Program 
We didn’t have a program today—maybe because our program chairman was basking in the Florida sunshine. In honor of the upcoming Easter Holiday, here is a Biblical history lesson from some real Catholic School children. Pay special attention to the spelling since these have not been edited.
  • In the first book of the bible, Guinessis. God got tired of creating the world so he took the sabbath off.
    Adam and Eve were created from an Apple tree. Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark. Noah built an ark and the animals came on in pears.
  • Lots wife was a pillar of salt during the day, but a ball of fire during the night.
  • The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with unsympathetic Genitals.
  • Sampson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.
  • Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles.
  • Moses led the Jews to the Red sea where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients.
  • The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert, Afterwards, Moses went up to Mount Cyanide to get the ten ammendments.
  • The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.
  • The seventh Commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.
  • Moses died before he ever reached Canada ! . Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol.
  • The greates miricle in the bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.
  • David was a Hebrew king who was skilled at playing the liar. He fought the Finkelsteins, a race of people who lived in biblical times.
  • Solomon, one of Davids sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
  • When Mary heard she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the Magna Carta.
  • When the three wise guys from the east side arrived, they found Jesus in the manager.
  • Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption.
  • St. John the blacksmith dumped water on his head.
  • Jesus enunciated the Golden Rule, which says to do unto others before they do one to you. He also explained, a man doth not live by sweat alone.
  • It was a miricle when Jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.
  • The people who followed the lord were called the 12 decibels.
  • The epistels were the wives of the apostals.
  • One of the oppossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.
Thanks Dave Bergin for taking notes!!!!

Greeter Schedule
Remember: Greeters (Be sure to take care of your duties that include meeting people at the door and getting the ticket money counted and divided with half going to Tami to give away and half to Diane for the social committee's budget). As greeter you have several duties. You need to arrive about 10 minutes early. It is your job to greet people, help them find their badges and sell them a ticket if they wish to participate. The money collected must be divided by the Greeters equally--half goes to the Current Club Treasurer and half goes to the Club President along with the bucket of tickets. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody if you can't. Call Patty Hartman.

Sertoman of the Day
Sertoman of the Day - Dick StoltmanDick “Red Baron” Stoltman was today’s honored Sertoman. Dick told us all the basic stuff about his life as an outdoorsman. He began his career in Canada at a fly in fishing site and went on to work as a Conservation Officer in St. Cloud for 4 years.

He had experience flying a plane in Viet Nam and was persuaded to go back in the air and spent the rest of his DNR Career as a Pilot. He was Minnesota Chief Pilot his last three years. After 28 years, he retired and was able to join a service club.

We were lucky enough that his relationship with Hopper lead him directly to us where we have enjoyed his humor and his hard work. His sponsor was Bob Nibbe.

Dick is married to Cindy Stoltman who works for the DOT, hence the sponsorship. He has two grown up children and one grandchild. Dick remarked, “Retirement is the best job I ever had but it sure is the busiest.” He also described himself as Cindy’s Sugar Daddy on a riding vacuum cleaner.

Dick is also involved with Kinship Partners and his encouragement to others to get involved was to remark, “Kids are a whole lot better to borrow than to have”. Dick did double duty today since he was the greeter where he saw more dollar action than he had since his “dancing” days. His hobbies of course include fishing, hunting, sporting clays, woodworking and travel.

Of Note
Congrats Dave Bergin, a child is in the near future.
Rumor Corner  -
  •  Joe Knows Florida
  • Mark Puschinsky prefers A1 over 57 sauce (just trying to cover up when he got into trouble for talking so much.
  • John Raboin has signed a contract to be Vanna White’s replacement on Wheel of Fortune—bets were made about whether or not he could reach the letters. Then the poor guy had to pay a Wienie fine for starting an argument with Val.
  • Did you pass or fail the Academic Decathlon Quiz?
  • Randy Hukriede volunteered to be the warm-up for our stand up comedian Dick Stoltman today. Dick didn’t need him-what a great off the cuff speech.
  • Welcome back Dennis Lutterman, Amy Doyle, Denny Benjamin, and Lisa Shattuck who wanted to know what a snack monkey was during Dick’s speech.
  • Thanks Jeff for the Sertoman education again today—we covered committees, sponsorship and the Flag Project.
  • Thanks Amy Doyle for handing out Rich Little tickets.
