A picture recently snapped of three (yes, THREE!) of our own. You might notice the conspicuous absence of trou on the middle guy.
Who IS this daring masked man (so to speak?) A hint: His first name begins with "Carl".

Dick Ziporlin tells us that, in April, he is planning a spaghetti sauce contest to be held on April 12th at the Elks Club. Bowling will be from 4 - 6, with a happy hour beginning around 5. This year, you'll need to sign up ahead of time to bowl, as lanes must be arranged for.
Speaking of Dick, Happy Birthday was sung to him at the Board Meeting on his 55th birthday. (??)
John Clagett tells us that he has two lift tickets available for Copper Mountain. They are left over from the ski trip ~ At $48, as I recall, they are at a hefty discount from the normal
Foam on the Range is every third Thursday of the month . . . that will be the 20th this month, so mark your calendars. We had about 10 guys turn out last time, with delicious nachos and cold, CHEAP beer!
Brad bragged on his receiving a phone call from Randy Beaver (while we were on the ski trip) inquiring as to where the spices, can opener, etc. were. Turned out the BIG GREEN TUB they were in had been put into use as a table, and NO ONE thought to look inside! Brad also had a comment regarding the disposition of a half gallon of Peppermint Schnapps, but that will go unrecorded.

NEW Sertoma Directories from Norm:
It's been suggested to me that I not keep these directories online
for just anyone to find. If you would like one, let me or Norm
know and one of us will get it to you.

Carl Glaser has a brag on Beaver, for NOT breaking the windshield of the bus this year!
Timmy Miller had a brag on Bill Brown for his recent article (with picture!) that appeared in the Doloradoan Editorial section explaining the water situation in regard to Glade Reservoir and the Poudre River. He also had a fine for him for not mentioning Sertoma when listing his qualifications.
(CLICK HERE to see the article)
Rebuttal:
Mr. Brown said the omission was intentional, and done in an "altruistic spirit", as he was willing to have HIS car bombed, but would not wish to put fellow Sertomans at the same risk. (He good naturedly coughed up a fine nonetheless)
John Knezovich reminds us that the club's 39th anniversary will be on the 15th (Saturday)! Of the 25 original guys, five are still with us: Bill Brown, Don Nelson, Bob Reed, Ed Stoner, and Everett (Woody) Wood.

Jay Gerdes
|
The Board (LAST month, if I remember correctly) voted in Jay Gerdes as our newest member. I finally caught up with Jay and snapped his picture.
Mr. G. moved here in 1978 from Colorado Springs. He currently is employed with Davinci Signs, previously employed with Gardner Signs.
He has a wife and two kids, one at CSU, the other at San Diego State.
Jay is the one who expressed an interest in joining "a Sertoma Club", and International emailed Bill Benton, who got in touch with Jay and got him to a meeting.
When you see Jay, shake his hand and welcome him to the club! |
John K. tells us of an opportunity to sell beer April 18th at Hughes Stadium for a KISS concert! Financial details are yet to be worked out, but it will run from 5:30 - 9 P.M. Mark you calendar, as Eric (Sedexho) was told that we could supply 30 - 40 persons to sell beer.
John Clagett kicked in the $100 he promised the club if the Ski Trip happened. Of course, he didn't have his checkbook with him (yeah, sure!), but I saw the check presented to the Board last Tuesday.
He told us that he will have a date in plenty of time for next year's trip, so we can plan ahead. He thanked the cooks, Dave Blomberg and Randall D. Beaver, in particular, for helping make the trip a rousing success! Brad Burns also deserves a big THANK YOU for supplying so much stuff! Seriously, without Brad's assistance, we would have been cooking weenies over cigarette lighters, while sitting in the snow. (picture THAT!)

Several of us wore shirts designed by Dr. John . . . few people had such an eloquent way of expressing their thoughts . . . .

Saturday morning I got up early, put on my long johns, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential down pour. There was snow mixed with the rain, and the wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'
My loving wife of 20 yrs replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?'
I still don't know if she was joking . . . .

Bradford (Mr. Sertoma) Burns had a birthday on Feb. 1, and bragged on that fact with a check to the Foundation for $65. Brad tells us he "loves being 65" ~ he says he's already tried out Medicare with a physical (and NO co-pay!)
Don Nelson "saw" Brad's 65 and "raised him 10". I believe he, too, had a check for the Foundation, for a little more than Brad's.
Wil bragged on his wife, Lou, who spent 10 DAYS in Jordan working on a Habitat for Humanity home there.
Conway bragged that he got back a while ago from a southern Caribbean Bluegrass Cruise!

At a meeting several weeks back, Wil and Ron were the lucky winners of golf balls, from a drawing! |

John Pharris had a brag on his son, Josh, who is living and working at
La Paloma Golf and Tennis resort, in Tucson. Josh called home recently, with story after story of hobnobbing with celebrities from Tiger to BJ.
Zach Wilson told us not too long ago how the Boys and Girls Club is moving ahead with their new Loveland building. He also told us that the breakfast we helped support by buying a table raised over $250,000! Now THAT'S a fund raiser!
Right after Zach's brag, Rob Allerheiligen announced that he "would be holding a breakfast the next morning", and he'd "sure like us all to come"! 
Bill Brown, the proud dad, bragged on his son who was recently one of the principle speakers at an International Prostate Cancer Conference in Vail.
Did you know that the Panama Canal is being widened and expanded? Bob Kopplin talked a few weeks ago about how his company, CH2MHill, an engineering firm, was chosen to be program manager for the 5.25–billion expansion of the historic waterway.!
CH2MHill stands for the original founders, Cornell, Howland, Hayes, Merryfield, and Hill, and, at any given time it employs more than 10,000 people, with thousands of projects active worldwide.

Not to be outdone, Frank Johnson told us how HIS son recently called and said "Dad, Obama just walked into the weight room".
Dave Armstrong then bragged on Bill Brown (sort of) saying "FINALLY there is someone successful in the Bill Brown family!"

Last week we had our City Manager of four years, Darin Atteberry, speak with us . . . . you wanna' talk about interesting ~ Except for the occasional political double talk, he seemed to really try to ask answers put to him. It's nice to hear from the source, on occasion, exactly what is (and what isn't ) going on in city government.
If you missed it, you missed a good one! |

What's In A Name?
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four
young mothers and their small children.
"You all have obsessions," he observed.
To the first mother, Mary: 'You are obsessed with eating. You've even
named your daughter Candy.'
'He turned to the second Mom, Ann: 'Your obsession is with money.
Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny.'
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: 'Your obsession is alcohol.
This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy.'
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, 'Come on, Dick, we're leaving."

STRESS
I am not sure exactly how this works, but this is amazingly accurate.
The picture below has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at the Mayo Clinic and later at Fletcher Medical Center in Burlington
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress will find many differences between the two dolphins .
The more differences a person finds, the more stress that person is experiencing.
Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may need to take a vacation.

BEER BASH (or Foam on the Range)
On the Beer Bash and fellowship happy hour, Pitcher's sports bar will be the place we will do this. Each 3rd Thursday of the month, we'll meet from 5 to 7, and the prices are excellent, I'm told.
Even if you don't drink, come for the fellowship. Soft drinks are available. There is also free pool, and possibly a discount on snacks in the future. The happy hour price of beer is $2.00, and house micro-brews are $3.00. (Updated 3/13/08)
