LAST
WEEKS PROGRAM
It was about the
Pancake Breakfast
on Saturday, March 13th, and the preparations
in getting ready for the day.
El Kidd announced the $1,240 was
collected from the sale of ads for the place mats. The cost
of printing the ads was $148.50. He gave appreciation to
members who had purchased ads.
President Winstead talked about ticket
sales in that members buy the 25 tickets allotted to them
instead of selling them. There is a need to sell them to
people in the community so they can be aware of the Club and
what it does in the community.
Frank Wells was the biggest ticket
seller and he told how he did it. He tells people how the
money is spent, then asks them to participate in giving to the
Club. Then he tells them about the Pancake Breakfast. Frank
keeps a list of people who attend from year to year.
Ed Melton told how Milt Livingston
and he appeared on early morning TV (really early) to talk
about the Pancake Breakfast. He said he didn’t realize how
old TV made him look.
El said when the Club used the armory
for the breakfast it cost $500. Last year the Club paid
Heritage Baptist $500 for the use of the facilities. After
talking to the lady in charge; for being a member of the
Church, she charged the Club $250. He gave a small amount of
money to the people who set-up the room.
Items for the garage sale were taken to the
Church on Friday between the hours of 2-5. Pam Eckerly,
Barnie Paulson and Milt Livingston was in charge and were
super sales persons. They even sold an electric stove and
just about everything except the kitchen sink. They did a
great job and everything was profit.
Hoyt Middleton, Chief Pancake Flipper,
had his cooks on the job at 5:00 a.m. He and his crew turned
out some fine pancakes.
Dick Bennett announced that tickets
for the Boston Butts were sold at the breakfast.
Ed Melton ran
through the assignments for the members. He said Jim Jones
was to assist in the clean-up by using some people from his
cleaning service.
After the breakfast all items left from the
garage sale were picked up by Faith Rescue Mission. Milt
Livingston had arranged for the pick up.
LAST
WEEK'S GUESTS
Michael Fritz, Jr.,
who has an outstanding attendance record, accompanied his dad
and granddad to the meeting.
ENTERTAINMENT
Al McLellan
turned philosopher and told some truths; some made by famous
people.
By the time a man is too old to watch his
step, his is too old to go anywhere.
The cardiologist diet is if it tastes good,
spit it out.
We could certainly slow the aging process if
it had to work its way through Congress.
George Burns said “It takes only one drink to
get me drunk, but I can’t remember if it is the 13th or 14th.
“Until I was 13, I thought my name was
shut-up”. Joe Nameth.
Bob Hope said, “I don’t feel old, I don’t
feel anything until noon, time for my nap”.
A
MEETING PLACE
At the next Board
meeting, the topic of a regular meeting place will be
discussed. President Winstead
said if any member had any comments,
he should contact him. He thanked Vince Cox for recommending
The Governor’s House. Vince eats lunch there often and talked
to the manager about the Club meeting there. The manager was
most anxious for us to eat there; he would like us to choose
the Governor’s House for our meetings.
President Winstead had talked to Mike Hill;
former manager of the Montgomery Mall Piccadilly Restaurant;
who is now manager of the Piccadilly on the Eastern Bypass.
He arranged for us to eat there. He arranged for us to eat
here today. Arrangements could be made to fit our situation,
he said.
George Worley commented if there is a
convention at the Governor’s House, it may exclude us from
meeting. There may be a space problem if rooms are full.
Vince said the manager said there would always be space
available for us.
Mike Fritz recommended we start at
6:45, so people who work could reach their jobs by 8:00.
