Prayer, Song and Pledge were handled by JIM, MARGARET & GARY.  If you were in attendance (and less then half of you were), then you would know these things.

Past member Gary Nienhuis was with us again today, but says he will be off to the state of Washington next week to oversee whatever it is he oversees up there.  He says he will be shuttling back and forth every 3 or 4 weeks to report on what it is he is overseeing.  I kind of think he’s watching his new house grow……..or not.  He’ll have a problem if his new house grows faster than his old one sells……..

Prez J. JACKMAN  will be traveling off to the big town of Merced tonight to attend the DCM meeting and try to get the District Gov. to except his check and his apology for the clubs failure to cover his room last month.  I have no doubt that the check will be accepted, lets hope the apology is also……………

JAN JAEGER is looking for another driver or two to help shuttle the Modesto High Key Club  across town May 9^th and then again May 12^th.   Call her up if you can help.

NAN JACOBS must have some big plans this month, as she bought the “Fine-Free Necklace” for $30.00.

JOYCE A. had a happy buck…….seems FINN is taking his final test for his California Drivers License……..If you see him driving towards you ….look out !!!  He sometimes forgets which pedal is the gas and which one is the brakes………

New member PERRY (he’s the one still wearing his new member apron) auctioned off a very tiny bottle of maple syrup that he brought back from east coast.  JAKE Z. bought it for $13.00.

BOB RIVERS (speaking of newer members) gave two happy bucks……one for his 13 yr old grandson and one for his new bicycle……..Since there’s two wheels on a bicycle he seems to have gotten off pretty cheap.

JAN Y. paid $10.00 as she just bought herself a newer motorcycle  ( I guess our “biker gal” put a lot of miles on her old bike )  I’m still waiting for her to give me what she says would be the “ride of my life”……hhhmmmm.

J. WILLIAMS is helping to head up a march on Sat. May 24^th to help publish the fact that Modesto has a serious GANG problem.  (They may not be in your backyard yet, but they’re coming soon.  Call him up and help him out…………

The drawing was attempted by Gary Nienhuis and TERRY M.  both failed ………..

The program was brought to us by gas and oil magnate Carl Boyett (Boyett Petroleum).

Carl spent the first 29 minutes showing slides and photos that tried to explain all there is to know about why gas is expensive.  But in the final one minute he admitted that he sets the price at all his pumps all by himself.

All in all, a very interesting program……..for those of you who failed to attend today, you missed out on the free ‘tank of gas’ coupons that he gave to everyone.  I think there’s a few coupons left that Prez. JERRY says he will give to members that show up next week that missed out today……………After you show up next week for your coupon, come see me, I still have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Some Lines to Make You Smile

I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Ever stop to think, and then forget to start again ?

Procrastinate Now !!!

I smile because I don’t know what the hell is going on………

 

See ya next time.  Terry Mcgrath
