with
a flair for expressing life around her. We will all miss
this charming lady who called herself a “redneck from
Missouri”. She has given us many memories to treasure.
