38 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2022 The Photography Club continues evaluating conditions for possible in-person meetings in light of the changing situation. We will let everyone know the schedule via email and the Four Seasons Daily Report. Join us at the Work Study Group meeting if you have input on in-person meetings. The club continues our twice-a-month Work Study Group via Zoom. The group meets via Zoom on the second and fourth Thursdays at 4 pm. Sessions cover planning future club activities and photo editing in Adobe Photoshop and related programs. Also, the club is addressing rescheduled events and planning our photo outings for the coming year at the Zoom meetings. In addition, if you have a photography question, you are always welcome to join us. Contact Jacque for meeting times and dates for the Work-Study Group. I want to thank everyone who sent in photos for this month. What a great selection of photos. In the coming months, we will see many more of these photos. This month's images display two different perspectives. One is a wide-angle shot, the other is a close-up. If you have not received our emails, contact Jacque at jacquesneddon@gmail.com. She will be happy to add you to the mailing list. ~ John Baeyertz, ohnbz1453@gmail.com Photography Club Writers' Club On April 7 at 4 pm in the RCN, we'll have "Evenings with the Author" featuring Jim Cloud, award-winning author and Four Seasons resident.

We will get by, we have funds set aside. So let us stay in our own home, please. We won't be a burden to you, Even our burials are prepaid. So please honor our desire to remain With the memories that we have made. This house fits us like an old shoe. We don't want to break in something new. How can we squeeze into a room or two? Could we bring the plum tree with the hummingbird nest? Would we see fireworks in the valley below? Or Orion and the Pleiades in the west? We would consider a place: Where the night sky has more stars Than there are freckles on Aunt Mary's face. Where the mountains stretch on their tiptoes To peer over the others' heads. Where a gurgling stream would Lullaby us to sleep in our beds. And where the wild creatures play Out the drama of their lives. Otherwise, we are here to stay! AT AUSCHWITZ Little Brother, do not cry. There is Mama. Wave goodbye. Stay here with me. Be still, do not move. Or they will shoot. Like they killed Papa. (6,000,000) Little Brother, grab my hand. I'll help you off this train. We are going to the showers. That's an upside down bath Washing you from above. Won't it be nice to get Some water on your tongue? Little Brother, where are you? I cannot see or breathe. I hear your cries. Oh, Little Brother, Little Brother, don't die! Little Brother! Good-bye.
