Charlie called the meeting to order, John Tata lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance, and Rennie lead us in the prayer. Dean (who dat?) collected the happy and sad fines. Recurring theme is welcome back Dean (mostly Happy $), and Let's Go Red Sox (mostly Sad $).
Claire won the raffle, but no Joker was pulled. The deck is getting low, so your odds to win are increasing! Attend the meeting and you have a great chance to win.
The calendar raffle winner was Ryan Hocker, the ticket having been sold by John Tata.
There were no membership updates.
