Happy Dollars

Bob Neibert had to leave early but left a Happy Dollar to help out the less wealthy members of the club. Art Samson was happy to report on the move of the Routes Youth Centre to the Dundas Community Centre, 15 years from the time it was first planned. Shirley had just enjoyed a relaxing week in New York City. Bruce told a joke about fisherman Fred. Fred Amalfi assured us he was not the fisherman in the story- but then told us how he had been taken in for questioning by US Homeland Security while crossing the border last week because he was still radio-active after a special blood test earlier in the week.
