From Doc:
Because I will be out of town for several days in early April, the next Chord-Inator deadline is March 26 at the very latest.  That is only 18 days away so get on the ball and get your material to me post haste!  Thanks, Doc

From Diana and Carl:

Ticket Announcement - Unsold tickets are to be turned in tonight.  Tickets will be returned to Bethel Thursday.  If you forgot your tickets tonight they must be returned to Pinard’s by Wednesday night.  Otherwise, according to Commodore policy, YOU must pay for them.  The yellow sheet with the names of the people you sold your tickets are due.  Also, remember that all those names have to be input onto a spread sheet.  Please write or print legibly.  Tickets will still be available through Bethel so keep talking up the show.  Tickets are also available at the door on Saturday, March 20.  Thanks for all your hard work.
Carl and Diana

Leo Odden’s is recovering nicely from his knee replacement two weeks ago.  He’s already walking independently of a cane and worked at his barbershop a couple days last week.  He is hoping to sit in on our practice tonight.  Romana Jorgenson, Jim’s wife, returned home from the hospital a week ago and is doing well.  She and Jim had quite a scare when she was admitted to the ICU two weeks ago where they thought she had a Staph infection.  Fortunately it was not that and she bounced back quickly.  Char Bauer, Carlton’s wife, has completed her therapy at the Masonic Home and went home on Monday.  She is continuing her walking therapy and plans to take in our annual show.

Please keep me informed about our sick and ailing members and remember them with your cards, calls and prayers.
