RECOGNITIONS

 

President Daryl tried to recognize Bill Apger and Andy Farrar for birthdays this month.  When Bill pointed out that his birthday is not in January and the calendar on the Club’s web site is in error, Daryl tried to fine your editor for the error.  However, your editor’s calendar is correct and a copy was given to Daryl last meeting.  It is not the calendar on the web site.

 

Anyway, it was Andy’s birthday and he offered to pay $20 if Bill Apger sang “Happy Birthday” to hims.  Bill did.
