Actually, Stacey may even be more sophisticated than Claud. She cant help it: she grew up in New York City. She didn't move to Stoneybrook until seventh grade. Stacey's been through some tough times in the past few years. For one thing, she found out she has diabetes. Her body can't process sugars correctly, so she has to be very, very careful about

what she eats. Also, she has to give herself daily injections (ew!) of this stuff called insulin. Stacey's learned how to take care of herself pretty well, and I'm always impressed at how matter-of-factly she deals with having a lifelong disease.

Also, Stacey's parents recently got divorced. Her dad lives back in New York, and Stacey goes to visit him as often as she can. But most of the time it's just Stacey and her mom against the world. (I can relate to that, since it was just me and Dad for so long.)

Anyway, despite her troubles, Stacey's one of the most cheerful, fun-loving people I know. And she loves to be around kids, which makes her a great baby-sitter.

Now that you've met the president, vice-president, and treasurer of our dub, I bet you're wondering who the secretary is. Well, it's me, (Surprise.) I really like my job, maybe because I'm naturally neat and organized. What I do is to keep the record book up to date. The record book is where we write down all kinds of information about our clients — not just their names and addresses and their kids' names, but their kids' favorite foods, favorite games, allergies, and so forth. I love keeping track of those things. I also keep track of the club members' schedules, which isn't as simple as you might think.
