Breakfast! I am pleased to announce that we made over $5,000 on
this fundraiser. What a great start to an annual event that can only go up! I
guesstimated that we might make $6K on this, so I wasn’t too far off. Actually,
we have to wait until our traveling Treasurer returns to determine the exact
amount of money that was made. Again, my thanks go out to one and all those who
participated and helped to make this a success, especially the staff and
residents of The Allegro.
The Board met last Monday and discussed several
things. The Peanut Day will be

⅓-⅓-⅓ DRAWING WINNERS: Winning last meeting were Mark Shelley, and Chief
Hedges. (Did your buds get the money to you Mark? I know you had to leave
early.) Mix those tickets well. Buy your tickets early and often.
Late Breaking News:
The Gators are now the only
SEC team that is undefeated, and they are ranked #2 in the polls. Keep this up
and they will be playing for the national championship. And what has happened
to the Seminoles? They look as if they are playing offense with a 5 second
delay. I think it is time to bench Wetherford, just to wake him up.
The Jags looked like something else. They manhandled
the Jets, and the only problem that I see is that they lost two of their better
defensive players to injury.
On the local level, the battle of the titans was a
whale of a game. SAHS lost to Nease, and there appears to be one confirmed bad
call. I still think the “fumble” with less than 6 minutes to play was no catch,
just incomplete
Baseball is back in the news, and can you believe
those Yankees? They imploded as no one would have guessed. Old George will
making some changes, of that there is no doubt. Evidently not Joe Torre, as it
was just announced that he will be staying. It showed one thing for sure; that
money can’t always buy success.
Lou Nestor reported on his son-in-law. Evidently he
not suffering from pure ALS but has similar symptoms. Evidently he has some
metal contamination of his blood which was aggravated by his job as a welder.
Lou is hopeful and our prayers go out to Kenny Goodall, his son-in-law.
Quote(s) of the Week:
"Our national existence, our very survival
as a People and as Americans are preeminent. It is the task of true leadership
to understand that and to do what is necessary... Conservatives are correct to
insist on the sanctity of the Constitution and on the grave importance of
fidelity to its plain language. But they must not forget that we Americans came
together to fight for our independence and to form a more perfect union before
the Constitution was actually written or ratified. The Divine blessing bestowed
upon the American People to become a People was not dependent on that document.
There was something more; something quite divine. The Constitution made that
blessing a political reality and that is why it deserves our unending reverence
and faithfulness." —David Yerushalmi,
Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies
"There is no doubt that the government
of this former republic is growing ever more tyrannical. The question remains:
When, if ever, will there again arise a breed of patriots willing to step up to
the plate?" —Lyn Nofziger,
"North Star" of the Reagan Revolution
"Only mediocrity can be trusted to be
always at its best." —Sir Max Beerbohm
"Waste not fresh tears over old griefs." —Euripides
"Whatever you may be sure of, be sure of this: That you are dreadfully
like other people." —James Russell

"It seems now that the place where you
see the most obvious censorship is on college campuses—the precise place where
you would expect to see the least." —Alan
