President’s message:<br />
Well, here we are in <strong>February</strong> already.<br />
Let’s all welcome our newest member Priscilla DeLeon as she was voted<br />
in at the January meeting.<br />
There are several day runs in the planning stages for the coming<br />
months but please take any new ideas you might have to Gary our VP<br />
<strong>of</strong> Activities. Let’s get that calendar filled with as much fun as we can.<br />
I have started working on my President’s run which will be June 1st &<br />
2 nd so put that on your calendar. There will be a signup sheet at the<br />
next meeting. I know it’s a long way away, but there are reservations to<br />
lock in. Plan on two full days and one night for this event. I haven’t<br />
decided if it will be a complete mystery as we’ve done in the past, but<br />
you will know where you’re going on the day <strong>of</strong>.<br />
Be aware <strong>of</strong> the meeting change for <strong>February</strong> which is now the 26 th .<br />
Your President,<br />

TOM JARVIS<br />
Tom and his wife Marcie have been members <strong>of</strong> the CVC family since 2016. Due first to Marcie’s health and<br />
then Tom’s we have not seen much <strong>of</strong> then in the last few years.<br />
Tom passed away on December 28 th because <strong>of</strong> complicaons that arose aer he had open Heart surgery last<br />
year.<br />
Tom was a quiet, kind, so spoken man. He was devoted to caring for Marcie during connuing health issues.<br />
Tom and Marcie were married for 38 years.<br />
Tom was a very acve volunteer at the Seniors center in Old Town Clovis for may years. I am sure he will be<br />
greatly missed.<br />
Tom loved to cook and kept a fantasc garden in his backyard that produced an abundance <strong>of</strong> vegetables and<br />
berries. The CVC family will miss his presence.<br />

More from January meeng
SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS<br />
We had a lot <strong>of</strong> sunshine in our club last month. Laurie Dukes and Allen went on a<br />
cruise to Hawaii. Looking at the pictures on Facebook they were having a<br />
wonderful adventure. We welcomed two <strong>of</strong> our members to the January meeng<br />
that have been absent due to health issues. Skip was there with a smile on his<br />
face, and he said he felt much beer. That's great news, especially for Leigh Anne,<br />
and her enre family. We also welcomed Walt back aer a long absence. So good<br />
to see him and pray for his connued recovery. The Taco Bell wedding was a huge<br />
success. Jody and Jimmy wrote their vows and believe me there was not a dry eye<br />
in the room when they exchanged rings and promise their commitment to each<br />
other for the next 30 years. As usual they had the enre weekend planned<br />
thinking <strong>of</strong> their friend’s enjoyment. It was a weekend <strong>of</strong> special memories.<br />
