Larry's Update

Well its Monday  again. Had to place the orders for liquor this week. Youngs Market line is getting slower every week. Other than my people coming in to get their NASCAR picks, it was pretty slow. Tuesday was slow as well . Wednesday night with no Karaoke, I think they only served 5 dinners. Thursday, as always, was busy all day with free lunch and Wham Bam Bingo. Dave Dolan donated 2 red and 2 blue chips as well as 10 Queen of Hearts tickets for Friday. Jackie gave back a  red chip that she had won last week. I kicked in another 5 Queen of Hearts tickets so we had a lot of Bingo prizes. Thursday night was monthly meeting night. It is pretty sorry when you only have one member other than the board that showed up. Will post the minutes at the end of the blog.  Friday was a blast. We must of had at least 125 people present for the Queen draw. Duayne Plummer was the lucky person to try and collect the reward of $6,500.00. His choice of envelopes was #53 holding the 5 of diamonds. During the week we sold $1,450 dollars of tickets allowing us to raise the reward to $7,200.00 for Friday Oct.11th.  After the draw for the Queen,  Marc will be hosting Country Night. Saturday night we had a great band "Triple Creek".   I don't understand the lousy turnout. Everyone wants the Post to hire entertainment then no one shows up to justify the expense.  Sundays  breakfast went pretty good. The NASCAR race was very exciting with a lot of cautions.  At the end, Mary cleaned house by winning both first and second place for a total of $200.00 dollars and 22 points.  Jeff and Abel each won $40.00 dollars on the $1.00 board. Jeannie still holds a 5 point lead in the overall point race.  Don't forget Ellen and the Ladies Aux. are having their parking lot sale on Sat. October 12th.  d Come and check it out and have a Breakfast Burrito.  I did write a check for $500.00 on Thursday to Monterey Bay Engineering so that they can get started on preparing the necessary paper work for the permits required for our retaining wall.  We paid out over $1,700.00 this week on the sweepstakes machines.  If you haven't tried them , do it, you may get lucky and have some fun.
