Speaker
In lieu of a speaker today, the Board took time to meet. For this reason, there is no need for the Board meeting tonight.
Board Highlights
The BOD voted to participate in Cupertino's upcoming Jubilee. We will be buying and manning a booth to hand out brochures in the hopes of attracting new membership. It seems Richard volunteered to put together this brochure which means I'd better get busy. We will need lots of help with this 2-day event, so please sign up for a shift.
Richard presented the BOD with a proposal to give $300 to the Sheriff's Dept. for fingerprinting equipment. It was approved.
Chuck and Dale gave reports on our Key Clubs. Monta Vista's Key Club has been active over this summer.
Joker - Joker
So that's the key......As Nick purchased his raffle tickets today, he rubbed Richard's arm for luck. As it turned out, it was the right move as his ticket was drawn and he got to play Joker-Joker. His luck continued as he drew a pretty high card.......and walked away smiling with $9.
Have You Heard The One About??????
A woman received a phone call from her sitter that her daughter was sick with a high fever, so she left work early and stopped by the pharmacy for medication. Returning to her car, she found she had locked her keys inside and didn't know what to do. She called her home to talk to the sitter and was told her daughter was getting worse.
The sitter said, "Find a coat hanger and use that to open the door."
The woman found an old rusty coat hanger on the ground, then looked at it and said, "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God for help. Just then, an old rusty car pulled up, driven by a dirty, greasy, bearded man with a biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "Great God. This is what you sent to help me?" But she was desperate, and thankful. The man got out of his car and asked if he could help She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I must get home to her.
Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car? "
He said, "SURE," walked over to the car and in seconds the car door was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "THANK YOU SO MUCH.... You are a very nice man."
He replied, "Lady, I ain't a nice man. I just got out of prison for car theft."
The woman hugged him again and cried out loud, "THANK YOU, GOD, FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL!"

big day this week.
Miscellaneous Fines
Prez Dave fined member Dave $1 for complaining that he (Prez Dave) is not as agressive as the previous administration. That is likely because Kristin, it that house filled with testosterone, has to be agressive in her everyday life and brought that to her position as our chief. Although Dave's time as Prez is nearing an end, the challenge has been laid down and you folks may want to watch out in the weeks to come.
