Todays guests, The Presidents daughter Jackie, Jason Grossardt, todays program .
The sergeants were able to extract contributions from numerous Ambucs who seemed happy to donate beginning with Reiser singing good morning Sergeant Brad. And for the Double Header Dennis paid for owning a coin purse. Please say it wasnt so. Then Brenda was caught trying to steal Colbys shoes? Doug had no money, but he paid anyway. Then there were some tardy Board Members, Mark, Kathy, Tom and Dorinda. Troy paid for showing up. Guy loves to pay for not wearing his badge. Pitzer paid to be the certified trainer on pins and badges. Colby bought a fine, but the editor forgot what for. Then the sergeants rang out. But wait, they rang back in order to collect more money for badge owner negligence, which probably violated City ordinances. The end.

Todays Program featured Jason Grossardt, son of Don Grossardt. Jason spent one month in India and recounted his experiences in that nation. Being involved in Campus Ministries enabled Jason to have a place to stay and to discuss spiritual conversations. India is a nation of three religions, Hinduism, Christian, and Muslim. The Caste society system is fading in India. Conversion from Hindu to Christian results in being cut-off from the family. Poverty prevails in the nation even to the extent that is taught as a institution. His presentation covered many other things about life in India that were most interesting.
