Recently I was at a dinner party and one couple had just attended a high school reunion. Reading the local weekly newspaper they discovered a column entitled Alban’s Album in the Ogden Reporter. “Thank God for church ladies with typewriters” and for small weekly newspapers. Here are a few of these bloopers from church bulletins:
“Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
Miss Charlene Mason sang “I Will Not Pass This Way Again,” giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.
Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
For those of you who have children and don’t know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility.
Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.
Low Self-Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7pm. Please use the back door.”
After that brief pause, back on task. Excellent article in the NYTimes on hiring entitled Hearing the right notes from a candidate.
