First, we lost our printing source and a long time supporter of the MN ALOA, E.L. Reinhart. They will be missed by all. So with that, I had to reformat the newsletter in order to print it myself. Also, in the midst of this, my service van broke down and had to be replaced. Getting the new van ready to use has been extremely time-consuming. We now send out postcard reminders of the upcoming meetings with a coupon for meals. If you would like to be on our mailing list, we need your current information so we can get them out in a timely manner. I am also creating a new user database so we can get data organized and easy to access for board members. Anybody would like give input on what we can do to help improve our newsletter is welcome to do so. Any ideas or articles will be appreciated and make my job easier and get newletters done more quickly. Thanks for any help. ‘Til next month.

My brother Alan and I still rode together in one service vehicle at the time. While we were driving on our way to a job make keys for a customer in Minneapolis, we took notice of a woman wearing a very sheer blouse walking along Hennepin Avenue. Upon arriving at the customer’s house, she was not there. Therefore, we went to serve another client. Alan and I then returned to the woman’s home. When the door opened, it was the woman we saw in the very sheer blouse who had been walking along Hennepin Avenue. I said to her “We saw you walking along Hennepin Avenue.” Her reply was “Are you sure it was me?” It was Page 4 USA Central Station Alarm Providing the highest quality monitoring available in the security industry. 380 Energy Lane, Suite 200 St. Paul, MN 55108 Hardware Specialist Lab, Major & Jet Gene Simon 1029 Hamlin Ave Flossmoor, Illinois 60422-1049 Phone: 708-799-8783 Fax: 708-799-4322 Email: ugene51@sbcglobal.net an effort for us to contain our laughter, but we did.

Right now, Keys Duplicated doesn’t copy vehicle keys, but plans to soon. As for Sunshine Locksmith, it recommends using a valet keychain to keep car and home keys separate because many vehicle keys can be copied. And, while it can be more difficult to get a good photo of a car key as you’re entering your vehicle, it’s still possible, Sunshine Locksmith says.
