I have information sheets on our new members if you have not gotten one. A copy was attached to last weeks Krier email.

Larry Pingel, a happy buck for my magic watch joke.

Bryan Crenshaw, a happy buck for my speaker who is not going to be here, he is stuck in Howell, another for the Eastern High School student going to the Key Leader Conference. Also one for my dog who got groomed but still has his Mohawk and the last one for a great trip to New Hampshire.

Chuck Reifsnyder, a happy buck to be back after a great month in Florida and another for my granddaughter for her accomplishments in Australia last week. I won’t bore you with the details, there is an article in the paper this morning.

Dick Skinner, a happy buck to present Chuck with the article about his granddaughter that I clipped from the paper this morning. And did you hear…..

Dennis Churchill, a happy buck for my daughter who is coming home from Baltimore with two our grandkids next week.

Yvonne Groak, as most of you know my billfold was stolen last December. Two days ago I received an large envelope from the Collins Road Post Office. Inside was a plastic bag containing all of my identification.

Jo Grubbe, a happy buck for all the events coming up after a slow winter, safety patrol picnic, golf outing, Texas hold ‘em, etc.

Bill Fluke, a couple happy bucks for the next two weeks meetings I will miss. I will be in Denmark eating Danish with the Great Danes.

Clyde Flory, several members are back from Florida but my happy buck is for a trip to Florida next week.
