Vacations

        President Don went on a short trip to St Louis; Don went to see the International Bowling Hall of Fame while he was there.  (I guess that technically the vacation now is a deductible business trip. Am I correct Howard?) David Babson went to Martha's Vineyard once again.  Howard Frish needed a rest after his big trip to Russia, so Newport filled the bill.  Julie Geary went golfing in Vermont.  John Dagger went to Vermont, and Kevin McAveeney went to New York City for a wild weekend with friends.  Dave Stotzer once again visited Mt. Dessert Island in Maine.  Cheryl Collins Aparo took 4 days off to just work around the homestead. 

Happy Thoughts

    Don Sudbay Jr., was happy that the car that lost its front wheel in front of the Elks during last Tuesday's meeting  was not a GM or Chrysler product.  The car was a fine product from South Korea, the kind which unfortunately tends to lose a wheel once in a while.  Sinikka Nogelo was happy the Columbus Day weekend  Studio Tour held in town went well.  Sinikka was also happy her math teacher daughter is putting together a math dance team in her school. Steve Kaity was  a proud daddy once again today as his daughter had a perfect score on the math MCASS test, plus a high score in Advanced Language Arts.  Matt Langis was happy to have made a decision to  take his family to Boston's TD Banknorth Arena for the Big Apple Circus.  (The other choice would be a 2 hour traffic jam to get into the Topsfield Fair.)   Dan Ottenheimer was happy his parents were back in their home after a recent fire. 

  Fines

    President Don fined members who have not signed up to attend the Past President's Dinner. Club members who have not sent out a solicitation letter to a person for the Stage Fort Park Project were also fined.
