Larry's Update

Monday has rolled around again. Did the cleaning, stocking and ordered supplies for the next 2 weeks all by 9:00 a.m.  The day went by pretty fast with nothing of any importance happening.  Tuesday Cindy worked for Donna who is enjoying spring training in AZ.  Got a call later in the afternoon that Dina was sick.  She was supposed to be covering Jays shift, so I came in and worked.  It was a long night.  Wednesday night was our Karaoke sing off.  We had eleven very good singers in the run off.   After two ties in the judges scoring, and two sing offs, Martha was declared the winner of the $100.00 and the trophy.  Dina and Jay were still sick so I worked again Wednesday night.  Thursday is free lunch day.  We had sausage sandwiches and soup prepared by Victor.  After lunch we played Wham Bam Bingo with Robert as the big winner.  Thursday night is our monthly meeting and again everyone was sick, so I covered the night again.  Following is the copy of the minutes

Friday I sat on a Committee at the State level Executive Board Meeting in Santa Maria trying to figure out how to best approach the over 500 posts in CA in playing Remote Caller Bingo.  If we can get this going on a large scale, it will be a great money raiser for all of those that choose to play.  Friday's name drawn to try his luck at exposing the Queen, was David Clauson.  His guess, envelope #51 revealing the 9 of hearts, no cigar.  Next weeks reward $1,200.00.  Saturdays celebration of life showed that Louie had a lot of friends.  Sundays big winner in our NASCAR pool was Mary for $125.00 and 12 points.  Dennis took second for $75.00 dollars and 10 points.  John "from San Jose" still leads in points with 23.  Don't forget all of the fun things coming up this week.  I hope all of you out there that have been sick are getting better.  Until next week "HUG " your loved ones, you never know how long you will be able to.
