    Fine

     President Jim once again gave out a seat belt fine, and once again the same "pigeons" donated to the cause.  Remember  - wear those seatbelts to the meeting, and always. Seatbelts save lives!

Winners and Losers...  No winner of the beverage of choice.  David Olson won the money, and Bob Ryan won the flowers.  No winners today in the card raffle.

Speakers.... A representative from the offices of Campbell Trial Lawyers gave a presentation of the dangers of having underage drinking going on in your home or when procuring a hotel room.  The legal ramifications are as deadly as the loss of life that occurs when enabling these parties.
