Regular Meeting, May 28, 2008

After a 4-month hiatus, your editor is back on the job. I thought of ending this blog but was talked out of it by Mr. Schaefer. So if you have problems with that, talk to him.

Our meeting consisted on 18 members and one guest, Justin Rabel of Edward Jones in Eagle River, Wisconsin, pictured here with his host, Dan Dalquist).




Despite some (ahem) member's attempts to raise the ante, all tables contained at least a man and a woman. Boys, we'll have to keep our eyes open unless you want to pay the till.

Road Pickup on Saturday, May 31

(l to r: Kevin, Patricia, Jim Lowell, Tom liljegren, Peter, Andy, Frank, and yours truly.) Many hands made easy work and we were having coffee at Shelly's on a little over an hour. Andy and Peter fast at work on a cool, damp , unpleasant day.)


















Lots of activities this summer, enough to keep everyone busy.

PastyFest in July. We need fund-raising ideas.

In August, the Copperman race in the Harbor. We are looking for someone to assume the running position for the team. Tom Tikkanen is swimming, Dan (or is it Peter?) is riding, and Ed is no longer with the club. We need a runner so that the winning tradition will continue.


Two weeks later, the Tammies are in town and we'll be looking for members to house about 35 dancers. Also, we need everyone to get at the sale of tickets and advertising.

Almost concurrently, the Great Deer Chase will be held and they will need some monitors to direct traffic both at the beginning and end of the race in downtown Calumet.


Well, for what it is, there it is. It's great to be back!








(Terry, the new owner of the the Irish Times. The great food tradition continues. Thanks Terry.)
