I gave out 3 makeup cards before the meeting got started. ( I would be happy to do this every week)

All the dues have finally been paid.  Thanks to all of you.

The Student of the month was Tom Raynor as I mentioned and he received a certificate from our club.  We are waiting for the frames to come in and will give it to Janice to give to Tom when they arrive. He is a very nice young man who is president of the Interact Club of Center Moriches School.  He told us about their Interact Club adopting a Troop in Iraque, and that they send them things like Gold bond Foot powder for their boots etc.  So Muriel is going to get them a case to ship and they also needed funds to mail each troop member a T shirt - The Shirts cost $459.00 so the Sergeant's report raised that much tonight with Paul doing the collecting.  So Tom Raynor had a very successful evening at our club.

Next week Ed Wesche will do his Bio.

The Program on Oct. 26th will be Michael Fox who went to Brazil as an exchange student and he will talk about his experiences.

President Bob passed around a sign up sheet for the Spooky Walk parking lot for the 4 nights. I will list them.

Spaghetti Dinner April 19th.

Sunday was the Miniature Golf game.  We all had a good time, I played two rounds and won two prizes.  Barbara's friend Caroline provided Hot Dogs and rolls and cooked them by herself.  She is a Kwianas club member.  That was very very nice of her to help our club.  There were a lot of T signs and Barbara's son had them made up where he works.  They can be reused next year.  Thanks Barbara for all your hard work and that of your helpers including the Interact, Thanks Janice.
