Big and Little Sir Tidbits
The month of June has arrived, which means that
my term as Big Sir is quickly coming to an end. There
is still a lot of business that needs to be accomplished
before we reach the end of 2013. I will try my best to
complete the items on our agenda that need to be met.
Big Sir John Rizzardo
We need members to step up and offer their talents at the
executive level. We have a few members within the executive level who would
like to step down from their positions and pass it on to someone else.
We as a branch need to do more in bringing in new members. I have
been asked as your Big Sir, along with other Big Sirs, to attend a meeting on
June 11,1013 in Placerville to find ways to increase our individual branch
membership. Hopefully I can bring back some valuable information to help
in our recruiting efforts.
I would like to thank all of you who attended our annual picnic. I would
like to give a special thank you to those who worked so hard to make our picnic
a success. Those who did not attend missed out on a great time.
See you at our next meeting, June 19, 2013. Try to bring a guest.
What’s Happening
Menu: Beef/chicken enchiladas, rice, refried beans, salad, and dessert
Speaker: Bruce Maiman
Topic: The Media
Maiman. Bruce, aka Dr. Maimes, is a radio personality. Bruce has appeared
on KDON in Monterey, California, WKSE in Buffalo, New York, WKRQ
in Cincinnati, Ohio and KCCL in Sacramento. Bruce prefers to ask questions rather than pound the table with his opinion. The topics are broad
in scope but always with an eye for the human condition that surrounds
the many issues of the day. A native New Yorker, he has been a college
teacher, a concert pianist, a semi-pro football coach, a NYC cab driver and
currently, a pretty good cook. He lives with his family in Sacramento. I
think Bruce is going to talk to us about the news media then and now. How
we receive our news today compared to a few years ago.
The Picnic was a success.
See the summary on page 3
This is your very last chance to join in on the Folsom Spillway Tour on Wednesday June 5th. By now
everyone who e-mailed me to sign-up should have
received an e-mail with the directions where to meet
Little Sir Bob Schmidt and a Visitor Agreement form to fill out. If you didn’t
receive these items or if someone else would like to attend give me a call
ASAP at 916-257-3896. We have about 18 people attending the tour.
The next item of business is to announce our June Speaker. He is
a former KFBK talk host who is a Sacramento Bee Columnists, Bruce

Cordova Golf Course
May was a good month for the Jolly Hookers Fishing Club.
We fished Lake Oroville with great success. Next we were on
to Lake Shasta Lake for the three day house boat trip. Even
though we had to contend with the wind we had a very good
time of fishing, catching, eating and enjoying the good times;
past present and future. The May NDO is scheduled for Lake
Oroville on the 28th. On to New Melones for the June Derby and
Union Valley for the NDO. Thoughts for the day: No one is in charge of your
happiness except you. Happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something
we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Weekly Tournament Play
Every Friday except the last Friday of the month. Sign-up when you show up.
The last Friday of each month (except Dec & Jan) is designated as a Scramble Tournament for which sigh-ups are required.

Anything to pass!!
A blond student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall,
closes his door, kneels pleadingly.
"I would do anything to pass this exam."
She leans closer to him, flips back her hair,
gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean..."
she whispers, "...I would do...anything!"
He returns her gaze. "Anything?"
"Anything!" she says.
His voice softens. "Anything??"
"Anything!" she replies.
His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...
study?"
