Hate like hell to hear it. What's up?

I guess you'd call it a mish mosh

of low rent soapy operatics with

really cheap who's been doin who

2nd in command dumped the pres as

there has likely been canoodling

with the bartender & the Saturday

dinner she made (for a tidy sum)

was unceremoniously trashed so

they then had to send for pizza

The repeated requests for help

with prep & serving the dinner

fell on deaf ears yet again

Really glad to have been away

It seems they have lost Board

members & are having difficulty

getting any folks to volunteer

It sounds a little bleak to me

I spent about 8 years serving

but I happily didn't get voted

in on the last clean the slate

kind of election (bless them)

Some disgruntled had no idea

how well Leigh Ketchum & Phil

Sadler had taken care of stuff

for 6 years between them

It just might have to get worse

before it might get any better

Karl & Ludwig are spinning

Among all we re-organized among Parley Baer's belongings, we found his lifetime membership card for Showfolks.

Never having lived in Sarasota for long, I was never a member. So, with no worthy voice at all, I nominate CHIC and KENNY DODD to step in and run the thing.

Not quite sure how to explain this

to you Roger but when I tell Kenny

your great idea you might just be

able to hear his laughter in Yuma

Not for anything in this or any

other world would either of us do

any silly thing such as that

It would be a crimial offence if

we lost the club for stupidity
