I have taken over sending out postcards for the quarterly luncheon.
Anyone wishing to be notified by email, or to add, subtract, change, alter, mutilate, clone or whatever to the list contact me. It would be nice if people wanted to be notified by email to save the cost of postage and cards.
They can contact me at (440) 257-2359 or smabbey@oh.rr.com.
Thanks
Stu Abbey

Eleanor Clift book signing April 6
In March of 2005, Plain Dealer columnist Tom Brazaitis was at home in the final weeks of his battle with kidney cancer. At the same time, a brain-dead woman in Florida, Terry Schiavo, was making headlines in a very public battle over her life and death.
Tom's wife, Eleanor Clift, weaves their stories in "Two Weeks of Life," a book about death and dying and how America copes, or doesn't cope.
The Press Club is sponsoring a book signing at Night Town from 3-5 on Sunday, April 6.
Helen Moise is taking a headcount, so give her a call at 216-295-5618, preferably in the morning. (She says she is up at 5:30 but if you call then, you might catch her in the shower, so leave a message.)
Books will be available for sale.
