Well ..... it was another late meeting night. REALLY late. There's just something about a tuxedo shirt that makes you uncomfortable all night long. I skipped the big steak dinner, since as you know steak is not my thing ... and went straight to the meeting. Yes I know that's weird, but when you've had steak SO much growing up on the ranch, it becomes easy to pass. Besides that, all steaks are not equal.
The initiation went quickly ... another 22 members. Believe it or not, we have been initiating between 20 and 35 members every single month. I don't know where they are all coming from. One in particular, I wish we had not found.
The one thing we had to accomplish was voting on the budget. A lot of work goes into that budget. That's when the guy stood up and complained LOUDLY about not seeing it in printing for at least a week. That brought about the READING of the budget. Do you know how long it takes to read four pages of a budget, line item by line item?
We were then regaled with the reading of over 50 charitable donations from not one, but TWO sections of the Elks good works. It was almost midnight when I got home. Four hours sleep does not make Nancy a cheerful camper, even after two cups of coffee.
SO ... here we are at ACT 2 of THE CHAIR. It's a good thing there aren't many images in this act because I'm sure I will fall asleep after the first two.
Once again fabulous pictures! Get some rest! I'm with you on steak I ate lot of steak growing up on the ranch...not my favorite either.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who will pass on a steak.
DeleteVery creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elva ... we sure had fun!!
DeleteCountless times I would look at the menu of the Restaurant I managed and NOTHING looked interesting to eat! You can only take so much of a good thing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that interesting. You wouldn't think that was possible, but you CAN get overloaded.
DeleteI honestly don't know how you do it. I am thankful that there are people who do and enjoy working with organizations like the Elks but I just can't do it.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are interesting, a lot of ingenuity went into the development of the Acts!
I'm not sure why I do it Jim ... I think it's because the other people who work there are so nice. Otherwise I would quit for sure!
DeleteInteresting story!
ReplyDeleteWeird Patsy ... weird. I don't know what I was thinking!
DeleteWhat the guy could not read he needed it read to him??? No matter what there is always one.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling Act 3 is going to be interesting.
I'm laughing because on this night there were TWO. There's always someone who wants to argue.
