The Friday Program:
Table Topics, a Home-Grown Program
Starring BBRC Members

Jim Gordon, completing his first year as Program Chairman, informed the membership that the scheduled program had to be cancelled because of an emergency befalling our speaker. Always at the ready, Commander Gordon went for consensus, with President Norm Johnson suggesting a program of “Table Topics.” Instead of someone coming in to give the program, all of the members attending Friday’s meeting became the program.

The gist of the format was to involve each member at every table in the discussion of the following topic: “What recent event in your career, or profession, will have a major impact on society, but has yet to be detected by the mainstream media?” A good question, wouldn’t you say?

The membership was given about five minutes to come up with one person who would pose the question on behalf of his/her table. Each table was numbered and Norm’s straw hat held the numbers which were drawn to see who would report first.

Help You Rotate!

To promote the coming Rotating the Wheels Beach Party, four bums took to the stage to sing, hum, lip synch and generally dance around to a tune called “Help You Rotate.”

With Andrew Face on lead, the floral-patterned quartet sang their hearts out. Helping Andrew harmonize were Chip Erickson, Colly Radford and Norm Johnson.

Johnson was the foil in the ditty ... he was the one they were helping to Rotate! And, to end it all, Curt Cummings showed up in his scuba diving gear, having just popped out of Lake Washington to the Mercer Island Beach Club, the location of the annual Rotating the Wheels dinner. 6:00 p.m. on Friday night, June 24, at the Beach Club. Directions and sign-up available here on the BBRC Website.

Fellowship Chair Special K Kuwahara says that nearly 100 people have signed up to attend. REMEMBER, the club also needs to know if you’re NOT attending. Just stop by the sign-up page on the web and click on NO. But, we’d much rather have you attend. Click on YES and you’re assured of a great time.

Deadline for sign-ups is Monday noon, June 20. REMEMBER also, if you have signed up and for some reason do not attend, you will be billed. After noon next Monday, the list will go in and the food ordered. There’s no turning back!

TO GET YOU INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE EVENT,

AND SING ALONG TO "HELP YOU ROTATE," LYRICS BY ANDREW FACE.
Don't be shy!
