    Shelia and I should be there...doubt I'll be spending as much on food this time though, my medical bills finally came in. Ouch!!

    What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

        We normally have about a 20 minute meeting about club events, and then a mini-raffle or auction with items that members bring, such as fish, plants, decorations, etc. Sometime during all of this, depending on the date and time of the meeting, we usually cook out or snack on stuff, and sometimes the club provides dinner. Then, nothing! We all just hang out and talk.

        It's fun for all ages! :)

          Thanks for the info! Who gets the proceeds from the auction? The individual or the club?

            Oh dear...I'll have to look up the exact percentage when I get home tonight, but most of the proceeds go to the individual seller. Lots of people choose to just bring items as donations, though, so the money goes to the club. It's something like 75+% that goes to the seller, though. :)

                No need to look anything up. I just didn't know how it worked. I appreciate the info!

                        I will make it. Hopefully not too late. I may have to leave and pick up another member and come back at some point. But I'm excited as always

                              Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
                              Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
