Secret Greater

Lion Tom Link was our secret greater today and was able to roust up a few dollars from several of us who did not shake his hand.

Happy Bucks 

Lion Brent, who is a SF Giants fan, had a happy buck because he converted to a Dodger fan. Now I really wanted to just leave this story here, but the rest of the story is that his son is on a LL team, the Dodgers.

Lion tom Link was happy to see Alberto from CASA here today as he is a retired CASA advocate.

Lion Pete was happy that his wife bought a new refrigerator that “almost” fit into their kitchen. Luckily the carpenter who remodeled their kitchen a couple of years ago came back and fixed it so it really did fit.

Lion Bob Line was happy that his grandson was the best player on the undefeated Mt. Whitney High School basketball team.

Lion Karen was happy that she is going to have a new granddaughter in a few months.

Lion Pat was happy that his daughter in law is expecting.

Lion Vicki was happy that her husband is doing well, she was also happy for all the handsome men that were at her table.

Lion Allen was happy and sad at the same time. Happy because he was going to Puerto Vallarta with his sons for a vacation, and sad because he will be missing the SuperBowl party for the homeless because of it.

Lion Brent fined Lion Allen for being out of town during the Super Bowl party for the homeless, an event Allen organized. 

Lion Brad and Allen teamed up to fine Lion Vicki for excluding them from the hansom comment. 

Lion Dee fined Lion Bob Line for keeping quiet and not saying a word about his golf game this morning when Link had talked bout having two pars.
