Rose Mary Kovacs and Doris
Allen enjoyed the Singing
Contest. The whereabouts of
Doris’ husband, Ken, was not
disclosed. The Finemaster took
proper note and aknowledged
Ken’s absence with a fine.
Lobster Fest Tickets were
given to each member. Every
member was encouraged to sell
7 tickets... 10 or more would be
even better. Members are expected to work the event, according
to President Aust. As it was with
the Cash Bash, the Lobsterfest
Proceeds finance club activities
in the year of Ali Danta.

How you doing? $20
Ken Allen Doris, it’s
nice to see you. Tell
your husband he owes
a fine for sending you
$20
in his stead.
Gaylord Whipple
Gayl, tell us a little
about your lunch today; you had quite a
time. Gayl wasn’t interested in either of
the choices today, so
he pointed to Mohan
and said “I’ll have
whatever he’s having.” So the waiter
brought out a big plate
of vegetables, and he
said “Really?” Gayl,
you are a pain in the
rear when it comes to
lunch.

Donna Lea Thanks
for being an ATM $20
LARRY THE LOBSTER - John Rizzo, Chair of the club’s
upcoming Lobsterfest, offered two choices for the title of
“Larry the Lobster”. He asked members to vote on which
would be our “official lobster” the choice being between the
Maine Lobster in his left hand or the “Rhode Island” on his
right. The club vote was unanimous in favor of Larry “I’m
from Rhode Island” LeDoux!
