A Sad Loss
The Club was saddened to learn of the death this week of one of the Clubs most valuable members – Someone Else.
Someone’s passing creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with the Club since the beginning. They did far more that a normal person’s share of the work. Whenever there was a job to do, a social function to attend, funds to be raised, or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone’s lips. ”Let Someone Else do it”.
It was common knowledge that Someone Else was among the largest contributors of their time to the Club; whenever there was a need for volunteers everyone just assumed that Someone Else would volunteer. Someone Else was a wonderful person – sometimes appearing super-human, but a person can only do so much. Were the truth known everybody expected too much of Someone Else.
Now Someone Else is gone!
We wonder what we’re going to do. Someone Eslie left a wonderful example to follow, but who is going to do the things Someone Else did?
When you are asked to help, remember – WE CAN’T DEPEND ON SOMEONE ELSE.
