1988 - 1989 Our social activities began with a 50's party at Chapps Café, followed by the September salad

toss. It was a year involving several of our own talented Clipped B members as monthly speakers…Nella

Phillips, Cathy Sims, Doreen Christensen and our honorary member, Margaret Kincaid. Our Christmas Sherry

party included an arts &

crafts sale, chaired by Fran Jamieson, which netted $2,000 for Dallas CAN! Academy. Our year concluded in

style with a beautiful Spring luncheon at the Marriott Mandaly at Las Colinas. While we weren't surprised, we

regret seeing Dallas-based Braniff move its headquarters to Orlando, Florida this May. Just look at what the

Clipped Bs have done! And, there is more to come!

1989 - 1990 Houston Bs hosted our September convention in Galveston. In November, Braniff ceased

operations for the second time, citing huge business losses. We again welcomed those who had suddenly

become "exes". Meetings were held at the Silver Leopard, Gabberts and a tour of the Wendy Reves

Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art. In the Spring, we made a three-day trip to Fredericksburg and the

Oberhelman Vineyards. Funds were provided for the Jeanne Braniff Terrell Scholarships and we restored our

silver service to mint condition. At our May luncheon at the Energy Club, a check for $3,147 was presented to

"Our Friends Place".

1990 - 1991 We miss our Braniff in the skies, but we still have each other! (Our thoughts of the year.) We had

exceptionally creative programs this year: Musical Revue, Airline memorabilia, creative dressing, window and

home decorating and much, much more. Our first Oktoberfest was a great success. A fabulous Christmas

party at Love Field brought back lots of memories. Our elegant Spring luncheon held at Park City Club was a

very happy event laughing with comic singer Lu Mitchell. Our charity check for $2,000 was presented to "Our

Friends Place" from Project Chairman Cleota Hartfelder.

1991 - 1992 We started our year off with the usual salad toss luncheon. This was followed by our convention

at Vail, Colorado, which was hosted by the Rocky Mountain Bs. High caliber programs followed throughout

the year. Attendance was good and we enjoyed the "friendly luncheons" at various restaurants. The

membership requested more fun and less work and that's what we attempted. Our Christmas party was a

huge success at The Northwood Club. More people attended than ever before. Much fun! Great Spring

luncheon at the University Club where we gave $2,000 to our charity, the Jeanne Braniff Terrell Scholarship

Fund. We also gave a new washing machine to the East Dallas Community School, as well as gifts of toys to

needy children at Christmas. Our membership peaked at 259.

1992 - 1993 Membership keeps growing. 323 people paid dues this year. We had a successful year with

interesting programs. We toured the Meyerson Symphony Center, had a book review, good speakers and our

"friendly luncheons". The holiday Sherry party and Spring luncheon had more people in attendance than ever.

Good fun and good company. We had wonderful officers and people working together. The fact that we all

at one time flew for Braniff is our common bond, and that is what keeps our club

strong. Our charity money was given to Toys for Children at Christmas and to The Texas Language Speech

and Hearing Foundation in the name of the Braniff Clipped Bs. We have given enough money to be

considered "sponsors" of the foundation. Senator and former Judge, Oscar Mauzy, represented the

foundation at our Spring luncheon.

1993 - 1994 With 336 members, the board had a lot of support for all of the planned activities. We started out

with the annual salad toss and looked forward to the convention in San Antonio. We were entertained in

grand style in the Alamo City. From the Fall on, our members began looking forward to the next convention

which we would host!. Brainstorming for convention planning continued throughout the year at the meetings,

parties. Our Spring luncheon was attended by the Carnival reps, where we all realized we would really be

"rocking the boat" in 1995! Ann Mauzy was happy to accept our donation in memory of Ann Ruff at the Bent

Tree luncheon, which put us at the half-way mark to have a fully endowed scholarship fund administered by

the Texas Speech Hearing Language Foundation. Braniff Clipped Bs will be awarding a scholarship every

year to a graduate student attending the University of Texas-Dallas.

1994 - 1995 September started off with our Salad toss at Bev Fleming's beautiful home in Flower Mound! The

coming cruise convention was always the major topic at our meetings and socials. It was the high light of the

year! We returned to the end of the runway at Love Field for lunch on the lake at Pierre's in October. The

holiday season was highlighted by a delicious dinner dance at Embassy Suites which was another return to

Love Field. For our April meeting, we boarded a party bus and were conducted by Busy Bee Tours on a field

trip to tour the new Ballpark in Arlington. We really enjoyed all the normally off-limit areas and had the

opportunity to sit in the dug-out and stand on the warning track. A wonderful, hardworking board came up with

some great events. Our membership topped out at 343, thanks to the members recruiting and the

extraordinary efforts of Mary Moffett who is passing the job of Membership/Yearbook to Sally Roberts. We

donated $2,000 to our charity - the Clipped Bs Endowment Fund.
