Craig Eley reminded us that next Friday’s
meeting is your opportunity to fob off your old treasures on Club members! Yes, it
is the annual White Elephant gift exchange at Monaco South, Friday, December
23. Bring a gift or gifts of stuff that you would like to see put to good use—but by
somebody else. It can be electric, eclectic, a record by Queen, something a little
obscene, a shirt that looks tacky, some shorts that are khaki, something unused,
or something abused, etc. What you bring may be designed to bring more
appreciation to the audience than the recipient, but the good news is that you do
not have to include a card with your name. It can be wrapped in newspaper
(Might take an entire issue of the lean Denver Post) or anything you want. And if
you forget to bring a gift, don’t worry. We have a bunch of stuff left behind after
the last White Elephant and accumulated over the past year, so come and enjoy
the mayhem even without a contribution. Santa will be there, handing out the
largesse. He knows who has been naughty and nice, but there is still time to shape
up so you don't get the perennial petrified poop paperweight!
Super Citizen programs are going strong. Three programs were held this past week. Samuels Elementary, McMeen Elementary and Bradley International held programs. Bradley had a pajama party, according to John Wachter, who also attended a meeting of the Bradley JOOI Club, at which they discussed The Optimist Creed. Thanks to all who take the time from busy schedules to honor these students.
VETERANS SHARING CHRISTMAS
Joe Marci, with a fresh Florida suntan, reported that he and Bob Meyer were in Florida this past week to chaperone Colorado Junior Golfers who qualified for the Mid-winter tournament. He also got to visit 4 of his grandchildren and avoided the cold Colorado weather. Over 300 took part in the contest.
