Larry's Update

Well this week has been pretty much routine. Did the orders for the next two weeks on Monday. Had to make sure I had enough to cover all the special events that we have coming up. Tuesday had to make room for all the additional supplies. Our Tuesday night membership appreciation is still slow ,if it don't pick up I may discontinue it. Wednesday's Karaoke kind of slow, but fun. Thursday, as usual, a great hit with free lunch and Wham-Bam Bingo. Thursday night was monthly meeting time, will post minutes at end of the blog.  Friday night was a blast. I was informed at 6:30 there was no room in the parking lot,WHY, Queen of Hearts Draw. The reward was $4800.oo. The lucky person's to have a crack at capturing the
the Queen was Jim & Margit. Their shot was envelope # 3, my heart stopped when I saw  it was a red face card Jack of Hearts not the Queen. Next weeks reward $5100.00. After the Queen of Hearts draw Mark hosted Country night. We had a great turn out so he will be back on the 20th. About all that was happening on Saturday was the NASCAR races. Ist place on the $6.00 board went to Troy $125.00 and 12 points. Second place went to Chet $75.00 and he had two cars in the top ten for 19 points. The Leader board stays the same. $1.00 board winners were Jeanie and Mike H.  Sunday was the AlR Breakfast and their monthly meeting. Also the Post hosted the N0rthern CA Confederation of Clubs meeting all in all a busy day. Also Sunday morning Billy hit the sweepstakes machines for $410.00.
