AMBUCS Newsletter 9/23/11
Editor: Jeff Roberson
Guest: Bill Hermes
Sergeants: Paul Brown won the 50/50 pot last week with fake tickets. There is some speculation that Paul didnt actually purchase the tickets, but well leave that up to a judge to decide. Since there was some question about the authenticity of his tickets, he was fined for the win. Curtis got fined for almost knocking over the name badges this morning. Duke got fined for, well, being Duke. Others got fined for various reasons. We had a few late comers, Randall, Christie and Ward, so they had to pay a tidy fine. Brad decided to raise some more fine money by asking questions about old TV shows. For example, what happened on September 23rd, 1977? Farrah Fawcett was replaced on Charlies Angels by Cheryl Ladd. The first broadcast of Marcus Welby, M.D. was on September 23rd, 1957. Needless to say, many fines were paid and few accurate answers were provided. There were some good wrong answers, though. Jeff Brewer bought a fine to announce his first Grand Son being born!

They first opened in 1983 and moved into their current location in 1989. They offer services not only to Reno County, but to a wide area surrounding our county with the exception of Sedgwick County. If you or an organization is interested in tours, they are happy to give them. You can contact Bill Hermes for more information and to schedule a tour.
