President’s
Message:
First off, let me report that
the meeting will continue to be held at Capt. Jack’s for another week or two,
possibly a whole month. We need to look for new digs, but this week we will
meet back with Debbie.
Bring
us your junque!! Yes, one man’s trash is
another man’s treasure, and I have misspelled junk to let you know that it may
be better in someone else’s digs. The garage sale is coming up in February, as
you can see in a couple of places in this newsletter. Get your stuff to
Speaking of Tim,
he got it done. I don’t know how many times we have tried to get the Club’s
meeting info in The Record. Well, Tim got it done, and we appreciate your
work, Tim.

LAST WEEK: Skeeter
introduced Danielle Jones, the
Director of Child Care at the local YMCA, and Whitney Linn, the Director of Membership. They gave a good history
of the organization. The YMCA has been in our fair city for 99 years. There are
plans to add two other locations in the country. Some of us were able to
enlighten them as to what The Y was doing when we were young.
THIS WEEK: We will honor our Student of the Month from Pedro
Menendez. Also, Richard Welty,
covering for John Regan, will
present Art Lillquist, Administrator
of Old St. Augustine Village Museum, the property that was donated by the late Kenneth Dow, and which depicts the
city’s history at various stages of its life. For those of you who are not
familiar with this, check out this link http://www.old-staug-village.com
NEXT WEEK:
Guests: The attendance was much better last week, so we must
be over the bout of TMF (Too Much Football.) We did have one guest, Tyler Key, who has been visiting this
club for many years. Now he is grown up, graduated from college, and is looking
for a job. His dad, Skeeter, and
mom, Diane, hope he finds one
soooon, if they are anything like the rest of us and want their home back.
⅓-⅓-⅓ DRAWING WINNERS: The winners last week were Richard Welty and Art May.
Congrats, and mix those tickets up better next time. Buy your tickets early and
often.
Late Breaking News:
Here are just a few things to
keep in mind, so that our projects will go smoothly this year. We are planning
a garage sale, and need some of you
to donate a garage that you don’t mind selling. Actually, we need for you guys
to get together your “junque” (that’s classy junk) so that we can make it
someone else’s “treasure.” The date is now set, so get your items to Tim so that we know how much we have to
sell. Tim requests that you mark
your price on the item so that no one can come back later and gripe that we
sold it too low. If you could care less, then don’t bother marking a price on
it.
Our
basketball tourney is coming February 1 and 2, and we will need to sell the
sponsorships again, and we need to get that done ASAP. The shirts have gone to
the printers, but we can still use some money.
Can you believe the playoffs? The Colts are out after
their first game?? What’s that all about? Manning better get busy or he will go
down in history as Marino Jr. – a great quarterback who never won the Super
Bowl. He will have fewer excuses, because Marino never had the running game
that Manning has.
The annual Geography Bee is coming up soon and Bob
will keep us posted as to when it will be held. New members, this is a MUST
attend! You will enjoy it as much as the kids.

in the interpretation of a statute is to discover the meaning of those who made

"The most important
thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work
seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative, and the
second disastrous." —Margaret Fontey

not blossom forth, it is not genuine faith, the Gospel has not yet gained a
foothold, and Christ is not yet rightly known." —Martin Luther

do less." —Robert E. Lee

government must decide everything. But when government decides, minorities,
even large minorities, lose rights." —John

"One place there is not
total cooperation is in reality. More than a language barrier separates the
Western and Islamic definitions of terrorism, and no amount of happy talk about
'inclusion' or conferences about 'cooperation' changes that." —Diana West
