Oct. 12: Exchange student, announcements & finemaster

Inbound Exchange Student

Isidora Tiska, our exchange student from Chile, watched the Chaska High School Homecoming football game, but is still mystified by the game of American football. She attended the evening dance with her friends, and noted that it closed
at 11 p.m. In Chile, she said, dances don’t start until 11 p.m.

Announcements

Unbeknownst to most of us, Ron Cossette had another motorcycle accident (his second in as many years) the first week in August, however, he will be back with us today after a couple of months of recovery. There are rumors that his wife said, “NO MORE TOYS”. Welcome back, Ron, we’ve missed you.

Help those in need by donating a new or gently-used winter coat, hat, gloves, boots or snowpants. All sizes needed, including infant, toddler and youth. Visit www.loveinc.org for drop-off sites.

Volunteers and sponsors are needed for the Turkey Trot, Nov. 11 at Chaska High School.This family-friendly race is a joint effort by Chaska Rotary and Chaska High School DECA club. Contact Greg or Cindy Anderson if you are interested making a difference this year.

Finemaster

Our resident Finemaster, Joe Hoppe-long Cassidy, looked like he was “carrying.” Greg Anderson was in the crosshairs first, then everyone who didn’t correct Joe’s fake announcement of the Marsh Lake dinner and hunt were fined. Jim Dauwalter was brought to his knees followed by Char Weber, Randy Nelson and Angie Lawrence. He then reached into his saddlebag hoping to see a limit next week. We all look forward to next week to see if more fines will be flushed after the Marsh Lake hunt on October 18.

Happy Dollars today were contributed by Joe Hoppe and Ken Norman.
