Although Alfred Lord Tennyson published this seasonal poem in 1850, much of it is relevant still today. His poetry inspires even as it chides with lessons we can surely take to heart. Selected excerpts from “Ring Out, Wild Bells”: “Ring out the old, ring in the new, / Ring, happy bells, across the snow: / The year is going, let him go; / Ring out the false, ring in the true… Ring out the grief that saps the mind / For those that here we see no more; / Ring out the feud of rich and poor, / Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out a slowly dying cause, / And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, / With sweeter manners, purer laws… Ring out false pride in place and blood, / The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, / Ring in the common love of good…” Join us.

SCOV Charity Works would like to thank everyone who shopped at the Accessories Boutique, donated items and volunteered their time on October 30. It was very successful because of all of you. The proceeds will benefit Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse in Tucson, providing support and transitional housing to women and children in crisis. They help educate the community by providing presentations on domestic abuse, as well as counseling to child survivors. Emerge! remains in need of items. View wish list on their website. www.emergecenter.org. $20 gift cards are helpful, e.g., Visa/Mastercard, Walmart, Target, Fry’s. We also support IMPACT of Southern Arizona by collecting food at each meeting. In December, we will participate in the Emerge Holiday House. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, December 14, 10:30 AM, WC3. Note change of time. There will be a potluck salad luncheon after the meeting.

This club provides an enjoyable social evening getting to know some of your SCOV neighbors who enjoy cooking and eating interesting food. Our monthly (December-March) themed dinners in individual members’ homes provide relaxing fun as we explore various cuisines (e.g., French) or get creative with more ambiguous themes (e.g., food in songs). Since everyone brings part of the meal, it’s not a huge effort for the hosts. We also have several catered/restaurant events each year. Our “Giving Thanks” kickoff dinner on November 5 featured scrumptious food catered by The Views Restaurant (see photo). Please visit our website to see photos and details. And, contact a club officer for more information if you’d like to join the club. Note: Proof of Covid vaccination is required to attend club activities.
