The M&M Team did much better today. Must have practiced.
One more week until the District Conference, still time to sign up.

President Menoher gave a very insincere "GO GIANTS" for the group.
Bob Meissner is back from working out of town and had nothing fun to confess, so he paid $50.
What do Superintendents do at the big rivalry game? According to Jim Cloney you spend most of your time on the winning side where people are happy! He paid $25 for his diplomacy.
The 50/50 chance was won by Mike Young, who didn't win! The pots up to $473 and the chances are better.
Today's presentation was by our very own Glenn Rank about climbing Mt. Shasta. Awesome photos and video of what looked like a trip he really enjoyed.
