From the President
I would like to tell the club that I am half way through my year and am very happy that we have 10 new members to our Club. I am still trying to get a member myself. There are several more possible members, that I am aware of. I would like everyone that has not brought in a new member this year, and those that have are welcome as well, to try to bring a guest to our 2nd meeting in March.
I (WE) received 2 citations at the recent district meeting out of 3 given, for membership. The district is actually down 47 members in total. So you can see, we are being noticed. If we can bring in some more members, the next president will have a great team to work with. You must admit, these new members have helped alot, both with the beano coverage and with the added enthusiasm at meetings.   Let us bring in enough new members so that when the snobirds return, they think they are at the wrong meeting when they see all the new faces.  CLUB: Thanks for a GREAT START.

Lost Pot
At the February roast beef dinner, it was discovered that we are missing the bottom of one our big double boilers from the kitchen. The pot is used at every roast beef dinner, and was used at the Boy Scout dinner in December. The caterer assures us that he did not accidentally take it with his stuff when he cleaned up after the first dinner meeting in February. We made some phone calls, but no luck. If you have accidentally taken the pot home, or used it for something and forgot to return it, we desperately need it back. I thought I saw someone loading stuff into a pot at the end of the December dinner, like they were carrying things to their car in it. If anyone else can remember anything, please let Len know. Thanks.

February Board Meeting Snowed Out
As you all know, this has been a cold and snowy winter. On February 10^th and 11^th we had a major storm, so the board of directors' meeting did not happen. We did hold a special directors meeting at the end of the February 17^th spouses night to vote on the Easter Egg Hunt funding. It was decided that we donate $300 to Scarborough Community services to help with the community project.   

World's Stupidest Criminals
Burglars who broke into the home of David and Marilyn Laidler in January 1994 ignored VCR's, computer equipment, and other valuables, and went for the money box full of one pound coins. At least that's what they appeared to be in the dark. In fact they were chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil. The coins were found in the garden of the house in Jarrow, England, where they were found scattered in disgust as the burglars fled.
In June 1995, in Hammond, Louisiana, Mike Cyprian ducked into a restaurant to make a phone call in the early hours of the morning. He left his car with the engine running and his nine-foot python lounging uncaged inside. When he came out of the restaurant, he saw the car I a different spot, an a man running away.
In March 1987, Edward Williams of Houston, Texas, was fined $10,000 and put on 10 years probation. He had formerly been a storeroom supervisor at Houston's Jefferson Davis Hospital, and he had  been convicted of stealing 79,680 rolls of toilet paper. No-one knew for sure what he'd done with the purloined paper.
