HAPPY
DOLLARS |
Chris
Blais: for 19 years with Robin, for Eve’s Social Committee and her great cakes,
and for Bob Loveridge’s superb job making SummerFest successful despite a flood! |
|
|
|
Eve, for the
happiest grin on my grandson Ethan’s face when he got the first ride in Dave’s
new convertible, even if he did have to lug chairs! |
|
Jim
Colabelli, for my son’s wedding in Tennessee, where I got to play golf for the 1st
time, and because my injured finger is healing well. (Careful how you
display THAT finger, Jim!) |
|
John
Brownrigg: (A
long, complicated, involved, and convoluted story about a trailer and a
truck—HUH? John, I need an advance copy of the script of your stories!) I
won a bet with my wife for spending less than 12 hours working on SummerFest for
the first time! |
|
Jim Rogers,
for a wonderful time at the Governor’s official visit—great picnic, and good job
by all 3 Lt Governors! |
|
Fred Jeschke,
for putting up with me for five years! |
|
Pres
Alison: I was so impressed with this Club for pitching in after the flooding of
SummerFest, and turning a disaster into a success! |
|
Booker, for
my NEW CAR! |
|
Gary: Kathy
hasn’t told us a joke in months, so I will! A princess was taking a
walk, came to a fork in the road (and she wasn’t even eating!), and saw a lily
pond with a frog sitting there. He begged her to please kiss him so he would
turn back into the prince he was before. He promised to be all hers so she
could cook, scrub, have his kids, do his laundry, and love him nightly. The
princess replied, “I think NOT”, and that night she dined on frog’s legs and
white wine! MORAL: Don’t give women too much information! |
|
DRAWINGS |
DOOR PRIZE, provided by
Eve, was won by Pres Alison! |

Ken Noland, who donated it back to the Club! Thanks, Ken! |

remaining 19 cards. Getting close, folks! |
