GUESTS: Michael Hill, Jr. and Capt. Shawn McClay-guests of Sheriff Randy Henderson.
Sgt. Report: Sgt. Cooley and Deputy Dawg Brewer proceeded to harvest cash before it was spent on Powerball tickets. The tired table paid for not paying attention (John K., Jay, Tom and Dennis R.). Paul H. paid for upstaging the Sgts. in the breakfast line. Dorinda and Thad paid for attending the non-existent Board Meeting. Brenda paid the membership renewal fee (Welcome back!). And oddly enough, President Parr paid to start the new year. Buy A Fine included: A Thank You by Jeff B. to Kathy for publicity in an article for the Hutchinson AMBUCS, Thads announcement of daughters admission to the University of Essex, G.B. and Dan Powers declaration of retirement beginning next month.
