Jared Haugh started us off with a rousing prayer followed by Les Sachs initiating the Pledge of Allegiance. Jared pulled double duty in handling the tail-twisting duties.

President Perry Terwelp reminded the members of it being Pearl Harbor Day. Hard to believe it was 72 years ago when the Japanese attacked the United States.

Perry presented Dan Niemann his membership certificate and also had a first reading of a new member prospect Cory Watson, sponsored by Dick Wentura who asked his best "good" question to see if Cory would like to join.

Charlie Ledbetter thanked all involved with the Give a Kid a Chance Foster Kids/Parents Dinner at the Quincy Senior Center. Several testimonials as to why we do that dinner every year including one from Carlos Fernandez, a first time attendee and one from Santa himself who had to defend himself from accusations of having his favorite beverage on his breath (NO truth to that)

Signup sheets were again on the table for the Spouse's Christmas Party which is set for December 21st at the Holiday Inn. The social hour is at 6, dinner at 6:30 and entertainment at 7:30 that evening. Make sure you sign up Friday if you didn't last week.

Chuck Venvertloh handled the 50/50 drawing with Jared Haugh holding the winning ticket. See what doing the prayer does for you. Jared drew a King of Hearts so the pot of $274 grows next week. Guess he didn't pray hard enough.

Not sure if we just forgot to do it or not, but we didn't have a second collection for our Exchange Club Christmas gift to our waitress, Jennifer. If you haven't donated be prepared for it this Friday. For the new members in the Club, we usually ask for at least a ten dollar bill from members.
