Larry's Update

Well it's that time again.  Mondays are usually really slow.  This week was no different. Everyone did come in and get their spots for the last week of NASCAR. Tuesday, Joyce and I got the shopping done for the week, also got all the supplies put away.  Wednesday was Karaoke Night, not too bad for a night that was not part of a contest.  Thursdays are free lunch and Wham-Bam Bingo, again Dave Dolan donated $20.00 worth of Queen of Hearts   tickets as a prize . Thursdays are also free pool nights.  Friday nights dinner was outstanding, thank you Victor.  The rumor that the twin sister of the Queen is terrorizing the cabinet is true. We had over 400 attempts to try to capture her with no success allowing the reward to increase to $2,200.00. Saturday was a fund raising event sponsored by SAL.  It was a great Day.  They had 39 Tri-Tips and were all sold.  There was also several raffles and silent auctions with all proceeds going to the fund raiser. Sunday was the final NASCAR race of the year.  We all now go into withdrawal until Feb.  To make the day a little easier we gave away a lot of money.  Jeannie was the big winner $1,000.00 for the points Champ. Second place went to {San Jose] John for $300.00.  3rd place went to Joyce & I for $150.00, and Mary $50.00 for 4th.  Monk was the big winner on the $20 board for $500.00.  Second place went to Dennis for $150.00 plus $50.00 for leading at half way.  Pinky $50.00 for 3rd. Jeff scored $50.00 for finishing 15th.  David Clausen $125.00 and Lou $75.00 on the $6.00 dollar game. The two $1.00 board were won by Mike H &   [San Jose] John
I would like to share with all of you a very humbling  poem that was written and presented to me by Ellen

                                             SILENT  COMMANDER
Larry, Larry, Larry unique in so many ways.
You BUST your Ass to the max each & every day
To top it off: you do all the work for free
At the Prunedale American Legion Post 593

Constantly turning is your mind
Never stopping, having to rewind
Rushing here & there, where do you go first?
Permits,  groceries, orders, & quenching member's thirst

Listening to complaints & bitches
Keeping peace amongst all the witches
Creating fun ways for the Post to make money
No matter the weather: being gray or sunny.

Two of your children, Queen of Hearts & NASCAR
Weekly, keep the members spending at the bar.
In today's world, there aren't enough "THANK-YOU'S"

I,  for one "THANK-YOU" & think you're the best.
On vacation, I hope you get some well deserved rest.
