| Opening Act |
President Denise Ormsby called our meeting
to order at the beautiful new Jumer's Hotel and Casino. Despite missing her usual props of a podium,
microphone, and riser, she handled things pretty well.
As
what must have been a test to see if anyone reads the newsletter, Queen Daphne
did a turn and asked the membership what the coming events were. Prizes were awarded to those who either knew
or made up something close to reality.
These events include Hockey Night March 7, the Governor's visit April 4,
putt putt golf Wednesday through Friday of this week, the bags tournament in
September, Rose Day April 22, an Interclub with the Rock Island Golden K Club
on February 26 at Friendship Manor, the Mid-Winter District Conference this
coming weekend in Decatur, and the Bowl-A-Thon March 8. If you need more details on any of these
events, please feel free to call Denise any time, day or night, at work or at
home and she'll gladly regale you not only with more information about the
dates, but no doubt with colorful language that she recalls from back in her
school days.
We
were happy to welcome two individuals into our fellowship as new members, Kevin
Murphy and Meagan Hershbarger.
In
Fun and Fellowship, the preliminary $6 prize went to Adam Bain, who graciously
donated his winnings back to the Club.
The opportunity for the grand prize went to the Kartel, which tried to
win $6 on $8 of contributions, but Mike Bell managed to reel in the money for
the benefit of the Club.
The
Club hadn't had a chance to enjoy what members have come to know as Grabau-isms
for a while, so we were tickled by his offering this week. Apparently, the Grabaus are celebrating their
39th anniversary. Dale
offered that his dear and long-suffering wife indicated she wanted to go out to
eat to celebrate the occasion but, to Dale's disappointment, she wasn't able to
come to the meeting.

| The Feature Attraction |
The program consisted of a tour of
the beautiful new Jumer's facility. The
rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and very reasonable. Restaurant facilities and the casino itself
boast many of the qualities of the better Las
Vegas casinos with the added attractiveness of a lot
of space, high ceilings, and good customer traffic accommodations.
