President Linda opened the meeting.  Chad recited the 4 way test and Todd gave his standard Invocation.  SAA Dr. Kim reported quite a few members in attendance and 4 guests: Bob Bedford, Andrew Leith, Alison de Muy, and Jackie Cox.  

Dr. Kim ran the draw today.  The odds were long and the pot was small, so not as many investors as usual.   Last week's big winner, Karen, had her ticket drawn twice.  Paul M was sitting beside me fuming, and was getting ready to use his military training.  Fortunately Karen lost both times.  Interesting fact: Paul has been in the club for six years.

 

Bob B brought our speaker, Alison, today.  And he expressed his appreciation for Paul T.

Paul T appreciated Pres. Linda.

Karen appreciated her win last week.

Jokester Paul M re-used a joke today about the job perks of a delivery driver.  I've heard it before so I can only give it a 7.5 laugh rating.

 

Paul M will be playing in the Portraits of Honour Hockey Game on April 5th at Shade Street Arena. Veterans, police and firefighters will be playing Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni. Paul has tickets ($25).

 

Sandra has tickets for the Cambridge Symphony Orchestra Fundraiser "Fiesta de Espana' being held at City Hall on April 27th. Tickets are $80 before March 31st and $100 after. Limited number of tickets available. See Sandra for more info.

 

Rena - Mennonite Central Committee needs volunteers for their "circles" to help homeless folks transitioning to independent living.  Both men and women.  The commitment is 2 hours per week.  If you think homelessness is a problem in Cambridge, this is a way to help.

Rena - There is going to be a basketball game sometime soon at Kinbridge (Duncan MacIntosh arena), followed by a social event likely at The Mill.  Details TBA.  Paul T is an avid basketball player so he announced he will be there.
