FOOD FOR THOUGHT
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways with
- A drink of your choice in one hand
- Chocolate in the other hand
- Your body thoroughly used up and totally worn out
- Screaming:
"WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

This is the February 2007 edition of the WESTLAKE TOWN CRIERS NEWLETTER. We only had 1 meeting in January and here are some of the highlights:
- The 2007 budget was passed and is attached. In order to maintain a balanced budget (unlike our Country’s budget) the discretionary spending has been reduced (no EAR MARKS here). Last year we budgeted $3000 and spent over $4600. This year we have allocated only $1500, so we must keep that in mind throughout the year as non- budgeted requests are received. Here are the final numbers for 2006:
- 2006 income - $18,742.17
- 2006 expenses - $16,805.84
- 2007 carryover - $ 1,936.33
- A new fund-raiser has been suggested, approved and, in fact, started by Jim Wang. We will be sponsoring a TEXAS HOLD-EM Tournament. It will be held at the FOP Hall on February 25th. The cost is $75. I’m not sure how many players there will be or other details, so for more information contact Jim at (440-871-7854). Better yet, come to the meetings and find out.
- Nick Hillman has indicated that all the Reverse Raffle tickets are distributed. If you hold one or more, you own them. Nick will be at both February meetings so bring the ticket money. He doesn’t want to have to collect it all at the door that night. There is still a question on the menu. More to come. Tim White still has some WINNER TAKE ALL side board tickets to sell. Let’s help him out.
- There were 19 members present, and Denny Stosak’s name was drawn. Since he was not present, he was the loser of $120. (Denny, I’d rather be in the Carolinas too).
- Don’t forget membership dues ($40). They should be paid by the next meeting.
The annual Christmas Luncheon at Dover Gardens was a big success. It was good to see so many members stop in. A big Thank You goes to Jeff Neverman for setting up the event. (Just a thought, it would be nice if that many members would show up for our regular meeting.)
In an effort to provide WTC news at a reasonable cost, I would gladly send the newsletters via email. For all those interested in that, please send your email request to richman273@wowway.com. Once I receive the request, I will start sending the monthly newsletters electronically. I will also continue to post the newsletter on our Web-Site. Also, if you have info you would like to share with the members, please pass them along and, depending on content, I’ll add to the NEWSLETTER.
Hopefully, an updated membership list will be included in the next NEWSLETTER. That’s all the more reason to pay your membership dues.
*************************************************************
- Now for a little humor entitled: Honesty
On the 2nd tee of the golf course with his wife, the husband says, "Twenty years ago I had a brief affair, it meant nothing. I hope you can forgive me."
His wife was hurt, but said, "Dearest, those days are long gone. What we have now is far more valuable. I forgive you." They embraced and kissed.
On the 17th tee, the husband was starting his back swing when the wife blurted out, "I'm sorry darling. I've been so conscience-stricken since you told me of your affair. Since we're being honest with each other, I have something to tell you also. Thirty-two years ago I had a sex change operation. I was a man before I met you. I hope you can forgive me."
The husband froze at the top of his back swing, and then threw a fit! He slammed the driver into the ground, kicked the ball into the woods, stormed off the tee, pushed the golf cart over on its side, broke the rest of his clubs one by one, then started on hers. He screamed and ranted, "You liar! You cheat! You despicable deceiver! How could you? I trusted you with all my heart and soul...and all these years you've been playing off the ladies tees!"
Some things are sacred.
