Happy/Sad Dollars
Our visitor, Mark, put in a happy $5 because he was glad to be at the meeting with his friends, the Sopers' and Dave G.
Doug added a happy buck because he's on his way to Hawaii.
Ray was happy a dollars worth about Oregon's recent basketball win.
Another reason it pays to go to medical school. Benny was called to jury duty and after phoning in this morning found he had to report. He rushed to the courthouse, annnounced he had 13 patients scheduled for the day and was promptly released. He was happy to pay a dollar.
Happy Birthday
To Kristin. She opted to have the guests sing happy birthday to her.
Out 'n About
Dave G. and his son attended the Rose Bowl game. Having ownership of the fine-free badge for January left him exempt from paying any fine.
Chuck confessed to trips to Northern California, Disneyland and the dentist. He rolled the dice and paid a fine of $7 for all of this galavanting.
Speaker
We had 2 guest speakers today, Scott and Teresa Soper who shared their experiences on an 11-month trip to Africa. They visited many countries while there and consider Madagascar to be their favorite.
Their least favorite part of the adventure was, despite the numerous shots they endured prior to departing, the contracting of the dreaded Malaria.
Guests
In addition to the Sopers' we had a guest from the Downtown San Jose club, Mark.
Member Update
Ann reported that she has
spoken to Clark and that he
hopes to be back at the
meetings in a couple of weeks. His radiation and chemo treatments have ended and although he's lost 30 pounds he's doing pretty well.

Have You Heard The One About.........?????
A man and his pet giraffe walk into a bar and start having a few quiet drinks. As the night goes on, they get pretty drunk. The giraffe finally passes out near the pool tables, and the man decides to go home.
As the man is leaving, he's approached by the barman who says, "Hey, you're not gonna leave that lyin' here, are ya?"
"Hmph," says the man, "that's not a lion, it's a giraffe."
