Dick Wentura initiated the Pledge of Allegiance with an enunciation of the word "I" that sounded more like "Eye" instead. I have no idea what that means.

Bruce Broemmel fleeced the flock as the Tail-Twister telling a golf joke with God ending up giving a golf tip. Had to be there. Bruce nailed Eric Schultz for an extra buck after a reference to Bruce looking up to God. Had to be there. He also took advantage of his authority to settle up with Gary Farha for Gary's insertion of Bruce's face in a recent Meth presentation at the Club. Had to be there. There is a pattern here. You need to be there!!!!

President Curt Moore read a thank you letter from the Hearing Impaired personnel thanking us for our holding the annual Hearing Impaired Christmas program but no one heard him. His letter reading interrupted the tail-twisting that was going on which is a violation of the International Tail-Twisting Association. Like the NFL, that violation "deflated" the tail-twister for just a second, throwing him off of his game somewhat. He did recover nicely though.

After a week's hiatus, the 50-50 card draw was held thanks to Brian Koch. Brian Musholt's ticket was drawn but since he wasn't there this week we drew again and Kevin O'Donnell held the correct ticket. Kevin drew a 3 of Hearts. Apparently Kevin is much better at killing pests than drawing cards. He didn't kill the contest, so the pot of $804 continues to grow.

A long overdue thank you goes to Dennis Koch. Many people come up to me to comment about the bulletin but few know that I basically take a picture of our guest(s), the notes and write it each week and turn it over to Dennis who handles the layout and distributes it each week. He also adds the historical features of the Club from time to time as well. Thanks Dennis for what you do each week in keeping the Club members informed.
