GOOD CHEER: _________________________________________________________
Mike Raney said I just want to share with the club, Mark Clifton and I have talked about it, but Mike Carlton has a serious health issue.
Today he’s getting chemo.
And he has not leukemia, but a type of blood cancer.
So he didn’t share it with anybody.
And then he told Mark, so we discussed it.
IF you know of any members who are in distress, sick, or in the hospital, PLEASE notify PP Yvonne so our good wishes can be conveyed to him/her. 619/838-4262

I just wanted to give you a shout-out for the music before the meeting.

The baby gavel.

Paul Tremblay $20- First of all, thank you, Gary, for putting together the day of the races on Friday and everybody.

Here’s the exact $10.
Happy to hear everybody’s voices.
That’s good.

Roger, past President Roger, just asked me who won at the racetrack, and I forgot that our president, Ron Nevels, made a $30 trifecta bet and won $330.
I think you won that.

Thank you, but I will do better. I didn’t put up any money, and I think I look great.
