Ms Verges and Tracee Norris both attended the golf event and have proven to be great partners for our Kiwanis Club. Working the date of the tournament were Max Booke, Bill Montgomery, Charlie Bender, Al Russ, Burt van Wagner, Walt Pfeil, Joe Overby, Jim Lee, John Bates, Ed Robinson, Carl Krouch, Neil Powell, and Gary Crumley. -- Butch Shadwell POLITICALLY CORRECT WHITE CHRISTMAS WHITE CHRISTMAS I’m dreaming of a color-challenged non-sectarian- nonreligious federal holiday; Just like the ones I (not to exclude you, also) used to know (if knowing is possible); Where the all-inclusive greenery either shines or doesn’t shine (according to your personal perspective) And non-adult humans listen (unless they are hearing-impaired) to hear vehicle noisemakers of various sorts in the snow (not meant to offend those in warmer climates where there is no snow). I’m dreaming of a color-challenged non-sectarian- nonreligious federal holiday; with every non- sectarian non-religious correspondence (not to exclude computer users and emails). May your days be merry and bright, or dark and dismal if you prefer. And may all your non-sectarian non-religious federal holidays be multi-colored.
