this week’s meeting
The weekly meeting was started with the pledge by Larry
Nuffer and moving thoughts about making the world a better place by Mel
Gallegos. Linda Jalving capitalized on that
and made us smile by singing “Zipidee Doo Da” (thanks to Ken Tablang for the
spelling assistance). Attendance was
better than ever including visiting members from Club 33 (including our
honorary member Jerry) and Golden Triangle – guests included a beautiful
wife, detective, the John Adams and a judge – just missing
Professor Plum.

THIS WEEK’S SPEAKER
Bill Seaton, Historian and Comedian entertained us with his past experience and anecdotes including in his recent book “Humorous Letters from the Edge.” His primary message is that laughing improves your health. He definitely had the crowd doing some “internal jogging” and also provided us with some helpful statistics on diabetes, strokes and gum disease as it relates to humor. That combined with come camel wrestling and crouch painting stories kept us thoroughly amused. All sports fans related to comment regarding Chargers in 1983 .. if you try harder…long enough… still lose.
His final note was to “extend your life – read his book” and die laughing. Many members took him up on this by purchasing his book for $10 as they left the meeting.
