I hope I have all the guests correctly. If I missed anyone or misspelled their name, I am sorry. Paul Miller had his wife, Lynn as his guest. Dennis Durmas brought his son, Jonathon and wife, Carla.

Shaunalee Walls introduced Daryl Pridy’s children Mason, Madeline and Taylor. Orville Boge was accompanied by his wife, Frances.

Rita Crumpton had her husband, Thomas with her. Marilee Wood was with her son and her husband. Amy dyer brought her daughter and her two grandchildren, Henry and ?. As you can see there were lots of young guests.

One of the main reasons for all the young people was so they could enjoy the magic show. Our Program was Magician Dave Biehm. He entertained us all with his fun show. He had the young people sit up front and assist him with his various tricks.

Several people had happy bucks. Mike McDill had a buck because he had a good time with his family at Christmas. Stacey Mascarenas put in a buck because it was time for her 5^th Wedding anniversary also her brother has been promoted to colonel. Rick Nisley had a buck to gloat at Steve Thompson. Kristin Winn put in a buck about the skiing. Sally Ryan also had a buck as did Lynne Sorlye.

Mike Kelly was fined for winning some money. Other than that there were no fines.

Don’t forget to plan for the Mardi Gras party. It is to be February 25 at Adobe Creek. More on that in the weeks to come.
