Jared Haugh, with yet another rousing prayer, led off the meeting which led him to say afterward "OK, it's time to pass the plate".. 

The usually reserved Cullan Duke had the honors to beginning the recital of the Pledge of Allegiance and he didn't disappoint us.

Jared Haugh, with assistance from Hal Broadwater, handled the 50-50 Card Draw. Eric Frese had the correct ticket but drew a 3 of Spades so the pot of $715 goes even higher this Friday.

Steve Peters was the Tail Twister and told a wonderful insane asylum Valentine's story. How the two were related is still not known. You'll have to ask him.

President Chuck Venvertloh took the opportunity to present his own art including a picture of the urinal at his workplace. I would be worried if I worked there and someone took a camera into the men's room.

He also asked the Club if his Vote for Chuck for Adams County Clerk sign was art as he held it up for all to see. Big time fine should be coming for that!

Chuck also mentioned the thank you card received from Alex Blickhan, one of the recent Character Champion recipients. The Club also got a thank you from the Salvation Army for our donation of 1200 Cool Whip containers for their holiday dinner serving.

At the recent board meeting, the Club decided to purchase a new flag to replace the one at Ellington School.

Doug Reed was the recipient of $5 for wearing his badge at the meeting.

This Friday's scheduled greeters will be: Dave Poland and Steve Wellman.

Also this Friday we are scheduled to have in our presence Kevin Curran who will be visiting us. Kevin, a former Quincy member, is currently a member of the Naperville Exchange Club.

For those who are unaware, if you bring a guest the cost is $10. Just pay Chis Parker at the front table prior to the meeting. If that guest is a prospective member there is no cost
