In preparation for Larry’s retirement from the police force in November, Pat presented him with a new “hat” to collect Happy$. Ha ha!
Kent donating uniform shirts to Laird School in the Club’s name. The school is now finished… ribbon cutting is on the 28th – all are invited!
Dona missed us, has been working very hard on getting her health back.
Mike.. (not sure what happened there, but his $$ did end up in the boot, er – hat.
Sue is happy to be back visiting us. Bill – putting all the money he has on him not to have Pat come again! LOL! (really enjoys being here). Said he’s visited many different clubs/organizations and likes us best. (Well, yeah!)
Larry really appreciates all the club has done to support him and the police in general. Going to his grandfather’s 90th birthday in Portland. Wow!
1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to All Concerned? 3. Will it Build GOODWILL and Better Friendships? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to All Concerned? 5. Is it FUN?
Karen – happy that the toy drive – Christmas In July – is going so well at her office. Everyone is very supportive!
Pat took his daughter out for her birthday and had a really nice evening. Very happy that he has a professional photographer lined up for his Christmas events. His granddaughter scored a basket in her last basketball game.. against kids older and bigger than her!
Geoff happy that he got home last night amidst the airline fiasco. Finally made it home at 1:00AM (and then made it to our meeting at 7:-ish AM!). Has been about 10 years since he’s been in DC and security has definitely beefed up.
Ben – roasted just about everyone in the room!
