Bulletin
July 19, 1999OH PIN EEN SALVO
On this date, July 19, 1999, at precisely
12:30 (only a past school administrator could evidence such
precision) Prez. Pat (left) cautiously approached the now found bronze and gave it
a slightly subdued but nonetheless audible rap thereby bringing order to the order.
What we were later to find, there is a valid explanation for Bob Marigo's achieving
a "flatline" state during the program. More to follow.
Some wily prankster moved the flag to the other side of the podium/stage
area. Many a member commenced the tribute to Ol' Glory while staring at an empty
corner, filled only by the presence of Bob Harris's nifty shirt-pant combo.
Anyway, Bob Zeni finally spotted the crafty cloth and led us out the valley of
confusion to the Zeni zeta state of enlightenment. Question of the week: Is
the U.S. flag properly placed on the left or to the right of the stage, from the viewpoint of the attending masses?
Arnie Carston (right) was called upon to give a Rotary moment,
which naturally floored him. Robin Marrs introduced a few visitors, seven in
number and most of whom were not from the Order of the Ancients.
NOWNZMINTS-- Hoebunchofum, so listenup!!
#1 Last week we chipped in for donations to the
American Cancer Society cuz it was proper under the circumstances. It was
reported by Bob Harris (below), our man in money, that we raised $780, when in
fact, the correct number should have been $912. Provides a good explanation of Bob's
nifty shirt-pant combo. (Read "Thank You" letter below from Becky Lunders of
the American Cancer Society.)
#2 Chuck Stark announced that the first
ever in a long time joint social of the Quad Club would be held in late September.
No fundraising, politicking, soliciting, etc. Of course, the Hendersons will
all be there, so stay turned.
#3 As a result of number two above, the club will
be dark sometime around then. More to follow.
#4 Pete Lamonica stood up and asked Louis
Capuano to stand up. Louis auctioned, not raffled off space on the back of the
Crab Feed tickets so that members could advertise, something our club traditionally frowns
upon unless it generates money. (Kind of like the state and its attitude about gambling,
"it's sinful and morally wrong, unless run by the state") I digress.
So what else is new! After the dust settled, Cal Fed took the honors by ponying up
$550.00.
#5 Minutes of the Board of Directors meetings
will periodically show up in the bulletin to hopefully convince all that something
meritorious does occur monthly.
#6 Janet Codding, active in Kid's Street
Theater, advised that A Cigar-B-Q was going to be held on 8-8-99 at the Rodney Strong
Vineyards. Smokes and booze will be provided at a rate of $65.00 per person to
benefit the kids. It was at this point that Mike Moore, who heretofore had
only been seen squirming and engaging in tongue biting, could contain himself no
longer. A pattern of structured raillery followed. In the case of Janet's
announcement, Mike countered, "Let's set an example for the kids by smoking and
drinking." For more, visit www.cigarbq.com.
#7 Caroline Fox is the new assistant
bulletin editor, taking over for David Bjorklund, who is in Katmandu, studying
eastern philosophical computer design, manipulation and installation for the "want to
do this for a living" set.
#8 Jim Valinoti discussed the
web/bulletin/digital pictures and related topics. More raillery by Mike Moore
resulting in an impromptu skit twixt the two, albeit fatuous.
| WHIEMEE (aka I never did nothing) DEPARTMENT Richard Standard got his
"has been " badge and Prez. Pat got her I'm the prez badge. Poor
Richard was tapped for $25 as a result of this mandatory transfer. Neil Silverman
was going to be fined last week, but wasn't. Same thing this week. The more he
stays away, the more things stay the same. Rich Pratt went to Peru for nearly
three weeks. Saw the mountains, saw the jungle, saw the great people, saw the $25
fine, saw it upped to $40 when he threatened us with a slide show.
PROEGRAHM -- "I Married a Theta and Learned to do the
Squawky Chicken," subtitled "Bob Marigo Explained"
After an
introduction by Marc Matson (further below), Talia Shafir, MA (above),
delivered an absolutely delightful address on hypnotherapy, fact and fiction. We all
have been hypnotized at one time or another, in fact many times. Driving long
distances, listening to music, meditating, or in the case of Bob Marigo (below), listening to any presentation of more
than 42 seconds in duration. It's also akin to the Greek system at many
universities. You have a Beta, who being logical, can never associate with a
imaginative Alpha. Nor can a decision making Beta successfully blend with a Theta
who wanders through life in a dream state. 'Course Mr. Marigo is a "__ ",
a card carrying member of the little known "Flatliner Delta" fraternity, who
easily achieves the Delta state, or deep, somnambulistic sleep state on a moments
notice. For more details, call Mike Moore or review the educational handout
provided. Talia Shafir can be contacted at (707) 829-3757.

Subject: Thank You!
Hi, Bob! This is Becky Lunders, Income Development Manager at the American Cancer
Society in Santa Rosa. I want to personally thank you and the Rotary Club for the
generous contribution you made to the American Cancer Society... in memory those who've
passed on.
I also want to let you know that we will be lighting a luminary in memory of each of
them at our Relay For Life event in October at Cardinal Newman High School. This is
a 24-hour team event where teams of up to 15 people take turns walking around the track
for 24 hours. The focus is on honoring cancer survivors, and remembering those
who've passed on. It's an amazing event! I wanted to let you know about it...
in case your club wanted to put together a team. I am available to make a
presentation at a club meeting-if you'd like to know more about the Relay For Life.
Our website is for the event is: http://www.relay-for-life.org. Again, thank
you for your support. I can be reached at 545-6720.
