President Dick Metz also discussed the following:
Pheasant Ridge Country Club will be closed during the months of January and February and that Joe Adrignola has been kind enough to utilize his building at One Mill Plaza. This resulted in a motion made and accepted to hold our meetings at One Mill Plaza in January and February.
During the weeks of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (in January) and President's Day (in February), we will be meeting on TUESDAY those weeks instead of Monday.
Next week sign-up sheets will be passed out for dates of the Kiwanis Adult Christmas Party and the Children's Christmas Party.

Subsequent to the 50 50 drawing, three additional tickets were drawn for Pizza Hut gift certificates.

Marsh wins again!

That meant, Mike Marsh would draw the next winner. He promised if he drew his own number again, he would throw it back. And the next winner of the Pizza Hut gift certificates was....
Bonafide and Loughlin. However, since they don't like pizza (yea, right!) they turned back the prize in favor of another winner. And the next winner drawn was....
....no, not Mike Marsh but....Dan Feehily.
Roger Webster subsequently noted he can't eat pizza so he turned back his prize in favor of another draw. And the third and last winner of a gift certificate is....
....Steve Gorse
What's
better than pizza?....Free pizza.

Happy
Dollars:
Dick Metz gave a happy dollar for Roger Webster volunteering
at LRGH....and Roger Webster thanked Dick Metz and Dan Feehily for their
contribution to the recent blood drive. Steve Loughlin gave a happy dollar
because Joe Collie was able to do the bulletin this week.
Fines:
There were no fines.
Godspeed

The club wished senior member Jim the
the best as he'll be leaving Saturday for his Florida
home.
