THE DRAW:

GUEST SPEAKER:
RUSS introduced ROGER WILSON, who is the licensing boss of the City Of Brampton. Russ worked with him for all those years getting our licenses for the Battalion 50/50 tickets we had to get all the time. He gave us a lot of information on the rules and why we need licenses for all the Fund Raising things we do. He is also the guy that arranges the Bingo License and a good guy to have on your side. The binder he had on all the rules and regulations is bigger than the biggest phone book that I ever saw. Interesting talk.
A few new words,
DECAFALON: The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
GLIBIDO: All talk and no action.
DOPELER EFFECT: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
