Double Talk

By Janet & Susan Solof
Summertime is in full blast,
School times are in the past.
Just loads of fun for one and ll,
And getting ready for next fall.
The Kona Kai Club was taken over by the younger set for the purpose of celebrating David Gordon’s 7th birthday. Taking it over were Mark Solomon, Barbi Addleson, Allan Breitbard, Jeffrey Hollander, Vickie and Terri Marsh, David Cohen, Steve Horrow, Richie Selton, John Ruden, Susan Kahn, Jim Krause. Lunch and swimming made the party perfect. David agrees birthdays are wonderful. Happy birthday.
Julian Frank ‘n Linda Douglas, Bernie Sosna ‘n Beverly Kitaen, Shearn Plann ‘n Lois Liff, Burt Sharpe ‘n Lucy Recht, Don Byrnes ‘n Jane Cohn, Don Kobernick ‘n Faggie Krasner, Joe Winicki ‘n Natalie Veitzer, were trying hard to keep the surprise of Herb Wenig’s party a secret. It was given by and at the home of Sharlene Stone. Happy Birthday, Herb.
A “schmaltzy” party can best describe the fun everyone had at Paul Levine’s 8th birthday party. A large group of Paul’s friends helped make the celebration complete with many games, ice cream cake and favors. This was the “moistest” part which is really the “bestest.”
Susie Hutler and Sandy Byrock were the hostesses at a terrific bar-b-que and dancing party. Everyone in the gang was there and everyone said “fun was floating around.” A wonderful time was had by all.
Handing out a good time to all her friends was Roslind Steffel when she gave a craz-zy party. All the kids joined in and had loads of fun.
Adrienne and Elliott Polland from Gary, Indiana, were entertained by their cousin Zena Fuerzieg at a get-together. Those who rated it tops were Roger Brenes, Janice Klaskin, Gary Naiman, Susan Solof, David Levens, Shirley Kaufman, Sheldon Golden, Janet Solof, Gary Cantor and Zena. Adrienne and Elliott agree that San Diego is a pretty terrific city.

At the last regular meeting Dr. Milton Millman was unanimously elected to the post of second vice president. Marshall Zucker announces the fall drive for new members is now under way. One of the prizes being offered to a lucky winner who brings in new members will be a free trip to Las Vegas. This is certainly something worth working for.
At the next meeting there will be the presentation of the Americanism Award to Millie Berman who recently figured in the San Diego hearings on Communism. There will also be a report of the progress made at the convention in San Francisco.
