Greetings from the Book Club!
Our June selection is “A Train to Moscow” by Elena Gorokhova. In post World War II Russia, a girl must reconcile a tragic past with her hope for the future in this powerful and poignant novel about family secrets, passion, and loss, perseverance and ambition.
The Book Club meets the 4th Friday of every month, in the Multi-Purpose Room at 2:00 pm. Please join us for enthusiastic discussions about our chosen books.
Until then, keep reading!

HILLTOPPER TEAM UPDATE
We have added a new member to the Hilltopper team. Please welcome Becky Hall. She will be taking over as Coordinator for the Distribution Team. Jansi Sauer has done an excellent job in that role for many years. There are 25 members of the Distribution team. Each month Jansi bundles the correct number of Hilltoppers and delivers the bundle to each of them. The team then delivers each Hilltopper to your mail tubes. We will try to find room in the near future to give a “shout out” to recognize their ongoing work. Jansi will remain on the team helping with the proofreading each month. Jansi will also work with Becky during a transition period.
Thank you, Jansi, for all your years of service.
Thank you, Becky, for joining the team.
PEW ART GALLERY NEWS
Our New Pavilion Show goes up Sat. 6-7 at 12:00
Artist’s, in advance please submit a description of your proposed pieces, sizes, subject, and medium, so we can preplan the exhibit. This will make it easier and more organized.
“Creating an Artistic Community at PEW” was Herlinda’s vision. Herlinda was a treasure to our art community, well-loved, and is greatly missed. Do we want receptions, social times to meet and share inspirations, or just a space to share our art? Please bring your ideas. Further info is being forwarded to artists to prepare.
Artists – We hang our new show on Sat., 6-7 from 12:00 to 1:00. Please bring your approved pieces, and together we will curate the exhibit. This is a group project. If you cannot be present, please arrange for someone to bring your art work. We are using the STAS Moulding Hook System with Perlon cords. Each piece needs a secure wire attached by d-rings. Ideas, questions. More information is being forwarded to artists. -or call Sharon Lubert, 909-519-8915.

QUOTES
Less ego, more wealth. Saving money is the gap between your ego and your income, and wealth is what you don't see. So wealth is created by suppressing what you could buy today in order to have more stuff or more options in the future.
Morgan Housel
More people can be greater leaders than they think they can, but they need a purpose greater than themselves.
William J. Clinton, 42nd president of the United States.
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Frequently attributed to Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United State
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "Press on," has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States, from a sign on his desk.
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States
Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.
Aubrey Drake Graham (Drake), Recording artist, songwriter
If Trivial Pursuit had been designed by economists, it would have had 100 questions and 3,000 answers.
Ronald Reagan
The Lighter Side
Rice Preference
The young woman really thought she'd been very patient through a protracted period of dating with no talk of marriage.
One night her steady boyfriend took her to a Chinese restaurant. As he perused the menu, he casually asked her, "So . . . how do you like your rice? Boiled? Steamed? Or fried?"
Without missing a beat, she looked over her menu at him and replied clearly, "Thrown."
Talking Clock
While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends late one night, one wag led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong.
"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked.
"Why, that's the talking clock," the man replied. "Watch", the man said, giving the gong an ear-shattering pound with a hammer.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "F'gosh sakes, you idiot, it's 2 a.m. in the morning!"
Apples
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."
