There is a great deal of uncertainty about the start of what is now known as the Positive Living Breakfast Club in Cheyenne Wyoming.
According to a Wyoming Tribune Eagle article on March 13, 1994, several members of the inactive Cheyenne SWAP, Salesmen with a Purpose, met at the Owl Inn in 1979 to discuss the feasibility of forming an independent group with similar goals.
In October of 1979, the Sales and Self Developing Associates met for the first time at the Centennial Club. In January 1980 the name was changed to Positive Living Motivators.
At some time prior to that there was a group known as the Yawn Patrol that met at Sambo's on Tuesday mornings at 6:45 am. Now that restaurant is known as The Egg and I and is a popular restaurant in Cheyenne.
Somewhere along the line the club became known as the Positive Living Breakfast Club.
The purpose of the group was and still is "To provide a means by which members meet regularly to promote positive living provide self-development ideas for members."
Dorothy Feldman is perhaps the longest continuous member. Ed Warsaw is near the top if not an equal to Dorothy. Earlier members, no longer involved, were Verle Meister who was the first chairman, Edie Gibson, Barbara Zanoni, Mary Lou Edgar and Bess Arnold.
Gaylord and Emma Fosdick have been regulars for many years and have often brought two of their grandchildren.
Michael Riversong has brought various musical instruments and has played them.
I became a member in late 2000.
The club meets now on Wednesday mornings at 7:30 at Perkins Restaurant on Dell Range Boulevard.
We buy our own breakfast and open the meeting with a reading of quotes from each attendee. We have evolved to the point where some attendees will have two or three quotes. Some may be "thoughtless" at a given meeting.
Some years back it was said that it helps to improve everyone's outlook on life if someone offers a humorous saying such as "The best way to get back on your feet is to miss two car payments."
Gaylord Fosdick frequently quotes Will Rogers.
Any type of quote is welcome.
Various subjects are discussed ranging in time from a minute to five minutes. It is all informal. There are other groups, such as Retired Firefighters, that meet at Perkins. Positive Living Breakfast Club may be the only one where people bring news articles, books, poetry and documents of subjects of interest.
Guests may come in with no advance notice and if they have a subject of interest will be given the floor.
I find it a useful time to try out new ideas and to solicit suggestions on new idea implementation in my safety and other work.
