Meeting
Guests
Joy Schmaul was a guest of
Nicholas Ferreri. Joy, one of Nicholas’ best college friends, is living in
Chicago where she is a high school science teacher.
Announcements
Jim Kost: We still have
several months open for 2008-2009 program chairmen. Sign up for a month and
get the schedule completed.
We haven’t taken a collection for
the Food Bank recently, so I would like to do that today.
Larry Pingel: I have the
sign-up sheet for program chairman which I will be passing around. I am
contemplating having an auction of some kind and the lowest bidders will be
assigned a month as program chairman. Let’s get the all the months filled.
We are working on the membership
letters. They have been delayed a bit since I was in vacation but will be
going out soon.
The Noon News
Nicholas Ferreri again with
today’s news and weather forecast on this the 192nd day of the
year which also is Tom Hanks 52nd birthday. Nicholas also
informed us the Oregon balloon-a-tic, reported on last week, landed safely
in Idaho after drifting 200 miles in his lawn chair kept aloft by 150 helium
filled balloons.
Songs
Bob Nelson led the singing today…
"Toot Toot Tootsie, Goodbye" and "Smile."
Happy Bucks
Larry Pingel, a happy buck
for some time spent with our daughter in Milwaukee. If you ever go to
Milwaukee there are a lot of brewery tours.
Clyde Flory, a happy buck for
a children’s church service in Traverse City where the pastor found
chocolate is not the favorite of all kids, some like seaweed and tofu. A
second happy buck for the next two weeks when we will be at our timeshare in
Traverse City.
Roger Grove, I have a happy
buck for Andrew Jason, from Cooley Law School, who is going to speak to us
about legal assistance for seniors. He has an ideal age group here.
Glenn Mulder, I have a happy
buck because I was able to extricate a black and white animal from my live
trap this morning without getting sprayed.
Nicholas Ferreri, a happy
buck for Joy’s visit with us today, and another for some vacation time
scheduled in August.
Bob Holden, an exhausted
happy buck for having survived a weekend at the lake with our family that
included 10 grandkids all with ages between 2 and 14.
Jim Kost, a happy buck
because my big brother is coming in from Chicago and when he comes in that
means 3 days of golf.
Ev Beemer, I have a happy
buck because we just went to see our fifth great granddaughter who was born
the 29th.
Rick Librizzi, a buck for
spending the 4th of July weekend entertaining 2 grandkids with
Comcast service out and no TV.
Jim Kost, a happy buck for my
daughter who called me on fathers day and told me she is expecting on Feb 10th.
Program
Roger Grove introduced his
speaker for the day Andrew Jason. Mr. Jason graduated from Cooley Law School
and spoke to us about Cooley law students and professors who provide help to
senior citizens with their legal problems.
