elaborated a bit on the First Federal

agency you are involved with that is
also registered with First Fed.
You can
then email your hours to Erin at
the end of the month—it’s like free
money for the club. If you have any
questions, just contact Erin or
Ray Fields and they can give you
more details.

President Jan asked him to tell a
few Christmas jokes and he bravely gave
it a go.
What do
you get when you cross a Christmas tree
with an apple? A pine-apple.
What
did the bald man say when he got a comb
for Christmas? “I’ll never part with
it.”
What
song do monkeys sing at Christmas? (wait
for it…) “Jungle Bells, Jungle bells…”
President Jan

the red baskets for the Pennies for
Polio campaign.
