Rev. Jim Totsch with the good prayer and Sonny Christner leading the pledge...  Charlie Doane the guest of Dick Wentura.  Charlie of course, is a former Exchangite and a tireless volunteer for the Salvation Army...  President Kent read a resignation letter from retired judge Mark Schuering.  Judge Schuering cited his new life as a retiree being as busy as ever.  We will miss him...  Art Awerkamp immediately remarked "We are going to need to find a new judge now."  I suppose it is good to have one near, just in case...  A reminder that the new fiscal year started December 1^st...  Please keep Jeff Dorsey and Rick Cole in your prayers.  Both appear fine now but had health scares that sent them to the hospital last week...  The same Art Awerkamp collecting for the waitress gift.  If you already donated, thank you.  If not, please do so this week...  Hats off to Charlie Ledbetter for organizing the "GIVEAKIDACHANCE Christmas Dinner last Friday evening and for dealing with some adversity.  It was a great event and we thank the several other Exchangites and spouses who helped make the event a success...  Immediate Past President Kevin Curran administering the 50/50.  Rich Howell had the right ticket but picked the wrong card (king of hearts).  Pot still at $400.  Much groaning that the pot hasn't grown.  That was until Art threatened to take it back to $200...  Bruce Broemmel twisting tails and collecting $3 from Elvin Townsend for two different wisecracks.  Sonny Christner helping Bruce out with a joke...  For those of you "who do not get out often", the new Kroc center is located between 4^th & 5^th streets on Broadway...  Please keep in mind that we will conduct our club Christmas/New Year's Party at the Quincy Boat Club on December 31^st.  A luncheon that will include a whole hog roast...  That's all for now, 'til next time, may God's love, grace, and peace be with you and the ones you love.
