Also bragged for the upcoming, first annual fundraiser for local food shelves through Broc and Laflammes. The fundraiser will be a potluck dinner competition.

Gwen was fined by Mike Coppinger for the great pics she posted on FB of her daughter in NYC. They recently went on a family trip down there after tax season and went to the zoo, museum of natural history, and of course, central park. The picture on fb was of her daughter "becoming Superman" as superman takes off his suit to reveal his super hero attire.

Kevin bragged that he was honored to be re-elected chairman of the board for HFCU.

Dick fined Mark and Chuck Rose for not signing Rich Carlson's new member form. Evidently Dick found the 16 year old sheet in his garage during a recent clean out!

Andrew was fined for posting his Mai Thai session while spending time in San Diego.

Wendy's daughter landed a full-time job at Harvard! She urged us all to go to a pancake breakfast at The Godnick center on Sun. May 1st to hear Bruce Lisman speak. She is supporting lisman and encouraged others to do so.

Steve found a great weight loss program...chase your grandson around for 3 days.

Caprice survived a weekend in NYC with the exchange students and also bragged for Ricardo being featured in the Herald during a recent Maple Fest.

 

Barb is still trying to sell Kentucky Derby Tix that support the Chaffee. The event is on Race day at 4:30-7 at Southside and tickets are $50 each. Proceeds go to helping to restore the mansion and barn in back.

Jeff said that he is trying to gauge interest in helping the Northwest School host the Spring fling again this year. The date is May 13th from 9-12.

Saturday, May 7th is Rotary Park Clean up from 9-1 and this Thursday at 10am is the preview day with Brian Perkins at the park to get a game plan together.

Krista has only received 170 of the raffle tickets back and only 12 members have sold tickets according to who has turned in. Time to crank it up. Chuck and Steve are still looking for us to land sponsors and sell ticekts. The bogey is 1 sponsorship per member and 20 raffle tickets.

 

Little pot $30 and $750 big pot.

Brian Perkins won the little, not so lucky on the big one

 

Bill Morrissey is a local contractor with Weatherization Works and also a contractor for Neighborworks "Heat Squad". He has been in the business since 2005 and recognizes that the work isn't for everyone. It's often hot and nasty in attics or gross and damp in basements. Often times, that is the reason why people neglect the care they deserve. When trying to assess the best way to improve efficiency of a home, you start in the basement and make your way up. The reason being; air is drawn in through the basement, heated up and rises through the levels, eventually getting released through the attic. Low fuel prices have hurt business as people are as concerned with being efficient...they can just save money by paying lower fuel costs. He also specializes in the installation of cold weather heat pumps and solar power. Heat pumps can collect heat down to -13F...pretty incredible. The typical payback on a heat pump is 5-6 year...longer now with low fuel prices.
