The multi-talented and delightful Estelle Ruehl gave the Lenten prayer for the week. Speaking about all things holy and sacred, do you know how you get holy water? You boil the hell out of it.

Young and old guests attended our meeting. In the under five category, Caroline was the guest of her grandparents Tom and Jane. Of course, we had our little guy, JoAnn's grandson. Over five and not counting was Brian Sweeney, Nancy Ziegler and Sherrie Reuter.

Now listen closely, we want to know if any of our members past or present have bought the ranch, kicked the bucket, are pushing up daises or just plain croaked. If none of the above applies to you, then you are expected to attend the memorial services at St. Simon's Church on Monday, May 1st at 7:00 p.m. The Revs. Ernie Bieglow and Mike Beatty will preside over the ceremony. If your name appears on the list of the deceased this is a legitimate excuse and we know you will be with us in spirit!!!!! All kidding aside, this is an important event. Showing our respect to the families and especially to the widows of our deceased members. We want to make a good showing. So plan to attend.

The RBB is seriously behind in tickets being sold. Twenty-one of our members have yet to take any tickets. The Early Bird Drawing is next week. Get your tickets in and try to win back your $100. Corporate sponsors are desperately needed. Denise and Ron Grause are the latest corporate sponsors to sign up. All corporate activity needs to be in by the end of the month in order to get their names in print.

Joyce is calling for Silent Auction items. It's getting late and we need to get in gear. One of our members, Terry Johnson from Enterprise Travel Agency donated two Delta Airline Tickets to anywhere in the United States. He has been very generous to our PHWHK and if you have any travel plans give Terry a call and maybe he can help you with that dream vacation you have thought about for so long.

Biggie had a good idea. If you have any frequent flyer miles accumulated, you may like to donate them to the Silent Auction.

Jane Reuter is calling her Membership Committee together for a meeting on Wednesday, April 19th at high Noon. The place, Ron's Roost. Everyone agrees this is the hot spot for lunch. It is important for the committee to gain membership. Since 1995 loss of members has caused 960,000 hours of national service to the community to be gone forever. Did I say that right?????

Well glory be, I suppose it's that time of the year again. Elections. The far right (Blue Ticket) accused the far left (Gold Ticket) of dirty politics. The conservatives and the liberals are on an intense mud in your face campaign. The hot issues are "gum control" and "champagne reform." Ed Flick intro his Blue Ticket; Dan Finke, Ed Willig, Paul Klatte and Jane Babydoll Reuter. Next week the Gold Ticket will get their chance to repute.

Two birthdays for the week are Fred Morr and Tony Profitt.

Our speaker for the week was Dwight Young from Bloc Ministries who helps the youth of high school and their families get their lives back on track.

Next week guest will be Buddy La Rosa - The King of Pizza. I wonder if he will bring us any samples. If not, maybe he will let us in on his mom's secret recipe for sauce.

Here's one for the season: Do you know how to catch a unique rabbit?

Unique up on it.

Do you know how to catch a tame rabbit?

Tame Way, Unique up on it.

Well excuse me, just trying to add some enjoyment to your life.

 

 

Till next time......... Lois L. Lane
