Recognition Master:
Jim Williams introduced Terri Grassi with a poem about her card playing skill and as she came up to the podium he entertained her with music written by her brother, a professional musician and song writer. She called up Scott Dowds - Wife Jane’s birthday. Scott has arranged for an airlline pilot to read a poem over the speaker to her while they are flying to Oklahoma City. Later, an attendant will deliver a gift to her. What a great idea!

Art Levine won the raffle and did not know that a piece of paper can only be folded seven times. I just folded a newspaper sheet 8 times so I am not sure seven is the correct answer.
Warren Wimer has Ted E. Bear this next week or two! Watch out for this one!
