From Dan Cole:

Spring is here.
The grass is green.
Now is the time for guests to be seen.
GUESTS! GUESTS! GUESTS!   Pick them up on a Tuesday night and bring them to a fun night with the Commodores.

PS We still have a few memberships available to the 20/20 Fund Club starting at $20. Of course, all memberships are anonymous.

Thanks to all the regular 20/20 Club members.  We continue to do good works.
