Get ready for a blast! By Harvey Kiser, President |

Harry watched a piece of string walks into a bar. The bartender eyes it carefully and says suspiciously, "Say, aren't you a piece of string?" "Yes, I am. Why?" "Well, we don't serve pieces of string here. I have to ask you to leave." The piece of string leaves the bar, but he doesn't give up. He ties himself into a knot, frays his ends and goes back into the bar. Once again, the bartender looks him over and says, "You're a piece of string, aren't you?" "I'm a frayed knot."♪ |

Man, what a fast month we just had. Unfortunately a lot of storms. Just think, sometime this Summer we will be asking for rain. There will be a list with all members names on it. It is for the purpose of helping us decide how many InCiders to print. So if you want a hard copy please underline your name and we will print one for you. Then at chapter meeting, Look for the label with your name on it Take that one. That way we know if you received your copy. But if you have internet, we would encourage you to look at it there, it is in color and there is action on some of the pages. You are missing a lot by not reading it on line. It also saves the chapter the expense of printing more copies than we need. There will not be an InCider in July it will be combined with the August issue. So you will have plenty of time to get your articles in.♪ |
