“Return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear”

HEAR! – HEAR! TED HEIM! – Friday afternoon we were pre-“Star Treked” transported back to those golden days of radio, when Wally Balou roamed the streets of America talking to the “common folk” about life in small towns and big cities. Cranberry Bogs and dog grooming, were just a few of the “topical topics” the master of the muted interview regaled us with as he moved up rural roads leading to Lum & Abners Jot’um Down Store and the main streets of Duffy’s Tavern and around the corner to Allen’s Alley, in New York, N.Y. And one of the most wonderful things is we all left the meeting wanting, wishing and hoping Ted will soon help us re-visit Bob & Ray.

JOAN WAGNON – will be our speaker this coming Friday. Please join us for food, fun and fellowship.

FLIP THEM PANCAKES…and pass the butter and syrup, while piling on the flapjacks, sausage and all the other goodies! Saturday, April 28th will be our next Pancake and baked goods sale. We need your help. A lot of us have signed up to help with the first shift but we REALLY need some help with the second shift - 9:30 to 11;30. We will be passing the sign up sheet again this Friday, also sell them tickets.

Mrs. Monica Kasten’s won the ticket split. Stan Dennis’s badge number was pulled from the hat, but no Stan – And Ted Heim won the attendance list shout out.

 “The Alchemist Pot”
“ Redistricting – Cooperation – Taxes”
April 27, 2012 Vol. 1 No. 26


JOAN WAGNON …State Democratic Chairwoman, visited with us about various issues facing the State Legislature during the current wrap up session. Redistricting being one of the main topics. Both State and Federal boundaries have yet to be finalized, and until this is achieved it is difficult for both Republicans and Democrats to recruit individuals to run for public office. Taxes were another area of concerns and the impact to schools, corporations and individuals sparked some later discussion. Joan also pointed to past years when it seemed members of the State Legislature were more inclined to work together in order to govern. Thank you, Joan for your insight and time.

JAIL…Eve Kendall will be our program this Friday. It should be most interesting and informative. Please join us to hear about “far away places” that we hope to only hear about and NEVER VISIT!

PANCAKES – SAUSAGES -HOT BISCUITS WITH GRAVY…Thank you to all who showed up to help with our clubs pancake feed, last Saturday. Be sure and turn in your ticket money.

Don Lee had the winning ticket. Tom Wigley hit the “daily double” by having his named pulled from the badge box and for having his named called from the attendance sheet.
