Bob Walters tried for the Ace of Spades but only got a five so he won $10.00. Duane Day won the drawing for Little Genius for May and raffled the office off for $20 to Jim Purcell. Little Genius- Ralph Carhart paid for a plug as he is running for Honorary Mayor. Ted Darrow was fined $5.00 for the end of the rain. Jim Purcell and John Yetto happily fined themselves for their respective birthdays. Jeannie Maloney paid a happy fine. Other fines include Fred Rowe since he only has one teenager remaining at home and Maggie will become a grandmother in October. Charlie Blatchford’s grandson received an award at college. Ralph proved to be a “very kind Little Genius” Bobbi Pickett started our program by introducing our speaker Susan Lapsley. Susan provided an interesting insight to elections and the new technology on voting machines. Bobbi presented Susan with a “History of Fair Oaks”. |
