This week's meeting is devoted to a review of your roles at Midnight in the Tropics fundraiser on Saturday. ALL HANDS ON DECK!
You don't have a role to play, you say? We still need a few decorators 9 am and a couple of money runners (rum runners?) for the night of the event according to Mary St. Pierre and Brenda Ochodnicky.
(By the way, the 50/50 drawing is now up to... $150+ with a brand new deck, less 12 cards - that's nearly a quarter of the deck gone!)

[By the way, the phrase that pays is "Searching for my lost shaker of salt." First person to shake my hand on Friday and repeat this line from Jimmy Buffet's famous song, will win a margarita.
