With August now upon us, accompanied by all its heat and humidity, plan to stay cool at this month’s
social. Mark your calendars for August 18th and join your fellow CODA members at Jim and Jack’s on the River. It will be cool inside, and the “Oldies” music will be cool, too. Remember,
that “cool” music group, the CODA Band, will be performing live.
Tentative plans have been made for an autumn picnic. The
date is October 3rd. It will be held in Fernbank Park, the same venue as our last picnic. More information will be forthcoming just as soon as planning is complete.
So, please stay tuned.
Otis Williams and His Charms will give a live performance on Saturday night, October 9th. This show will be held at Jim
and Jack’s, and is sponsored in part by the Cincinnati Oldies and DooWop Association. Please plan
to attend and support your club. You will enjoy hearing such hit songs as “Hearts Made of Stone”,
“Gum Drop”, and “Ivory Tower” (plus many more). Additional information will be
provided in the weeks to come.
In closing, let me say that CODA belongs to the members. The Board of Directors does not operate in a secret
manner. Board meetings are held monthly in the evening, usually in Sharonville. ANY
CODA member may attend any and all Board meetings. If you would like to
do so, please contact any Board member or officer.
Rock on everybody.
Steve Gregoire
FROM
YOUR SECRETARY:
Just to let you know; during the month of September, Jim & Jack’s
will be showing appreciation to the CODA members. For every weekend show CODA members, during the month of September, will be admitted free of charge when producing their current membership
card at the door, and dinner specials will be offered at a discount price. They certainly have some great music and it goes
without saying the food is very good. So don’t miss this great opportunity to enjoy a night out. Many great things are
in the works for our members in the months to come, so now is a good time to bring in friends or that special someone.
Don’t forget that until the end of October every new person
you bring in gets you $5.00 off your own dues, up to $20.00, the next time yours are due, and they receive the same
benefits you do. (This person can be a past member if they have been absent from membership for 1 year or longer.) There will
be a drawing at our Holiday Dance in November just for these recruiters. Let us think positive and keep the momentum going
in a great direction.
Our next picnic is scheduled for Sunday, October 3, 2010, and it will be better than the last one, I
promise. Again, I apologize for all the mishaps. It is a beautiful setting and convenient. Hopefully the weather will be better
too. Don’t forget to bring your folding chairs, plenty of lawn seats. Hope to see you all there and bring your guests.
Thank you, Linda Smith, Secretary

ANNOUNCEMENT:
On August 29th there will be a benefit for Mary Jane Lewis at Morgan’s Roadhouse Tavern on Pedretti and Fehr Roads, in Delhi. Mary is the daughter of Wendy Englehardt,
one of the original “Teardrops”, and Mary just recently had surgery for breast cancer.
Her friends are getting this together to alleviate the stress and financial difficulties that comes with such an illness.
There will be a couple of bands, Wendy and Tinker of the “Teardrops” and possibly Dorothy (if her prior obligations
can be rescheduled) and there will be other vocalist from the gang. Price of admission will be $8.00 (lunch included) and raffles, split the pot, with all proceeds going to Mary. So if you would
like to attend, it starts at 1:30PM.
DOWN, BUT NOT OUT…
Donna Telinda continues to battle her illness and wanted to thank everyone for his or her prayers and concerns, and she is looking
forward to coming back.
Tom Miltin was feeling a little under the weather, so we need to watch him, he doesn’t
know when to slow down.
Kay Beard had knee surgery and is in rehab. (I think Ron twirled her one too many times.)
We hope everyone gets
well, and everyone could use a prayer. Get well soon!
Until Next Time…Take Care…
Linda Smith
Secretary
