Ivars

[Bob and Judy Holmes <jbholmes@nwlink.com>]

Here's what happened at Ivars. At the end during all the stress and 
confusion over the bill, I somehow inadvertently picked up some cash ($49) 
that was on the table in front of me, thinking it was the money I had set 
down there before I decided to use the credit card and hold onto my cash 
for the auction. This left a discrepancy of $49 that Rick ended up paying 
as he left a little later than the rest of us. Susan issued Rick a check to 
cover his expenses. I was figuring that Ivars had made a mistake, it would 
be our word against theirs, and we would probably have to bite the bullet 
on this one.
During the auction I decided to count my cash reserves again in preparation 
to bid on June's clown loaches and that's when I discovered the extra cash 
which I immediately returned to Susan.
So, Ivars is happy, the club has suffered no loss, and I am sitting here 
feeling extremely embarrassed, about two inches tall and very angry at 
myself for allowing this senior moment to occur.
I am so sorry for the stress and inconvenience that this event has generated.
Lessons learned (hopefully) on my part,in regard to future "speaker dinners":
     Insist on separate checks
     The president is the last one to leave
