Announcements:
Keith: 
    The dinner meeting was a great success even though members' attendance wasn't the best (basement pumping, Ed). 
    There will be a spaghetti dinner at the high school on April 22 from 4pm to 7:30pm. Proceeds go to HEAT (an organization that provides money for people who need assistance. This is the 2nd dinner this year.
    We need new members to replace a few that we lost. Please keep this in mind and think of someone who would be a candidate to join our club.
Brent: 
    Brought us up to date on the Golf Tournament which is May 27 at Portland CC. Details are on this website under the ACTIVITIES Heading. We decided to raise the price to $150 for the first time since we began the tournament. Pictures of last years foursomes will be out in 2 weeks.
    We need new members

Treasurer's Report: Paul Moore
    Paul handed out the most recent spreadsheets and reported that the club is in good shape though we paid out more money than we took in for the dinner meeting. People who signed up but didn't show up are asked to pay their share.
    On the Foundation side, we may have to liquidate some assets to meet our obligations. Income from the golf tournament would replace what we take out. Otherwise, things are alright.

Funny of the Day:
    A surgeon, an architect and a lawyer are having a heated barroom discussion concerning which of their professions is actually the oldest. The surgeion says, "Surgery is the oldest profession when you consider that God took a rib to create Eve, and you can't go further than that." The architect says, "Hold on! In fact, God was  the first architect when he created the world out of chaos in 7 days, and you can't go further than that!" The lawyer puffs his cigar and says, "Gentlemen, gentlemen - who do think created the CHAOS!"
