President’s Message: Luis was absent so Carolina took the helms for the meeting.
Throw out Party: The party of the year is planned for June 25th at 5:00 PM at Steve Hernandez’s home. Prior to the party, we need to plan, speculate, and decorate and set the proper mode to formerly ‘throw out’ Luis. Please contact Carolina if you are interested in helping. On the 25th, the decorating fun will start at 2:00PM.
Stepping up to the Challenge: We will be making and serving pancakes for approx. 300 to 400 people June 4th, at Cameron Park for the 3rd annual 5-K Colon Cancer Walk organized by the City of West Covina, Kaiser Hospital and the American Cancer Society. We still need volunteers to help with this exciting PR opportunity from approx. 6:30 AM to noon. Please see Lone for further info.
The Mold has Spoken: The mold is still active, but didn’t catch anyone at the last meeting, but be prepared………….
Community Day at the Fair: Dave Harris is chairing this event at the LA County Fair on Sept. 30th, 2005. We will be participating in the West Covina Community Day Parade. Please see Dave to sign up for the committee. We will have a total of 20 free tickets for the participants in the parade.
Officers: Mark Tedesco as our new Sgt-at-Arms is stepping right into the role. This Wednesday, Jessika Martinez was lucky enough to spin the wheel. It turns out she is actually Doctor Martinez -- shame on us for not using her proper title in the program for the golf tournament – a fact pointed out by one of her employees in a letter to the club.

Red Ribbon Rally. This year the rally will be held October 29th at West Covina High School. Alex Rodrigues is the chair, and the committee meetings have already started. If you are interested in helping with this event, the meetings are at 7:30 AM at Denny’s Restaurant (on Azusa).

Angels Baseball: A group of 25 baseball enthusiasts, or at least fun loving people, are going to the Angels baseball game Tuesday, May 24, 2005. Should be lots of fun – and a great little fund raiser for the club.

Shoots and Ladders: Carolina Chacon is the chair and committee meetings will start soon And in conjunction with Red Ribbon Rally, pending details….

District Conference: Carolina was our only representative - a report to follow.
PMAC MDA Golf Tournament. The annual golf tournament benefiting MDA will be at the South Hills Country Club June 20th. The fee is $200. For more info please call 800-710-PMAC.

Scholarship Dinner: The Scholarship Dinner will be held May 26, 2005, at 6:30 PM, at the Tenant’s Recollections, 2526 E. Workman in Covina ( by Citrus Ave). All members will be billed for dinner, whether attending or not.
50/50 Raffle: The raffle was won, for the second week in a row, by Don Morrin, however he once again didn’t’ draw that all important card. There are now only 9 cards left.
Program: The program was presented by the AQMD and was very, very interesting. We learned that after 5 years, a child born in the Southern California area, will have lost 1/5 of his/hers lung capacity simply due to the smog in our area. The air we breathe every day contains 145 different cancer causing agents – and that’s not counting people working in hazardous environments. In the US Los Angeles and Houston have the worst air quality. The AQMD is the largest agency of its kind in the US. They regulate and enforce the air quality for 16 million people and their 10 million cars. She closed with a rather truthful comment: When you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.

It has long been contended that there are male jokes and female jokes, and there are unisex jokes. This is a female joke. I hope the women will love it and that the men will pass it along to a woman who will love it.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00......on one condition."
Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."
The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly, and meaningfully said.... "Clean my house."
