Highlights from the September 18th Meeting

Harold Engle invoked, Charlie sang (some of us helped,) the 50/50 survived another ticket draw and now has only 37 cards left, Ken Kreider coughed up some Happy Dollars in honor of his 50th Wedding Anniversary, the jars for the Gates Polio Challenge were NOT on the table so we kept our pocket change for another week, Jeff Kline spoke of progress on the Christmas Tree Sale, and the next committee meeting at Hennigans, Sept 23 at 7 PM.


Kudos to Dan Brill for looking inside the club membership and coming up with another great program. The speaker for the day was our own David Schmidt who came dressed in a brown shirt. Not sure if that was a fashion statement, or marketing for a competitor, but he gave us a really good inside look on the trials and tribulations of the US Postal Service. Partnering with FedEx and UPS and other competitors is an important part of their service now, and is good business for everyone. Although the post offices are losing money left, center and right, the on-line business is booming. It was nice to get the straight scoop from someone who sort of works for a quasi-government agency. Thanks Dave for an interesting and informative presentation!
