Humor by President John

Woman was caring for little girl who said, "Mommy always makes me hot muffins." The woman prepares the muffins. The girl says “no thank you." The woman asked, "Why aren’t you eating them? You said your mommy always makes you muffins." The little girl said, "She does, I don’t eat them."

Gold Raffle Update
President John shared Treasurer Fred Timmons' wishes:

We need to advertise that every ticket that goes into the hopper must accompanied with the money. If a club member turns in a ticket and hasn’t turned in the money, then the club member is responsible for payment.

 

Treasurer Fred has purchased the gold. If you have an unsold ticket, turn in the tickets now so that someone else can sell it. If you have sold the tickets and have collected the money make arrangement with Fred so he can get the money.
 
Deadline to turn in unsold tickets is Oct 15.
 
If you need for more tickets because you have buyers, contact Treasurer Fred.
 
Thanks to the Raffle Committee for doing an excellent job!
