Dance chair Craig Daves invites all to attend final dance of the season tonight with Roger Kenaston Band . The schedule for next season is completely filled except for one! Craig thanked all who have supported dances by attending or helping set up/clean up; and in particular John Geer for printing & placing the schedules on tables at dances. Due to washing & waxing floors, we are asked to not come in to reserve tables until 3:45 p.m. on dance nights.

And then the fight started ..
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter took my order first. “I'll take the rump steak, rare, please.” He said, “Aren't you worried about the mad cow?” “Nah, she can order for herself.”...then the fight started.
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, “What's on TV?” “Dust.” I said. .. then the fight started.
My wife was hinting what she wanted for our anniversary. She said, “I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 2 seconds.” I bought her a bathroom scale. ..then the fight started.
One year, I bought my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. She asked me why. “Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year” ..and that's how that fight started.
