Lion Tony, collecting happy bucks and fines.
Happy Bucks
Lion Pat had five happy bucks for the hay ride on Halloween in Elderwood, where he lives. This year, seventeen kids took part. They do the hayride because the houses are so far apart.
Lion Roy had four $5 bills, one for each game of the World Series that the Dodgers won; he added a dollar for Freedy Freeman’s grand slam and one for Melinda (a Giant fan) for her text congratulating him on the Dodgers win. He also had a happy buck because the word choke is now spelled JUDGE.
Lion John Parker had five happy bucks, one for the Dodgers and one as a fine for his phone going off during the meeting.
Lion Allen was happy the Yankees had lost the World Series. He noted that he was a fan of any team that plays the Yankees.
Lion Johnathan Ward was happy for everyone to be here today and that he was able to return a book he had had for some time to Melinda.
Lion Karen was happy to see the kids from the robotics team here today; plus, she was pleased that she went trick-or-treating with her grandkids and noted that one of her neighbors was giving out beer. (it sounds like her neighbors were the Coneheads)
Lion Mark was happy that the Dodgers were now world champions and that he was going to Coronado Island for a week. He also fined himself for not being at the club last week.
Even though Lion Melinda said we should stop with the baseball stuff, Lion Johnathan Ward said go, Rockies.
Zone chair Lion Johnathan Ward was our guest today.
