Dianne had her first 39 th birthday of the 16th;
John’s new granddaughter had her first birthday yesterday;
Dicks grandson is getting married Saturday and the 20th.

Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:
- Nancy’s son shot a bear, prompting a happy buck from her; she’s glad the bear did not get him.
- Mark offered a buck for his 3-days in the Adirondacks; this is 39 years he’s been going.
- Kim had a happy buck in honor of a weekend all to herself.
- Eric offered a happy buck for the Bills’ win against Arizona.
- Tom again had offsetting bucks this week.  The Texans lost and the Bills won, so his world is upside-down, but on the upside, he is recovering very quickly from his Bell’s Palsy after only 10 days.
- Chase had a buck because he was happy to be back with us.  He also confessed to 2 weeks in Hawaii.
- Gene announced that he had heard from the Yankees, and they said that Bob Yost would be pitching tonight.
- Pam confessed to a trip to Europe with Bill.  Having had the exempt button for September, she parted with a few bucks for the October portion of her trip.

Notes and Updates for the Club:
• Our annual Christmas dinner will be held December 19 at Parkwood Heights in Macedon.  More details will follow.
• The Murder Mystery Dinner is tentatively scheduled for February 16
• Dictionaries and Thesauruses have arrived.  We are still working on a date for distribution.
• The Wayne County Fair Spaghetti Dinner and Raffle is Saturday, November 3 from 4 – 8pm at the Palmyra Fire Hall.  Kim still has plenty of tickets available for you to purchase or sell.
• Vicky reminds us all that any political campaign signs must be on your own property, not in the village right-of-way.  If you have signs, please be sure they are on your side of the sidewalk.</sub>

_{Dave Read won $9 in the 50/50 raffle, which he donated to the Finger Lakes Museum.}

<sub>A couple of corrections of last week’s crier are in order.  Dan Wooden is not CEO of the Fair board; he is Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) for Palmyra.  Also, Nancy won eleven dollars in the 50/50, not one dollar as reported.
