MEETING NOTES
 
 

The meeting was called to order by Garry.

 

We welcomed Rodney T. , Joe and Sharon Gilmer and Bill and Judy Thomas to our meeting.

 

Garry mentioned that he had been getting emails about the Saturday breakfast / rides and the suggestion that we entertain the possibility of returning to the Rusty Wagon for the breakfast.  The Fairway Cafe and Babes in Ferndale were also mentioned. Garry said he would be checking them out for future reference.

 

Ron Robertson of the Bear Tooth Clan presented the coveted Bear Tooth Pass certificate of achievement award to Ken and Judy Valsonis, Pam Kamm and Ray Hunter.

 

Ron also reminded us of his email about support boxes for servicemen and women serving overseas.  It was decided that a $100 dollars would be donated from the club treasury to this good cause.

 

It was also decided that we would do the November Food Basket again this year.  We need to find some needy or deserving person or family, so suggestions will be appreciated.  Start bringing canned goods to the next meeting.

 

A gift of appreciation from the Chapter was presented to Betty Robertson .

 

Congratulations to Rick and Jean Seater on their 30th anniversary and Birthday (Rick's?). Rick would give no tips or suggestions for a long and happy marriage....darn.

 

Garry reminded us of the Leadership Training seminars in Moses Lake, October 5 - 7.  All members are urged to attend.

MISC.
 
A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady.  She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up.

After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this gesture about five more times.

When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady,
" Why don't you eat the peanuts yourselves?".

"We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied.

The puzzled driver asks, "Why do you buy them then?"
The old lady replied, "We just love the chocolate around them."
