How are you all doing now that Thanksgiving is behind us? How many of you passed the gravy and spill it? Did you stuff yourself tighter than the turkey? Are the leftovers all gone yet? Did your talking scale laugh at you after your last bite of dessert? All of these questions are just some of which may have been part of the Thanksgiving Day discussion or sometime later. More good times with memories forever. That’s what it’s all about. Life needs to be fun. Yes, there are times to be serious as well. I truly believe that laughter is an essential vitamin for everyone’s diet. We all have to loosen up out there and enjoy those precious moments we have together no matter if it’s with the family an old friend a new friend or the Pope. I’ll never forget the time at a holiday gathering I heard someone make the comment about how tired of ham and turkey they were and how they really enjoy a good goose instead. Or the master chef that thought his stuffing recipe of Orville’s butterball buttery popping corn and raisins would be a hit, and it was. Blew the a$$ right out the turkey. Needless to say, that was talked about forever.

So seriously now take a breath and think about another chance to OVEREAT. The CIGC Annual meeting and Christmas Party is December 11 at 6:00 pm Bonfield Lions Club Hall. We will all stand and recite the

Pledge of Allegiance and remain standing for a Prayer. We will then eat and our annual meeting will follow. The club will supply the meal and drinks. Members are asked to bring a dessert. There will be a silent auction and each member may bring an unwrapped item for that. Bidding on auction items will continue throughout the evening. Please RSVP on or before December 3 to Ann Roach. Guests are welcome but must be reported to Ann on or before the deadline. Pedal tractor tickets will be available from now until the drawing that evening. Bring a lot of cash a big appetite and your bib to catch the dribbles. Please thank God for keeping us healthy so we may all work together and make this club event happen. Don’t ever forget our Veterans, whether active or not and their families that have an empty chair at the table because their loved one made the ultimate sacrifice. So many of us have lost someone close or they may be ill and can’t join us. Please keep them in your Prayers.

God Bless you all!
Sincerely,
Your President, Dave Wehrmann
