| Opening Act |
President Denise Ormsby called the
meeting to order. Jonathan Turner and
his Sugarland tribute band, "NutraSweet
Land", provided the
entertainment.
In
view of the full agenda, Queen Daphne pronounced, to the grief and sorrow of
the attendees, that there would be no group singing. Happy/Sad Dollar was also cut out of the
agenda so, hopefully, everyone will hang onto their bucks until next Monday.
We
were reminded that the last day for collection of Rose Day funds will be next
Monday.
The
Club will welcome several new members to the fellowship next week.
Dave
Umphrey announced that the Rod Jennings Clean-up Fix-up Fest will be held April
25 at 8:00 a.m. If you have trouble hanging on to a paintbrush,
finger painting is encouraged.
Dave
also reminded us of a Bethany
fundraiser April 17. If you have any
questions about this, Dave welcomes telephone inquiries any time of the day or
night.
Gene
Smith gave us our first warning that Birdies for Charity solicitation will be
coming soon.
John
Califf announced that grant requests are being solicited, so if you know of a
worthy cause, please feel free to pass it on to John.
As
if the mountain of plastic two-piece eggs and miniature Tootsie Rolls didn't
serve as enough of a reminder, Bill Nelson reminded us that the annual Easter
egg hunt will be this Saturday.
Participation in this brief but frenetic activity is encouraged.
Guests
included members of the Alleman High School Key Club and several co-workers of
Bill Nelson specially trained in the ancient art of plastic Easter egg
stuffing.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Chris Ford won the preliminary prize, which he graciously
donated back to the Club. Dave Bender
won the opportunity to go after the grand prize but had as much luck as most of
our past participants.

| The Feature Attraction |
The program was given by Rodney
Mooney and yes, there is no such thing as a former Marine. Mr. Mooney gave his presentation on the
museum which he had a significant role in establishing in honor of the United
States Marine Corps on Arsenal
Island at the Reserve Center.
He shared with us a brief history of the Corps and included a number of
interesting vignettes on past engagements of the Corps, including the Civil
War, the Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, and World War I.
After
the program, the membership recessed for Easter egg stuffing.
