Report on FABAC Meeting

   We missed you John....and the monthly quiz.  As the dinner wore down we all looked around expectantly but no one volunteered any form of after meal entertainment.  Hopefully this was a one time occurrence.
   Gary opened by welcoming Dianne E. back to the fold after her recent stay in the Saint John hospital. 
   He then offered congratulations on the running and large attendance of the last two runs. The 'Yes Bye Fries' run was well received with a marked increase in the attendee's cholesterol. The Nackawic outing was also warmly embraced by the club.
    In new affairs, the club was reminded of the upcoming Oktoberfest run on the 30th of this month. A notice will be posted here over the next few days.
    Gary re-affirmed the Christmas/holiday party  on the 14th of December back at McGinnis Landing. Popular events will include a Yankee swap (of course) and a donation basket.  This year's haul will go to the local Multicultural Association for their work with the recent influx of Syrian refugees. There was much discussion on other activities, but other than a club-wide snowball fight, nothing else made the cut.
    Kelvin then regaled us with the sad story of how Jennie (his new puppy) has developed a taste for seatbelts on his new car.  I almost suggested that the dog just stay home but I know how attached he's become to her.
    Next month's meeting will be held at *(flourish of pipes and drums!)*... Luna Pizza on York Street on the 14th 16th. Those porkchops are melting in my mouth already.
