Bob and Joy Ike had a wedding anniversary on Monday the 30.
Kim’s granddaughter turned one on Monday.

Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:
- Cortney had a happy buck for an early September vacation in Ocean City, New Jersey.  It’s actually a less than happy buck, as she suffered first degree burns on her legs during that vacation.
- Vicky had a buck in honor of the New York State Canal Corp. conference, which she called the “Best Conference Ever!”
- Cindy pitched in a buck for the barn sale this weekend.
- Kim (and Mark) took a trip to Boston for the above mentioned granddaughters birthday.  This warranted a happy buck at least.
-Gene had a happy buck because the Yankees were one game ahead of Baltimore.
-Tom had “a big Happy Buck for Cheryl Ford” in keeping with the pattern, and another in honor of Houston being 4–0.
-Anne threw in a happy buck for the Raiders’ football win on Friday.
-Bob Sloan announced that the Pal-Mac Youth Football and Cheer Charity Bowl, over four venues, raised $5,735 for Camp Onseyawa.  They will round this up to an even $6,000!
