Jeff Hata spoke about Nightmare on the Hill. Everything is in place and we need for our members to continue to sell tickets and try and get as many people as they can to our event.

Rich Stewart gave our joke of the day.

Bob Pazen said that he and Wendy had be traveling on a Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. John & Judy Masterson were also cruising at the same time but in the opposite direction. They had hoped to get together somewhere in the middle, but that never worked out. Bob said that about halfway the river was too low for the boat to sail through so they changed boats and continued on their trip.

Rich Stewart and Harriet Clune also were back from 2 trips. First they went to the East Coast to see the fall colors then they returned for a few days before heading off to Hawaii!!!

Husam Hishmeh also was on a trip to Seattle checking out potential colleges for his girls. Husam and family loved Seattle and said it was a very beautiful city.

Happy $'s: Rich Stewart, Bruce McGee, Bob Pazen, Jeff Hata, Alison Thompson, Jordan Eller & Juan Mendoza.
