Hello fellow lushes ! The Christmas ( yes , I said Christmas I believe in a God . If you don ' t , go have your " Holiday " party somewhere else !). This year ' s party was another blast . Numerous craft beers were exchanged and a good time had by all into the evening ! Thank you Mark and Lori for hosting and to all who donated items for the auction . I want to thank Schells Brewery for the 150th mirror they donated . It was won by some lucky bastard who belongs to The Border Batch . It was probably rigged ! We could use more old beer for the tasting next year . Please keep this in mind when you go to auctions and garage sales this summer .
The cook books proved to be a huge success . Thanks to the fairer sex of our club for the idea , the work , and the follow through to git-r-done . To all you nay-sayers who said it wouldn ' t work , you are now banned from making any decisions from this day foward . I admire people who will try anything . I hate people who say , " You can ' t do that ." Barry Travis , kudos on the cover !
A reminder to those of you who didn ' t get a chance to pay your fun-fee " dues " at the party , please send them in or we will be forced to send out the muscle to collect it . I ' ve been to a lot of places in the world and have yet to find a place where you can have as good of a time as we do for 10 bucks a year . I tried it in Amsterdam and it cost me $ 256 for the first 30 minutes !
Our spring meeting will be hosted by Ben Malloy in Cambria on Sat . March 3rd @ his home . Cambria ' s Prerie Bach ( restaurant / bar ) will be open that day . You may want to ask the owner if the huge Schells sign out front is for sale . I ' ve been trying for years . Between that one and the one at the Klossner house . There ' s a price for everything and my price is never high enough I guess ! As always , bring a dish to pass .
I look forward to my year stint as chapter President and hope to come up with new ideas and lead the members ( motley crew ) into a fun 2012 ! I would like to get a bus trip together , maybe to Lucan ? Any ideas , let me know .
I had my first Bock of the season at the bowling alley in New Ulm on Dec . 21st . Good , better yet it only cost me . 10 . They have pull tabs out there every day between 3 and 6 .
