     Club News

Thank You Charlene Glynn for taking notes!

     President Jim gave out  a reminder that revenues from fines go to club's scholarships, so be happy about them!  The seat belt fine alone (with the same pigeons paying every week) will be one scholarship by itself.    The Holiday Party will be on Wednesday, December 14 at the Cape Ann Bowling Lanes. Santa is scheduled to be there!

Winners and Losers...  No won the beverage of choice.  John Dugger won the money, and nobody won the flowers.  No winners today in the card raffle.

Speakers....  Gary Rickard spoke about his vision for a new  type of automobile license plate which glows in the dark and can be read backwards (rear view mirror identify).
