Tony Powers got 4 bits from Brad Thompson for not posting a sign asking about the TUIT at his key gas pumps. Not much of a week Tony!
Tony gave the TUIT to Jim Kicklighter who will be gone next week. Beware!
FINES
Jim Kicklighter and Mark Clark were our Sgt.s at arms.
Jeff Frizell was fined member reinstatement tax for not showing up since his wedding many months ago. Chuck Peterson had prepaid for a telephone call during the meeting last week but was fined again for missing the entertainment value of paying during the Sgt.s time. Scott Potucek was fined for butchering Trish Roses introduction. Jeff Brewer was fined for having the messiest office at Luminous Neon upon good authority following a recent tour. Fred Conner was fined his annual returning snowbird tax. Dwight Wiehl had to pay a small interest charge for winning the 50/50 pot last week.
Jeff Brewer (again) for a telephone call or was that an install gone wrong call; Yours Truly for running out of gas and almost ruining dinner last Wednesday night (ratted out by Mattie); and last but not least Preston Clark was fined for using the Womens port-a-pot at a mystery dinner theatre in the new salt mine. He said he left the lid up too.
PROGRAM
Linda Schmidt has been the new Reno County Museum director for the past four months. During that time she has mainly been dealing with getting the new Underground Salt Museum ready to open by May 1st with real operating toilets.
The infrastructure necessary for this endeavor 650 underground has proven to be very challenging. Visitors to the underground mine will be treated to a 40-minute tram tour followed by viewing exhibits in the underground museum. Future exhibits will be added as the museum evolves and funds become available. The next Murder in the Mine mystery dinner theatre will be held April 28th with future dinner theatres held in August and October.
Contact the museum for more information at 662-1184. Linda also told us two different versions of the Ben Blanchard and the discovery of salt stories.
