He is here tonight to talk to us about the HF-Lima-Mendon website and Lima Family Day. Dan explained how each community will be able to add items to this calendar so that it can be shared between each of us. He showed us what it should look like once it is finalized. He hopes that our club will consider signing up so we can add our activities to it.

Dan also talked to us about the Lima Crossroads upcoming Family Fun Day. It is set for August 7th. He explained the changes and additional events that will be held on that day. He is looking for help to run some of the events. He also offered us the opportunity to run the Car Show and sell food there. This is something our club will discuss at our next board meeting.

Joke of the Week

Birthday Miracles...

All of his life Len from Cape Breton had heard stories of an amazing family tradition. It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 21st birthday. On that day, they'd walk across the lake to the boat club for their first legal drink.
So when Len's 21st birthday came around, he and his pal Corky took a boat out to the middle of the lake. Len stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned!
Corky just managed to pull him to safety. Furious and confused, Len went to see his grandmother. 'Grandma, it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk across the lake, like my father, his father, and his father before him?'
Granny looked Len straight in the eyes, and said, 'Because, you idiot, your father, grandfather and great grandfather was born in January, you were born in July.'
