HAPPY, SAD, AND FINE BUCKS: We had three Birthday’s, each celebrated with century clubs, Elizabeth Georgeon, Joel Smith and Hal Crockett. Harold Backer was glad to comb his hair, Paul Westmoreland was happy about dancing in Arizona, Sheila Cook happy and sad about kids cars, and Harold Arman gave a buck, but you must be here next week to learn why. PROGRAM: Ann Doneen introduced John Sack. John told us about his upcoming book on the “Big Circle or the Chinese Mafia” as it is called. He introduced us to the key figures, colorful names like Chicken Head, Fatty, The Professor, Tiger, and Dragonhead, which is the name of this book. It did not sound like we would be inviting any of these folks to join the club; although it sounds like they can raise money. When asked why he spent time with these folks, John simply said they asked him to. NEXT WEEK: July 25th. Mike Elias RONALD MC DONALD HOUSE August 1st. Richard Roche Telecommunications
