Feb.'s Brimmer

I am bacccccccccccccccccccccck, thanks to the efforts of our President, the writers strike has been settled, It would have been settled months ago, but I got Obie to be my shop steward, it took awhile to settle the strike. Obie does the same wonderful job negotiating for his fellow workers at Origlio’s, right Mo?

Jan. 20th, we had our annual Beef and Beer at Finnigan’s Wake, we raised over $4,000. Which will go towards needed repairs to our Home, there are a lot of thank you’s to go around, But special thanks go to the manager of Finnigan’s, Jim Masiak and his staff who, again out did themselves, also to Paul Moore and Paddy’s Well, who put on a great show, also, Obie, Peggy, “Door”Matt, Terry, Beth, Donna, John and Eileen, if anyone feels slighted, I apologize in advance, also, to our Members who really came out, sold tickets, etc., we had over 220 people there, it is good to see such a turnout and realize what we can do, if we all get together, awesome job, everyone! Also special thanks to Jimbo who put us over the top with the one ticket that he sold, he didn’t even buy it from himself but got it from Joe Kilian instead!

While working the door, our hero, Matty, sees an older gentleman come in the door and he yells out “Billy Gibbons”, well, it wasn’t Billy our hero then stated that all older gentlemen look alike, oh Matty, you’ve done it again. As some of you may know, Matty’s sister, Barb, was in the hospital briefly, I walk into the bar and overhear Matty telling his Dad, Obie, that “Barb was stable”, I have to admit that is the first time that I heard Barb and stable in the same sentence. We are going to have a beef and beer for the softball team, straight from Vegas, that is the diner down the shore not the gambling Mecca, but straight from the diner, making his comedy debut, will be Tom Healey, make sure that you get your tickets for this on, stay tuned, you can check the webpage for updates, Also, I am looking into a few trips, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs is a definite, looking into the Reading Phillies as well, again, stay tuned.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you Sweethearts!
