Well, guys and gals, you’re not going to have old Happy Horton to kick around for the next three months. Boy, doesn’t that make you all sad? I mentioned that at the meeting today, and there just wasn’t enough Kleenex to go around.
Good lunch of pork loin with green beans, roasted potatoes and pencils. Barbara was just beside herself with the decadent chocolate cake. Chocolate cake, chocolate icing, and chocolate sauce dribbled over it. I understand that it was dietetic, however.
If we aren’t the walking wounded. I don’t remember a time when more people were having health issues. Warren enjoyed his surgery so much, he is going to let them operate on his other leg and hip. Then to rehab. Don is in the hospital for surgery, Bill is just back home from a procedure, and Al Campanella is also in the hospital. We are way over budget on the sunshine cards, but I do hope everyone is recovering and will be back with us soon.
Guess what? There is a golf outing on Monday at Deal Golf Club. Addie is working furiously getting the gift baskets finished, and Jack is busy getting his on-site workers lined up. Let’s hope it is a great day. Let’s also hope I play well.
There was a Bored Meeting last night, but Ken won’t tell the club what went on. This Sunday, some of us are going to help at the Crop Walk. I have managed to miss this event for years but the Tinton Falls Club is helping and my wife dragged me into it. It is only for an hour or so at 12:15. Call Addie for more information. November 5th is the “Stop Hunger Now” event from 11:00 to 1:00 at CVR in Eatontown. November 17th, 18th, and 19th, is our Can-A-Thon and Denise brought sign- up sheets to the meeting. Three days at three locations is going to be tough. Ken announced that the club would not be meeting on November, 24th, Thanksgiving. Good planning Ken.
Happy $$$ started with Harriet that she was still upright. I gave for Dave being at the meeting, the great RLI program we had last weekend, and for my being away for the next three months. That brought so many more happy dollars from people being happy that I would be away. No Respect. Darren is going to his fraternity party this weekend and Lou donated $100 for his winning the 50-50 pot two weeks ago. Dave gave $20 for all his missed meetings, and Rhonda gave just because she was happy. A Rotarian guest, Joe Marino joined us and gave a buck, because he is joining the District 7500 E Club.
Our Vice Prez, Doug N. admitted that it was his wife’s birthday, and was so pleased to tell us that it was her 40th birthday. Doug, that was real bright. I can see him at PETs in two years. Hope Bill is still teaching the remedial course.
Our speaker for the meeting was Les Patterson from Gambler’s Anonymous. He talked about it being the hidden addiction because there were no outward signs of the compulsion. Les has been going to meetings for the last 11 years, and considers himself recovering. My understanding of what he was saying was that the program is similar to Alcoholics Anonymous in the way the members reach out to support each other. It certainly is a problem that most of us don’t think about.
Darren was the winner of the 50-50 at the meeting and took home $25.
That’s it for me guys and gals. Barbara will be back with you next week trying to keep you up to date.
