This & That
Eldon Townsend had the winning ticket in the 50-50 raffle. However, he drew the 6 of diamonds. The pot grew to ... Oh, whatever the hell Chuck makes up. Does anybody really know?
Jared Haugh led the club in prayer. Mike McLaughlin actually got out the words "I pledge" before the rest of the group caught up in the pledge of allegiance. Has anyone ever considered just having the president utter the word "I" to start the pledge each week?
A Board meeting was held at 11:45 am Monday at the Pier. Just in case you thought you wanted to go. Which you can't. You've already missed it.
President Perry Terwelp noted that Jeff Dorsey, who normally puts together this newsletter, was in Florida at Spring Training. When it was announced that the Cardinals beat Dorsey's beloved Yankees 7-6 during the Big Dog's visit, it was followed by a round of applause.
As the meeting broke up, Jared Haugh quickly reminded everybody that the Burger Bash social is set for Wednesday, March 20 at Cedar Crest Country Club. Sign-up sheets will be available at Friday's meeting.
Our thoughts and prayers go to Steve Labs and his family on the loss of Arthur Labs, Steve's uncle who passed away earlier this week.
Also: Here is your Big Dog invitation to come watch the 27th Annual St. Patrick's Parade this Saturday at 11am from 12th to 5th on Maine Street. |

Line of the Week
"I see you got Ray's gift of height."
- President Perry Terwelp to Gabe Nytes, a QND student who was named the Student of the Month and reportedly does a pretty good imitation of former QND principal Ray Heilmann
"Draw my ticket, and I'll make my car payment."
- Mel Dillman after Vice President Chuck Venvertloh picked Mike Hayes, president of the Bank of Quincy, to pick the 50-50 raffle ticket |
