In the year 1982 Nealon of the families and Hutchinson of the ladies led the members into the Temple for an accounting and those that count proclaimed that the gold coins exceeded the debts and this was exceedingly good for such had not always been the proclamation. And the members rejoiced and took their gold coins and exchanged them for a hard black surface on that area reserved for the keeping of chariots. And it was reported that Craig of the family of Hamilton was known throughout the land as the first winner of the National NAIA Arthur Ashe Award and he brought honor to the club.

And in the year of 1983 reports came from all over the land that the prodigal sons of the families Pazourek, Gardner and Zeratsky continued to defeat the infidels from all other clubs. And the teacher Greg was exceedingly glad and the senior zeratsky did tell all who would listen of this truly great thing. And the families led by Hurd and the ladies led by Ervin went to the tent of Robbins where they did rejoice in the rain which came without end.

In the year 1984 the families were led by Hurd and the ladies by Bourdeau and it appeared to all who did see that the families were well pleased and the lamps were well trimmed and fit. There was in those days a movement in the land led by invaders who would steal away families in the night with promises of stronger bodies, faster feet and all manners of other temptations. Some families left the Temple to take up their racquets in other places and they were sorely missed. And the families they were fewer and it was not good.

And in 1985 the eyes of the people were opened and they looked about them and saw the Philistines had come among them and divided the land into tribes of seekers of good health and had lured away the children of the true tribe with their palaces of machines that build bodies, their pools of healing waters and their enclosures of games played with black balls and small racquets. And the Council of Wisemen gathered and planned how to defend against these invaders. And in those days the families were lead by Winters and Ervin spoke for the ladies.

And Thomas the Elder continued to lead the families in the silver year of 1987. A pool of healing water began to cure the people as they were sorely tired from the machines that build bodies and swinging small racquets at black balls and large racquets at yellow balls. And it was reported across the land that all who had come before senior Ginger Olesen and son Phillip had bowed down and they were known as the Champions of the National Equitable Life Mother/Son Competition. And so it came to pass on the 26th day of September that the families came together to the great Ball in the Temple and celebrated the year of Silver. And all rejoiced and said this is truly a club which shall be known throughout the land as good.

June 18, 1994 party. The following update was presented at the 32nd anniversary.

In the year 1988 as the Tribe had prospered with men and women speaking as one, the trible did elect Andrea Gernon, the first of the women, as chief of the council of Wiseones. The great teacher Greg was known throughout the Land as "Pro of the Year" of the United States Professional Tennis Association and brought great honor to the Club.

And the territory was becoming crowded with many tents and chariots and it became known that additional land could be exchanged for gold coins. In the year of 1989 Bud Truebenbach did lead the council on its quest to expand the domain of the Tribe and did acquire 1.1 acres of land from the district which does provide water and so it was that the Tribe roamed upon 11.1 acres of land upon which no other could pass.

The Council of Wiseones looked about and found that the state of repair was wanting in 1990 and so it was through the labor of leader Laura Polcyn the courts of open air were renewed as in the earlier days. And the members rejoiced with parties of painters who cast upon the fences coats of fresh paint. And teacher Greg Smith invited the best of the junior racket carriers to swing their racquets together at the Regional Training Camp of the mighty United States Tennis Association and the members of the tribe were puffed up with pride at the stature of their young.

And as in the past, a cloud of locusts from the country did invade the dominion of the tribe and carried with them the decree--though shalt fence thy pool or the powers of Pierce shall descend upon these. And so it came to be that the pool was fenced and the plague was removed from the land. Thence sayeth the Wiseones "Our temple is being unduely taxed by the philistines and we must have relief from this oppressive burden." Thus it was that Bart Dalton as leader of the wiseones took up his sword and led the tax assault and did return victorious from the den of inequity known as the assessor of tax. And the tribe made merry, created a place of beauty in the great chariot circle and celebrate in great numbers in great numbers at the tent of Wendy and George of Tall Trees in the year of 1991.

And a great light appeared to the shepherd Greg Smith who oversaw the activities of the club and sayeth he "There is a gift which I will seek which will providers with coins and the temple shall shine as never before seen." And he did venture forth into that dark and mysterious land known as the administration of federally regulated opportunities. During this year of 1992, the leader was Bob Andrew, and the families did number 332.
