AnnouncementsThank you notes were read from eye glass recipients. Jim Doyne reports that Duane Kurrlemeyer is able to drive and was planning on making the meeting today.  We didn’t see Duane but that sure sounds good.

Happy BucksMany, but I forgot I was the scribe and thus did not get them written down. 

Next week’s program:  

Speaker:   Our own Ron Sunderman gave an exciting rendition of his wife’s life experience with the horseless carriage.  The movie version should be better than Field of Dreams and the new baseball flick out of Norway.  We understand that she will do the stunt work in the production as it may be impossible for anyone else to duplicate it.  Mr. Clean will play the part of Ron and Phyllis Diller will be cast as the ever present insurance adjuster.  The movie will start out with the early days of marriage when Ron taught his wife how to drive

Doug Dix along with sponsors inducted James Moriarty (lawyer) and Mike Poggenklass (wealth manager) into the club.  Sorry to say again, that I was asleep at the switch and did not get their vitals written down. It is great to have them as an addition to our club.

Word for the day: Contrapose -  To set in opposition, or over against each other.  Sorry to say, it was too easy.  Must be lots of that going around.
