We had a BUNCH of guys show up at Friday's meeting ~ so many, in fact, that an extra table had to be brought in!
We had a Board meeting at Ed Stoner's house on the 20th, and President Dave thanked Stoner for the use of his home.
Tim Miller had a check for his 100th birthday, 41 years early!
Friday June 8th has been confirmed as the date for our golf tournament at Mariana Buttes, 7:30 a.m.
Norm, our intrepid Sgt. at Arms informed us that he now has pins for all! Just ask.
It was brought up (incorrectly, as was pointed out by our speaker, Matt Fries) that Saturday was our 38th Anniversary. It turned out to be the 15th, not the 17th.\
Norm told us that the pot has built up to over $40, esp. since many guys are not winning the pot because they aren't wearing their pins! NOTE: It turns out that our own Randall Beaver won the pot last week, and generously invited us all to Ed's house for beer. No! Wait! I mean, graciously donated the pot to the Sertoma Foundation.
Ex-Prez Gary Ross made a motion that, due to a recent IRS ruling involving receipts being needed for a donation to be written off, Norm (our Sgt. at Arms) give receipts for each quarter put into the pot. The motion died for lack of a second.
If you've got a coupla' minutes, you should watch this amazing FOUR YEAR OLD!!!

Ed Caffrey spoke with Woody, and said he's getting better, and "sounded like the old Woody," but he's not yet ready to get out and back.
Norm told us how he happened to see a picture taken at Mariana Buttes on the first day of Spring. Seems Bill Green got snapped while swinging a club. Bill responded that he told the reporter his name was Brad Burns. The photographer replied "I know Brad Burns, and you're no Brad Burns!"

Terry Danielson told us that March 25-31 is National Boys & Girls Club Week. (I had NO idea!).
After speaking with the B&G Club Director, Kathi Wright, several of us met at the club this week and had our picture taken with the sign they made reflecting the $32K we've donated in the last five years.
With a little luck we'll get it published in the Doloradoan, and can get some name recognition for our generosity! |
John K. told us that he "finally got a check from Horsetooth Sertoma" to pay us for our efforts with beer sales. $5,850.
Frank Johnson brought up that one of our members (who shall remain nameless, CARL) recently wrote a letter to the editor of the Doloradoan to voice his opinion re: Linda Stanley and anti-growth. Frank so appreciated Carl's comments that Frank paid the fine for Sertoma not having been mentioned!
(By the way, you oughta' see Ed's place! WOW!)

Rock (who appears to have wintered just fine), bragged that on March 28, 1997, he quit smoking. It's now been 10 years! |

To whom it concerns:
A word to the wise. E-mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other municipality. To be acceptable petitions must have signed signatures and your full address. Same with "prayer chains" -be wary.
Almost all e-mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards All it was, and all this type of e-mail is, is to get names and "cookies" tracking info for tele-marketers and spammers to validate active e-mail accounts for their own purposes.
Any time you see an e-mail that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get good luck, or whatever, it has either an ! E-mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and e-mails of those folks you forward to, or the host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of "active" e-mails to use in spam e-mails, or sell to others that do.
Please forward this notice to others and you will be providing a good service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting 30,000 spam e-mails in the future.
(If you have been sending out the above kinds of email, now you know why you get so much spam!)

Are you confused about which is the best value from satellite/cable companies? Well, there is a website that will compare 3 in our area,
side-by-side!
Click Here: http://www.whitefence.com/directv-vs-dish.html
Rebuttal by Timmy Miller: Just so you know, the mentioned satellite comparison address in your last newsletter is full of crap. (Don't you think Timmy should learn to say what he feels??)  I ran my address and it compared all and recommended Comcast. Problem is Comcast isn't even in our area. But what the hell. Hey I don't normally try and market thru the club, but we are Dish dealers.... very small one. But all dealers, regardless of size, can offer exactly the same deal as any other dealer. If anyone in club is interested in a Dish system, I would be happy to shoot the $100 bucks we make (less our salesmen commission of $20), so $80 back to our SERTOMA Foundation. By the way...without a doubt, Dish has the very best High-Def program. And believe me, the industry has worked very hard at confusing the public on HD.
Editors Note: Straight from the horse's mouth! It's nice to have someone who knows what's goin' on! |

Nathan & Check
|
|
Here we have another new member to welcome! Not only THAT, but he presented us with a check for a year's dues IN ADVANCE!
We have seen Nathan previously when he came to us from Turning Point last Fall to tell us about his organization.
His background is fund-raising (!!), and is a "former vet who has traveled extensively".
“He has a love of his life, Jennifer Mae, and a 7 year old boy, Taylor” He also has a sister in Fort Collins, and his dad & step mom "might move here too", so he'll have lots of reasons to stay. When you see Nathan, welcome him to the club, as the Board officially voted him in on the 20th. |

EXERCISE
I've decided to start exercising on a regular basis--the following inspired me:
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can.. Try to reach a full minute, then relax.
Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then move up to 50-lb potato sacks, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I am at this level now.)
After you feel confident at that level, put one potato in each sack  (Thanks, Bill!
