AND JUST FOR A LAUGH … 

A teacher asked her class, “What do you want out of life?”

A little girl in the back row raised her hand and said – “all I want out of life is four little animals”.The teacher asked “really and what four animals would that be sugar?”

The little girl said “A Mink on my back, a Jaguar in the garage, a Tiger in the bed, and a Jackass to pay for all of it”.

          To any of our members or their families who are not feeling well we wish you a speedy        recovery and look forward to seeing you back at the Club soon.

 Thanks to Ann Kirk for this report
