1.
Greg
opened the meeting, a tad late….Drum Roll…1.Joke – said he
was low on jokes tonight (room erupted in an ear deafening applause!)  He actually forgot to read the
joke.  Then upon a newer member,
Roger Bacon, reminded him of telling the joke…. Poor Roger just
hasn’t learned yet!

2.
Scott & Renita were not in attendance tonight due to the passing of Scott’s
grandmother.  Our hearts and prayers
are with them.  So…. You get
stuck with Cindy!!  And Jim Cooper is re-“Cooper”ing from knee replacement surgery, So….  You

6.
“Easter with the Marines” was held at Camp
Pendleton on Sunday,
March 30th.  What a
heartwarming trip – for me, anyway.
210 hot dogs were served.
Joe and I had arrived prior to the caravan; I decided to fire up the
grill and have some dogs ready by the time the cars arrived.  All of a sudden, we looked up and there
was a line of about 60 hungry young Marines, drooling for a hot dog, for which
we could not turn down.  So…
let me tell you, Joe and I served up 150 hot dogs, no mustard, no ketchup, no
nothing, but a “Thank You, Ma’am”.…….. for which I answered, “Oh
No – Thank YOU!  Tom from Cypress Church forwarded a letter that he
received from a father of a Marine at Pendleton – Full of thanks for the
way our day led him!  CSS was able
to donate $305 to the Marines for gift cards, phone cards, etc.  Thanks to all that shared.
