With Grid Master PP Al Horton under the weather, his very able partner, Mary Kay Horton brought the grid and winning back to SHRC today. Sgt. @ Arms/PP Paul Urtz picked up the ball to announce the winners and distribute the prizes!The 1st Quarter winner was (get this!) Kip Cranford, the Horton's son-in-law! Really? Good thing Al emailed out this photo of the grid on Saturday, a full day and a half before the big game. Kip won $50!
The 2nd Quarter winner was a blank so that prize was moved forward and added to the 3rd Quarter winner, the doubly lucky PP/Sec'y Bev Edwards, who won $100.
And the Final Score was also a blank, so a weighted drawing of participants was held. Sarge/Attorney Urtz brilliantly had our speaker, Beth, do the final drawing and PP Lloyd Gottman won the final $100.
The big winner? Our club pocketed $390 for the Community Service budget! Fun and easy. Thanks, Al, for putting this together!
Oh My! Sarge Paul was not yet done! First, he thanked PPX2 Dr. Jeff Kaes for his (mine?) Invocation at Charter Night as Paul was busy--OK--he was very busy prior to a medical procedure that all 50-year-olds should have performed. Paul began to explain in painful detail about this procedure, an explanation which was rapidly--and appropriately--met with cries of, "TMI, TMI!"
Paul then attempted to run Roto Lotto with the (in)famous "What's in the Bag" gag that was popularized by a Sgt. @ Arms from way back in time who was Blonde and still has a big nose! Paul, just a hint. The gag works better if you start with the big money--"Big Money or what's in the bag?" then if the bag isn't chosen you go to the 2nd prize or "What's in the bag, ad nauseum until the 3 prizes and the bag have been given. Well, anyway, that's how I did it...back in the day!
But, hey, Paul got the job done and PP Betsy Jansen was the winner of a vintage, unworn, still has it's tags, SuperBowl XXXII ball cap when Elway and the Broncos beat the Packers. But Betsy is a Packers fan! Oh, the burn! Kudos to Betsy, she was a good sport and wore the hat at least for a moment for a picture!
