Editor: Paul W. Brown
GUESTS: Marc Blackim, Hutchinson Monarchs, guest of the club. Dr. Mark Darrah, DDS, guest of Dan Power. Victor Curtis, guest of Jeff Roberson. James Lowe, guest of Tony Power.
SGT. REPORT: Sgt. John Knipp was really LOUD along with his sidekick, Doug Foss. All those not serving at the casino night for Burrton High were fined (it actually went into early Sunday morning). Paul H. was fined for eating before the Sgt. Jim S. was fined for a lonely lunch at Samplers. Dan P. was fined for his guest arriving before he did. President Darren was fined for not swearing Victor Curtis in for four weeks. Curtis M. and Doyle were fined for being late. John K. was subbing as Sgt. for Ward who was subbing as Sgt. for Scott (not real sure who paid for that!). Duke was fined for injuries sustained in dropping the craps table. Lastly, Doug and John K. said they were honored to be idiots, if it raised money for kids (an actual quote, this editor is not lying-this time).
