TUIT REPORT

Dan Power returned with the Tuit. Both he and the Tuit were nicely tanned from a two week vacation. Dan explained how

the Tuit and the Threat level Orange in the airports made for some interesting conversations with the security screeners.

Dan visited the YMCA for a workout. Bumped into (not literally thank goodness) Jack Mace in his Speedo and

Goggles headed for the pool. Jack asked about the Tuit, Dan was busted. He said all he had on was his workout

pants with no pockets, therefore no place to put the Tuit, (Ambucs, insert your own crude joke here.)

He saw Paul Brown at Orschelns (supposedly getting his rubber boots and

six month supply of manure for the Court House. That would take a big truck).

Paul did not ask about the Tuit.

Duke Wiggins and Dan were racing down Main St in rush hour traffic, Duke didnt signal to the Tuit.

Dean Brigman didnt ask. Jeff Brewer missed it also.

Dan cheerfully asked if anyone else wanted the Tuit, no one stepped up, so Dan unloaded it on Rick Mitchell.

PROGRAM:

Larry Sloan presented the Buhler FFA chapter. Sponsor John Clark introduced members Merideth Kueck, Jenna Newsum, Tyler Rayl, Robby Gray, Nathan Parson and Cami Zahn.

The group performed a mock oration on Parlimentary Procedure. The members were thanked given a mug.

FINES COLLECTED

Don Grossardt, Larry Sloan and Tony Powers had recent advertising with no mention of Ambucs. Doug Foss and Jason Jones were fined for being late. Jay Pitzer was fined for being late several times, he was here than stepped out the back and stepped out again. Bob Bush and City Beverage hosted the Chamber of Commerce meeting with no/little mention of Ambucs. An Ambuc asked about free samples at the Chamber breakfast, even Bob has standards about drinking before the sun comes up. John Knipp was fined for feeling guilty for not being fined. Doug Foss asked to fine Monte McConnaughy. Monte helped out by bringing temporary heaters for Doug’s house and arranging to have a new furnace installed later that day. After Monte billed the Foss for the $7,200 furnace system, Doug received the warranty paper work with $0.46 postage due. Must be a nice big warranty, so Doug is covered well.
