BINGO & GAME NITES
The Bingo and Game nights will continue until the end of May. Bingo is on the second Saturday evening, and game night is on the fourth Saturday starting at 7pm. Nickel, dime, quarter poker seems to the game of choice, but if you would like, bring a few friends and get a game of your choice going… We were introduced to a new game called Left Right Center, It was a lot of fun. Let’s get some more new games going!
Corned Beef Dinner
We are going to have a Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner Sunday, March 15th. Everything will be provided, but if want a (special) beverage, please bring that along. The plan is to eat as close to 2PM as possible, do-do sometimes occurs so if it does we will deal with that.
ON-GOING PROJECTS We have no projects going on at this time. The outhouse project has been completed (almost) Bruce is still working on the tape and paint, but they are real usable, and have been appreciated by all, most especially the ladies at game nights and bingo. Quote," wow it is nice and warm in there".
Fate
There were two young men in this small village, who were always trying to get the best of an old wise man. They were never successful in getting one over the old man, so one day they devised a plan that would surly do the job. They would catch this bird, and one would hold it behind his back, while the other would tell the old man, "John is holding a bird behind his back, can you tell me whether it is dead or alive". If he answered alive, then he would snap its neck and show him it was dead. If he answered dead then he would show it to him and let it go. So they went to his house and executed the plan. When asked the question, he simply replied, "John, the fate of that bird is in your hands"
The moral of this story, is, "the fate of this organization is in our hands". Just sayin!
