The Walnut - December, 2013 
“Yule” really love this month’s meeting. Aside from the usual holiday season’s boundless frivolity and imbibing, we’ve invited comic Ruvin Geller to raise some yuks at the December meeting.
Plus, member Hal Floysvik and his Trillium Dixieland Band will perform, we suspect, seasonal Dixieland music.
Please stop reading this issue and come out to the festivities instead. As for The Walnut, yes, we have stuff in it.
The Walnut - November, 2013 
This is Stache month. It used to be MOvember. No matter. The idea is the same.
Grow something on your upper lip and tell people you’re looking better all because of prostate cancer. They won’t believe you. The looking better part, we mean.
For those already sporting facial fuzz, we thank you for your permanent support of the cause. No matter what it makes you look like.
The Walnut - October, 2013 
No hanging chads interfered with the September elections. The results are on page 3. We’ve kept the vote count confidential though.
As for the rest of the issue, we go from lymphedema to more on PSA testing and conclude with some fine lessons on stress management. As always, something for everyone.
The Walnut - September, 2013 
The big news, aside from it being Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, is it’s also election time.
The campaigns are done, the politicking and verbal sparring, too. Come out to the association’s elections on Sept. 19 and vote.
Even vote more than once. We won’t tell.
