September is always a month of new beginnings. The kids are back in school to begin a new year with all new enthusiasm. The many Tri-V teachers are also excited to begin a new year. We begin to see changes in the weather and the leaves as we look forward to all the fun fall activities Michigan has to offer like apple picking, football games and shoveling snow.
August was a busy month for the club. The golf league wrapped up with Mike Trachsel winning the league, much to no one’s surprise. The men then traveled to Oscodo to celebrate a successful golf season. It was a fun weekend (mostly because I golfed well enough to win some money). We also had the annual steak roast held at Rotary Park in Livonia.
This week we will have our Anniversay Dinner at Denise’s in Wixom. We will also be stating our bowling league and our monthly meetings. Please try to be at every meeting possible as we discuss many important topics and are always seeking input from club members. This Tuesday’s meeting will be at Drakshire lanes. We will try to start close to 6 as the September agenda is always very lengthy. Hope to see you there.
With September being the month we celebrate Grandparents Day we wend this of our Grandmas in Tri-V. Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. The child asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God replied, “Among the angels, I’ll choose one for you. Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.” The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.” God Said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel the angel’s love and be very happy.” Again the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?” God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words that you will ever hear, and with much patience and care your angel will teach you how to speak.” I’ve heard that on Earth there are bad people. Who will protect me? “God said, “Your angel will defend you even it means risking its life.” At the moment there was much peace in heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now please tell me my angel’s name.” God replied, “Her name is not important. You will simply call her “GRANDMA.”
Tri V dues are due beginning September 1st and are required to be paid by October 1st of each year. The dues are the same again this year at $70.00 for active and $35.00 for inactive. Help save the club the cost of postage by paying before a notice needs to be mailed to you.

MEMORIES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2008 TRI-V UMPH
September 2008 was one of the few months that there was good news in our newsletter. Karlyn and Tim Gies spent the Labor Day Weekend at the new home of Diane and Kern Plocharczyk. Judy Lardin spent time in TX watching the two grandchildren while son Larry was in the process of opening his restaurant in Corpus Christi along with the problems that Kim’s brother-in-law was going through. The Steak Roast was held on August 9 at Mettala Park, Wixom. There were 36 in attendance and the low turnout was blamed on the bad weather that was predicted. The Girls Weekend was an overnight trip on Aug. 15 in DeWitt attended by 12 of the ladies while Final Golf was the weekend of Aug. 16-18 in Kendallville, IN attended by 24 of the men.
MEMORIES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2013 TRI-V UMPH
The highlight of the September 2013 issue of TRI-V Umph was the birthday greeting to Art Trachsel on his 93rd birthday. The Tri-V golf season wrapped up the middle of August with Bill Trachsel winning A flight and Nick Angelosanto winning B flight. Final golf was held in Gaylord the middle of August with 27 golfers in attendance. The girls met on September 6 to celebrate Shirley Suchner’s birthday at Aubree’s in Northville. We also celebrated the super senior women of Tri-V—Marilyn Myers, Shirley Suchner, Onallee Trachsel, Dolores McMillan and Blondie Forsyth. The steak roast was held at Mettala Park in Wixom with 33 members in attendance. The rules were published for Tri-V pinochle that was scheduled to start the first Saturday in October. The girls weekend was scheduled for Sept. 24, 25 at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. John and Judy Lardin visited Judy’s uncle in Idaho; trip went well other than being hot. Of the four days they were there, the coolest high was 95 while the remaining three days 100 degrees with humidity. Judy and John started to make plans for a trip to Texas to celebrate granddaughter’s birthday. This wraps up another trip down memory lane. As you can see there was not much to report. It was a slow month. How many remember the blackout of 2003? Have you thought of sharing it with each other and other family members? How did you handle it? Perhaps your children might enjoy what happened. Speaking of the children, now that school has started and we see all the little ones, our kids, grandkids and neighbor kids making that trip to school for the first days, do you remember your first day at school or your own children’s first day? These are some of the memories we should share with our children and I am sure that many will not remember their days back or will not believe what you tell them. Write them down in a book and along with any pictures you might have and maybe include anything you remember about your grandchildren going. We all have stories that turn into memories. Don’t let them be lost. Until we see you in print next month, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.
THE LARDINS
Things are getting busy for Judy and John. John continues with his therapy through the end of September as well as his chemo every other week. Squeeze into that a couple of trips to Windsor Casino as well as planning a trip to Texas to celebrate granddaughter Christine’s birthday the first week of October for three or four days. Other than that we are doing nothing. John still has hopes of being ready to play golf this year before going to Florida the first of the year. John thanks all for their continued prayers, not only for him but all members of the TRI-V Family. Please continue with them as THEY DO WORK.
The Tri V regular 2018 golf season came to an end on August 13th with a playoff between Mike Trachsel, Dave Burke, Dale Horst, Jerry Whitefoot and Jay Trachsel. Mike came from behind on the last hole to overtake Dale by 2 strokes. Congratulations to Dave Burke for winning the second half and being the overall points leader for the year and Mike for winning the championship playoff.
