Last week, Jay Bailly and Shaun Heimann, co-chairs to the Club's annual food drive, presented checks to ten area food banks / kitchens:

Berkshire Dream Center

Christian Center

1st Baptist Church

1st United Methodist Church

St Agnes Church Food Pantry

St Marks Church Food Pantry

St Stephens Table

Salvation Army

South Congregational Church

Christian Assembly Church

So, Jay's there for the photo above with a big smile. Where's Shaun? Inquiring minds at Sparks Tower want to know.

Our auction is on Saturday April 1, just two weeks away! We desperately need your items (and forms) to enter into our database. You may bring them Thursday, March 16, to our evening social at Patrick's (give them to Ron Latham or Robert Harrison), otherwise, get them to Molari Employment Services ASAP!  Advertising forms have been out for some time, Contact Don Kuczarski with completed forms and payment for program book advertising. Please don't wait to the last minute. It gives Robert heartburn.

March's 3rd Thursday evening social is this week (March 16) and will be at Patrick's Pub starting at 5:00 (note time change). Be advised that Patrick's has several wall-mounted TV's, so if you're into the NCAA basketball tournament, this is the place to be. Please RSVP before Tuesday to Joan DiMartino if you are attending (and if you will bring a guest) so John McLaughlin will know how much food to supply.

Last week we started our meeting with a moment of silence for Joe McGovern, whose dad passed away on March 6. The condolences of the Club go out to Joe and his family for their loss.

Kelly Marion 3/23

Phil Massery 3/30

Joe McGovern 4/6

John McLaughlin 4/13

Gail Molari 4/27

We have one birthday to celebrate this week: Jayson Tanzman (3/13); and no Club anniversaries.

With no winner at last week's meeting, we added $30 to the available cash, bringing the available total up to $803, now with 22 cards remaining in the deck. We're looking for that elusive two of clubs.
