Click here to listen to golden oldies from one of the best oldies stations in the country. You'll be asked to watch a 10 to 15 second commercial for something but than the music will begin. Believe me it's worth it. Have fun.

REMINDER:  DUES ARE DUE FOR THE 2012 MEMBERSHIP.

The time for the next club meeting has been moved up to 6:00pm, because - - - it is time for our annual Christmas Party!!  It will be at TJ'S Pizza and will start after a short business meeting.  Pizza is on the club!!!  Desserts may be brought in by the members.

We’ll have a Yankee Swap!  Here’s how it works.  You bring in a wrapped gift of up to $15.00 in value.  Label that gift that it is for a man or for a woman.  A man brings a gift to be given to a man and a woman brings a gift to be given to a woman.  Did you get that?  A man brings a gift to be given to a man and a woman brings a gift to be given to a woman.  If you bring a gift that is suitable for either a man or a woman, label that gift for whatever sex you may be.  Did you get that?  A man brings a gift to be given to a man and a woman brings a gift to be given to a woman.  (Second Grade Mathematics applies – it don’t work any other way!)

Ok, then we all pick a number, 1 through X (the number of people there).  Number 1 draws the first gift, man if he’s a man and woman if she’s a woman, and opens it.  Number 2 draws next.  After opening it, he or she may either keep it or exchange with Number 1.  Number 3 can exchange with 1 or 2, and so on down the line.  When the last person opens and exchanges the last gift, we’re still not done!  This is when Number 1 (who ain’t exchanged nuthin’ with nobody) gets to see all the gifts and exchange with anybody!  It’s good to be #1!

MEETING ADJOURNED

After the meeting, the new Cruise Committee asked for ideas to improve the Five Points Cruises.  Lots of ideas were tossed around.  This will be discussed further in the upcoming January meeting. 

NEXT MEETING :  Sunday, DECEMBER  11th @ 6:00pm at TJ's
