Raffle:

Doug Johnson said we are starting over with $27.00 in the pot and 10 marbles.  Matthew Henry’s number was pulled.  He said, “It is because I am sitting next to Ted.”  Not enough luck; a yellow marble.

Joke of the Day:

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were standing looking at a prize cow in a field.
The Englishman says, “Look at that fine English cow.”
The Irishman disagreed, saying “No, it’s an Irish cow.”
The Scotsman thought for a moment and then clinched the argument. “No, it’s a Scottish cow – it’s got bagpipes underneath.”

Announcements:

Debi Zaft let us know that Kim Graves daughter had a baby girl.  Her name is Rose.

Jack Abercrombie was visiting today (so good to see him!).  He and Pris are moving to Manteca to be closer to family.  We already miss him!

Ray Giampaoli says we are up to 76 riders and $6800 in sponsorships. If you haven’t gotten a sponsor package yet, see him for one.  The club would like each member to find on a $500.00 sponsor.
