Prez Light Steve rang the bell at 12:15 - followed by the pledge, prayer (Chuck Watson) and 4 way test. There was not an empty seat in the house. It was nice to see some new, old and very old faces at the meeting.
Sunshine Saloukas spread some cheer today, everyone laughed - but I cant remember the joke
GUESTS AND VISITORS: Nick from Sunrise came back for a second visit today, Shawn Lenner, Ryan Keating (all guests of Jessica Johannsen). Brad Chavero-Correa (our Latino Scholarship Awardee from last year) came in to update us on his schooling. The Scholarship Committee did a great job picking him last year!
WELCOME BACK: Horton, unfortunately
HAPPY DOLLARS AND FINES: There were quite a few happy dollars and fines this week - unfortunately it is hard to run the meeting and keep track of them. With that being said, who will step up to the plate next year to pen the COGS?
NEW MEMBER INDUCTIONS: None this week. WHO WILL YOU BRING IN AS A POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER NEXT WEEK?
COLOR OF THE WEEK: We have revived color of the week and a lot of our members aren't reading the COGS - we took in quite a few fines. If you are looking under this heading to find out what the color of the week is, you are looking in the wrong place :-) It's in this issue somewhere - it may even be a color that you've never even heard of (HINT - Google can help you in this instance).

He is currently the Director of The Yogi Berra Museum baseball camp and the author or co-author of the best seller The Picture Perfect Pitcher, Hitting with Mike Epstein, and The New Rules of Baseball Instruction. Paul has served as a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates and coached in the Montreal Expo farm system. His pitching course is used by more pitchers than any other pitching training program ever created.
