 Th' Beave

Our own Randall Beaver spoke with us on Friday.  This excerpt from his website (above), just about says it all:
Tanzania is a country full of potential. Its citizens enjoy political stability, a growing economy, and some of the greatest wildlife reserves on the planet. However, it is also the fifth poorest country in the world, according to the CIA World Factbook, ranking even below Afghanistan and the Republic of Congo.
 


The Bathroom

Only about 60% of Tanzanian youth attend primary school, the first 7 years of education. The fees associated with attending secondary school, the next 4 to 6 years, are prohibitive for all but a small portion of the population. Those fees, approximately $600-$800 per year, can easily exceed the yearly income of a Tanzanian family.  Randy is hoping to do something about that.

The SOW (Sertoman of the Week)

OUR SOW:

1.  This Sertoman's marriage literally began "Our-of-Bounds", as this was the location of his wedding reception.
2.  This Sertoman has been shot 22,000 times!
3.  In 1962, this Sertoman watched Jim Lomborg of the Boston Red Sox pitch a no-hit game against the Chicago White Sox at the old Comisky Park.  He never could understand why the White Sox fans were such poor sports by booing their team for failing to get a hit instead of applauding the efforts of the Red Sox pitcher.  but, that's what Sox fans are all about (given that he IS a Cub fan)!
4.  This Sertoman is one of three club members who graduated from the same University.
5.  This Sertoman is one of three Sertomans to hold the same job; all three are left-handed.
6.  Morris Brown brought this Sertoman into the Club.
7.  This Sertoman once wrote that the Coloradoan was truly a "bland" newspaper, referring to the name of the then publisher, Dorothy Bland.
8.  This Sertoma has a daughter who is a master's graduate of the Yale Divinity School, and has a son in the master's program at the London School of Economics.  At this point, just about everyone in the room said "Ahhhhhhhhhhh", 'cause that was the tipping point.  Our SOW was guessed.  Do YOU know who it is?
9.  This Sertoman and another club member with both officers of the Interfraternity Council of the largest Greek system, with 57 fraternities).
10.  This Sertoman once took textbooks to spring vacation at Daytona Beach with the intention of studying.  They were really used as pillows on the beach.
11.  This Sertoman's  first venture into a Wal-Mart was with Tim Miller in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in order to buy party supplies for a Sertoma Regional Convention.
12.  This Sertoman regularly preaches about arranging and facing all bills at Sertoma beer events.
13.  Most recently, this Sertoman wrote a soapbox in the Coloradoan about the RTA, and regularly refrains from mentioning his association with our Club.

PAST PRESIDENTS MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT AT MULLIGANS, 5:30!!!

FOX HUNT

 

WHEN YOU ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE, LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD,

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, & SAY NOTHING!


 

Well, everyone may (or may not) be interested in knowing that we have a new, volunteer BEER CZAR.!  At the latest Board Meeting, It was determined that we would consider doing beer sales at Hughes Stadium again.  In the event that happens, John Clagett has stepped up to the plate for the six games we have this year.  Should we decide to accept this, we would be paid $70 each, per game.  Plus tips. 

Speaking of stepping up to the plate, Bill Benton has volunteered to be our United Way liaison, replacing Frank Johnson.  Bill says he's "had experience with United Way", so he can keep 'em on the straight and narrow.  Attaboy, Bill!

Do YOU know of any local charities in need?  If so, talk with Dave Blomberg about your idea ~ It seems that our requests have dropped somewhat, and we have money burning a hole in our collective pockets.

At our latest meeting, The Board voted to fund our Sertoma Foundation with $5,000.

Did I mention PAST PRESIDENTS MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT AT MULLIGANS, 5:30!!!  That's TONIGHT!

Did I mention how successful the Computer Round-Up was a last month?
As you can see, our intrepid leader kept us all on our toes with his ever-alert style of leading!
Leader #2 (lower right), with the help of his enforcers, kept all of the other workers in check.  (He was, in actuality, telling Larry where the beer was located)



You can always count on Timmy!


"The Enforcer"



The Beer WAS found!

 


We filled 'em!

                                                    REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

On that fateful day, March 6, 1836, Davy Crockett woke up and walked from his bunk on the floor of the Alamo up to the observation post on the west wall.

William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were there already.      

The three gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving steadily towards them.

Davy turned to Bowie with a puzzled look on his face and said, " Jim, are we landscaping today?"

 

  A concert in Ireland...

                                                       
At a U2 concert in Ireland , Bono (the lead singer) asks the audience for some quiet.

Then he starts to slowly clap his hands.

Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone...."I want you to think about something.

Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice from the front of the audience yells out...."Then stop clapping, ya asshole!"

   You Gotta' Love the Irish!

A Thief In Paris


A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.

 

However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, "Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the painting...I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh." 


(And you thought I didn't have De Gaulle to send this on to print this.)

 

Well, I figured I had nothing Toulouse.
