O
h, what a night we had on December 6, 2014! Our annual
Christmas Dinner Dance was held at the Towson Golf and
Country Club which was beautifully decorated for the holidays.
And speaking of beautiful, the ladies (and gentlemen) were glam-
orous in their festive attire from sparkling reds to dramatic blacks. (Did I see
the godfather in attendance?) Carolyn Manning, the chair of the event and her
helper, Sandy Stellman did an excellent job with greeting everyone and making
sure our members and guests were having a good time. Thanks to Ellen Hillis,
the members received their new rosters and raffle tickets (thanks, Frank Fiske,
for getting these printed in a timely manner). Oh, yes, and the obligatory 12 Days of Christmas
was sung. Reminder to Table 5, there will be a surcharge of $5 per person to sit at your special
location next year!
On Monday night, December 8, 2014, some members of the Men’s Chorus, along with six female
vocalists, sang at Roland View Towers. A most appreciative audience joined in singing with us and
even Santa made an appearance. The true meaning of Christmas was apparent when everyone
joined hands and sang “Silent Night.”
Our mid-winter meeting was held on January 14, 2015 at the L’Hirondelle Country Club in Rux-
ton. Thank you, Honor Branch, for sponsoring us, and thanks to Chris and John Hergenroeder
for selecting the menu, which was appealing and delicious. We had a record number of Past-
Presidents in attendance who were among the most rowdy, especially during the meeting. We
sang Happy Birthday to two of our favorite members who celebrated 90+ years of birthdays, Dan
Brooks and Al Long.
Our Charity Fundraiser, A Concert Cabaret, was a huge success. We had many members attend-
ing as well as guests from outside the Paint and Powder Community. Representatives from our
two charities, Maryland Conservatory of Music and The Children’s Playhouse of Maryland, were in
attendance as well. Many thanks to Duke, Bernie, and Dale for giving us a beautiful musical evening.
Thanks, also, to Bernie for transforming her home into a Cabaret setting with seating for 40+. It
was a magical night!
We wish all our traveling snowbirds a safe trip South, and we’ll
look forward to seeing you in March, suntanned, rested and
ready for the President’s Ball and “Judge Judy, the Musical” au-
ditions.

From the Desk of John Hergenroeder...
T
he Paint & Powder Club held its annual Mid-
winter meeting on January 14, 2015 at the
L'Hirondelle Club in Ruxton MD. The affair
was attended by 47 club members. The cock-
tail hour, held in the Lake Roland Room, was followed by
a buffet in the Great Room. The food was tasty and plen-
tiful and the staff was very attentive. This is the first offi-
cial Club meeting held at L'Hirondelle in the last seven-
teen or eighteen years.
A meeting was held with reports submitted on the club's
financial status, membership, fundraising efforts, show
book ad blanks were given out by Frank (Frank has done
the show book for the last 40 years and he has been in 39
shows) and Bernie gave a brief description of the show
planned for next May.
Chris Hergenroeder gave an update on the Paint and
Powder Performing Arts Award. We have two very tal-
ented young people that we interviewed several weeks
ago who have been invited to be in the show this
year. Emma is a singer and Brady
sings and dances. To be eligible for
the award the contestants must
perform in the show. There will be
two awards given out on the final
night of the show. Each contestant will receive up to
$1,000 each depending on their level of perfor-
mance. Money for the awards will not come from the
club's funds or from the Charity Fund. We have received
pledges of $1,500 towards the $2,000 as of this writ-
ing. The awards program was approved at the September
Board meeting. It is hoped that the awards will attract
young talented people to the club along with increased
ticket sales and publicity. We need an additional $500 for
the awards fund. If you are interested contact Chris Her-
genroeder at 410-823-7355.
The evening ended with a number of jokes recited by Jer-
ry Chiat. Mickey Webster started the tradition of ending
all meetings with jokes many years ago and Mickey is a
hard act to follow!
