Sergeants Corner: Sheriff Brad and Deputy Stan started by selling a set of car keys to the highest bidder. President Jeff R (the owner) paid $5 to get them back, which Brad said included the weekly presidential fine. John K paid for sponsoring a Chamber breakfast and leaving early. Edward Jones counselors Dan P, Jay P, and Darren W paid for taking another trip; Colby Davis paid for being late (guess who ponied up the $1). Guy G paid again for losing his badge. Mark T was fined by Colby D for something unknown by this editor. Harley M paid his weekly fine for handing out reminders of the Red Tee Golf Classic scheduled for August 1st right after our meeting. Don G paid to announce that his son is heading to India on a Mission trip.
Announcements: Doug F reported the Amy Hale, who we helped with a stand up wheelchair, is suffering from an inoperative tumor and she and her family need our prayers.
Program: Heather Connelley and Bekah Hardenberger lead a presentation on the exterior and interior plans for what will now be known as the Ambucs Sweet Shoppe at the Kansas State Fair. They have worked diligently to design an interior that will not only be efficient, concentrating on traffic flow and dcor that will make this the most unique booth on the midway. Those present were delighted with their proposal and approved continuing with their plan. Webmaster Hymer will add their plans to our website so they can be reviewed by all members. Further input will be welcome.
Drawings: The Lucky Aces ticket went to Fred C, who has invested heavily on a weekly basis. He won $5, and announced that if he won the pot, now standing at $628, it will be pledged to the booth project on a $ for $ matching basis, thus raising at least $1,200 towards the cost of the project. The Newsletter pot goes to $40 next Friday as Ron Quicks name was drawn and he was not present. The question for next week is Who is Amy Hale and how did the Ambucs help her?
