Membership Chair Cathy Bailes:
MIA
PP RAY’S RAMBLINGS: MIA
BUT 1st Veep Chris stepped up to offer his rendition of a joke as told by President Ronald Reagan. A realtor was checking our properties in farming country and spotted a chicken with only 3 legs. He followed the chicken to its’ home where the farmer admitted he raised 3-legged chickens because he loved drumsticks. The realtor asked how the drumsticks tasted and the farmer replied “I don’t know I haven’t caught one yet”.
HAPPY DOLLARS:
Gary Sims $? – Harassed Geo. Hurst
Carter $20 – Son Cash got the game ball for his strong performance in his recent LL game.
Mike R $5 – shared a story about his friend Arnie Robinson (retired American athlete and Olympian), and just returned from a vaca in the Boston area where he went to a Patriots game and a Red Sox/Yankee game.
Paul W $5 – something about Cathy and Keith
Tom H $125 – $100 for the 63′ Bertram ‘boat’ he purchased and $25 for the ‘dingy’ he sold.
Roger S $10 – gone 2 weeks and while in Idaho stopped in at the Buck Knives plant. Also got to visit with our own Doris Huls who said HIi to all and how much she enjoys keeping in touch via our newsletter.
Dick N $10 – was in the NE for a couple of weeks with his travelling group and was disappointed that they saw no autumn colors due to the 80 degree weather then another $5 as he was at the SDSU game just before leaving on this vaca and forgot his binoculars upon leaving the game but ‘great friend’ Mike Raney came to the rescue and picked them up in Lost and
Found and returned them to Dick – these bino’s are at least 40 years old!
Tom H told a story on George about an apartment building George recently sold. Apparently Tom put in an offer but it was declined. There was a 2nd offer to purchase from another party, with conditions, which George accepted. Tom was asked to assess the property’s condition and came up with a huge amount required to repair so everyone agreed to a lower price and Tom saved George some $55,000 in the deal.
George $50 – for selling his apartment building (this fine amounted to less than .001% of what Tom saved him).
Bob G $5 – Happy to see George today
Chris $5 – phone went off during the meeting
