Phil Bonafide was in the spotlight when Warren Mitchell passed around a picture of Phil from this past Saturday's antique car show. Warren felt Phil should be fined for his appearance with the Disney rodent.

50 50:
$17.00 won by future President Dick Metz (2009-2010) and Past President Howard Bacon (1957-1958). Past President Joe Adrignola (1993-1994) called the victory "an outrage." (See Joe's happy dollar comment below.)

Food Pantry Money:
Collection for food pantry raised $41.

Happy Dollars:


$1 from Joe Adrignola for finally not winning the 50/50 because he was afraid he would have not gotten out of the meeting alive if he had won (three weeks in a row).
$1 from Phil Bonafide because he went to a car show on Saturday and was happy that Warren Mitchell brought two umbrellas. Phil got the second choice.
$2 from Russ Beane, one because he has a new daughter-in-law and one because his son got married.
$1 from President Brian because we squeaked by with a quorum for tonight’s Board meeting.
