Dear Ashley,
I live in Stilton, Arkansas. How can I form my own Trixies Club, right here in my hometown of 812 people? Unfortunately, we don't have a Starbucks within 300 miles of us, but we do have a Circle K. Most of the people here drive pick up trucks. Do those work in this society?
Please advise. Thanks!
Mary Jo Mazurek
Dear Mary Jo,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write to the Society. I mentioned your e-mail to another member over lunch today, and we were both touched by your ambition to create a fabulous social club in your small little town.
Please note that we are a society, not a club. In addition to the sense of belonging a society provides, we strive to support our members and promote the uniquely wonderful Broad Ripple beliefs and lifestyles.
With that in mind, I have suggested that the Society lobby our Village Council member to create a sister city, much like many towns do with small African or Eastern European villages.
I would recommend that the Broad Ripple example could do much to end some of the poverty and sense of abandon I gather that Stilton must endure.
Before I contact the Council member, however, I just want to make sure that Stilton hasn't been adopted by a more fortunate city or town elsewhere. As I'm sure you can understand, we need to cover all our bases before we can give the Society endorsement.
Thank you again for your sweet message. By the way, my accountant Jay keeps a pickup truck at his Lake Wawasee getaway for hauling the Ski-Doo. Though I wouldn't recommend driving a pickup in our Village, I am sure in yours it looks so quaint!
Sincerely,
Ashley Tucker-Stansfield
