SERGEANT At Arms Tidbits
John zoomed in from the Okanagan to say that the National Anthem sounded awful on zoom.
Garth replied that John was lucky he wasn't there.
Judy once again denied she was organizing a karaoke night.
Dalbir was heard to say Damn under his breath - although it was audible on zoom and in perfect key.
Mary Lou said that Alan was not discouraged enough to sell his vintage car.
Dalbir was once again heard to say Damn under his breath - and once again audible on zoom but not so perfect.
Kal was seen to walk across the room and back for no apparent reason other than to show off.
Bobby, who has insisted we pay for the Christmas dinner in cash was seen counting small unmarked bills while everyone else was distracted putting together shoe boxes.
At that point Bobby looked up into the eyes watching on Zoom and quickly broke the connection.
No one knows what happened next. Although we'll see if Sam has a second black eye. We know you cannot get a black eye from singing karaoke - unless you are really bad.
Meanderings
Yes, you guessed it - today is National Bartenders Day. Actually, yesterday December 2.
NATIONAL BARTENDER DAY ACTIVITIES
Leave your bartender an extra tip
About 55% of a bartender's take-home pay comes from tips, so give them something a little special.
Try a new cocktail at your local bar
Mix it up with a new drink! Whether it's a Salty Dog or a Pisco Sour, take a sip of something you've never tried before.
Be your own bartender for the night
If you can't make it out tonight, try mixing a new drink at home. There are tons of recipes online to try.
Cocktail Trivia.
How popular are margaritas?
Actual research shows that, on average, Americans consume 185,000 margaritas per hour.
Raise your glass for a (piece of) toast
Ancient Romans would put a piece of toast in their glass for good health, which is where we get the term "to toast."
Bubble-licious!
Every bottle of champagne has about 49 million bubbles!
All hands on boxes! Joyce led us through a box filling, box wrapping, box checking, box packing and card writing frenzy, which was highly successful. We managed to complete almost 50 boxes. Bravo! See our Social media posts on website, Facebook and Instagram for some photos. Great job, Rotarians
