Last Week

Trip James delivered one GoodBear to Pekin Hospital and got a severe hazing for his delivery methodology.  Many of the wiser, older AMBUCS gave Trip some wonderful advice on what to look for and how to approach the kids and parents.

17 AMBUCS made the first, back-to-Tuesday night at PCC.  No program, so more time was spent on auctionable items and a new twist on how to sell more AMBUCS auction raffle tickets was presented by Raffle Chairman Jeff Dill.
 

Now our club AMBUCS have a chance at winning a small, office size flat panel television!!  

Merchant contacts were announced and members' auctionable items were presented for consideration for the evenings most coveted awards!
  

Voting was fast and furious with a real manifestation of persuasiveness in the "most unique and La Crappier" categories. Nonetheless, the results were:

Most valuable went to Trip James for his  Matching Jugs.

Most unique went to Bud Grimm for his Gutter Buster.  Or, should it be Gut Buster?

And La Crappier went to Tom Tesar for the Coleman White Gas Campers heater. 
(a true treasure to say the least)  That should fire us up?!?

Next week's program will be a TBA and Greg will notify everyone in plenty of time.  Your Auction Chairman will be out of town and back with you all March 16....(St. Patrick's Day eve) and I am confident that you all will step it up and get going on those merchant contacts.  We don't have that many days to go so please start to step things up!

Check your TV this Saturday Night - East Seals Telethon!

At 8:08 p.m. on WMBD-TV you will see an AmTryke Presentation to 13 year old Macayla Brooks by our very own Bill Calvert, Jeff Dill and Larry Truckenmiller.  Don't miss it!

See you in two weeks,
