TODAY'S PROGRAM: Classification Talks - BJ Martin and Travis Elder

HARD TO HEAR: President John has been working to turn up the volume in the Showcase Building. Please help by letting him know if you still cannot hear. Also, please sit at the front tables that seem to be empty week after week. President John is soft spoken and trying hard to be heard. He purchased the sound system out of his own personal funds, if you have a better idea please let him know.

RAFFLE TICKETS: The raffle tickets we sell during lunch help to pay for our speaker and guest lunches. Since there are only occasional winners, and it seems that very few of us are purchasing raffle tickets we have decided to have a prize each week for the winning ticket. Purchase your tickets today and lets see who the winner is!

MEMBERSHIP MOMENT: Do you know a young professional? Bring them to a meeting or better yet, create a list and bring a group of young professionals to a meeting. Like ages attract, make your program one that is of interest to them. Recruit, recruit!!! Expose your club to a younger point of view.

PREGNANT AT 62: A woman went to the doctor's office where she was seen by one of the younger doctors. After about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched down the hallway back to where the young doctor was writing on his clipboard. What's the matter with you?" the older doctor demanded. "Mrs. Terry is 62 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?" The younger doctor continued writing and without looking up said, "Does she still have the hiccups?"
