Marbelous Draw: Won by Arthur but the “magic” marble remained elusive.

Happy Bucks:
 
 
 
 
 
  1. Dave H. was happy that he was not required to participate in Jury duty.
  2. Gerd had a great Xmas, well worth the long flight to Regina, despite the daily temperatures of -30’s.
  3. Basil gave an overview of his three-week vacation to Jamaica with featured time at the beach and good food and drink.
 
 
Program:
Our annual “White Elephant” auction, masterfully led by Al raised $355 in support of club initiatives. Lots of fun was had by all in the bidding process.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Joke of the day:

Reginald may be 75, but he still thinks of himself as a ladies' man. Every Friday night, he dresses up nice and smart, slicks down his hair and heads off to his favorite club.

When he gets there, he walks up to the bar, sidles up to the prettiest girl he can find and says: "So, tell me, do I come here often?"
