Today's meeting was opened by President Ken, Bob A. recited the prayer and Ken led us in God Bless America.

Secretary Bruce introduced roamer Jim D'Amico from the Derry Club, I heard he likes the food at the Wyndham.  Beth received her birthday umbrella and there were 4 anniversaries: Mitch, Jackie, Fella and Joel.

Lois filled in for absent Sgt-at-Arms Allan.  The general fine was levied on anyone who did not watch the whole Pro-Bowl, as well as missing pins and badges.

There were many happy and sad dollars.  I missed a few, as we had a very talkative crowd today.

Paula was happy she attended a grand opening of a new restaurant.

PP Pat was happy for the four days he spent in Vegas, but sad he left his money there.  He also enjoyed his time at Amesbury Sports Park with members of RYLA.

PP Barry spent time at Foxwoods and Mohegan and came back with most, but not all of his Monday.

Bob R was happy Pat visited his money while he was in Vegas.

PP Saritin was happy her daughter is walking and happy the family is taking a trip to Vermont this week-end.

Kevin enjoyed the NHL All-Star game.

PP Sue is a little sad she decided not to attend the Super Bowl, but happy BC alums are well represented at the game.

PP Joe V is also sad he didn't opt to go to Indy. He is happy his Rotary bowling team is in first place.

President Ken was happy there was a little bit of plow-able snow last week.

There were also many happy moments for the Chronicle program dedicated to Chelsea. Several members paid a happy dollar for their appearance on the show.

Many members paid Super Bowl happy dollars.  Hopefully there will be many more next Tuesday.

Amy Schram, from the Better Business Bureau was the guest speaker.  She gave a short history of the organization and tips on how to protect yourself from scams. For additional information you can contact the BBB at info@boston.bbb.org.
