Meeting
Announcements
Bill Maher: The sign-up
sheets are again on the tables for the Rummage Sale on Saturday, March 7, at
the Faith United Methodist Church, 4301 S Waverly Rd. Indicate if you can
help with registration, set-up or provide refreshments. The sale starts at
9:00am and items can be brought to the church on Thursday and Friday of that
week at 11:00am.
Larry Pingel: As
mentioned previously, this year we have agreed to provide 4 members to serve
lunch at the City Rescue Mission from 12 noon – 1:00pm on the third Monday
of each month. Sign-up sheets are on the tables… February has been filled.
Clarence Smith: You
probably received an email from me today. A couple were returned as
undeliverable but I think I have those corrected. If you did not get my
email please contact me with your email address, so I have a complete list.
The thought is this will give me an opportunity to quickly send information
that is relevant to everyone in the Club. Please feel free to reply with
your comments or questions. It also gives the members a chance to consider
the information provided and comment on it at the next meeting.
Nicholas and the
Noon News
News you can’t get anywhere else
such as the near apprehension of the culprit who occasionally puts a single
onion ring in french fries orders at Burger King Restaurants.
The weather, a little more snow
the next couple of days but warming up into the mid 30’s on Sunday. Perfect
for watching the Super Bowl… in front of your tv.
