Sometimes you just wonder what the Heck...

Last night the Davi's had us over for a dinner of superbly cooked Italian cuisine. Donna Davi is an extraordinary chef and consuming one of her meals is fast becoming one of our most happy events.

Before the meal was served Ben Davi and I were talking about the Social Club as we often do. He told me of one resident that came up to him at the close of the meeting and told him that the meeting was the most "Disinterested" he had ever been to.

This statement was made despite the fact that treasurer's report showed the Social Club on sound financial ground with a $7100 balance. Despite a new innovation passed by popular vote that the Social Club will serve Hot Dogs and Chili at its next meeting (other menu choices will follow on at the meeting after this one). Despite another experimental innovation passed by popular vote that Bingo be funded out of the treasury for $100 plus what ever that night's proceeds are. Despite a firming of our upcoming Father's Day dinner at Izzy's where we have a special room reserved for LVH folks, a reduced senior discount and one future free meal for every Dad. Then there was the fixing of the electrical outage problem in the kitchen. A request to study what it would take to make the sound system work really well. An opening (by vote) of ticket sales to mother's day catered dinner to folks outside the park (family and friends). A request to speak to the community restaurants for gifts for our Mothers on their day.. A promise to study the problem with the electric ovens in the clubhouse kitchen. A request and acceptance to fill the Newsletter Editor's slot while he vacations in Alaska. A request to form a committee to find new folks for the Neighborhood Watch Co-ordinator and Vice Chairman of the Social Club.

Yeah, damn right... A very "Disinterested" meeting indeed.

Sometimes a well placed caustic remark can torpedo the best of intentions... Got a gripe...Then get a grip! THINK before you say something thoughtless.
