Millard Fillmore Help Topics for November

As the next Millard Fillmore trip approaches (less than 3 months) I started thinking, how could the Brewhaha help Suds members? The result of that thinking is the Millard Fillmore Help Topics. Each month I will bring you some sort of assistance to improve and extend your Millard Fillmore weekend.





This months topic: So you don't ski:



There is still plenty to do in The Dells. Even in January!



* You can lounge around the pool.

* You can enjoy one of the worlds greatest bloody mary's at the Ho-Chunk Casino.

* If the bloody mary is not your bag you can have a Strohs beer and while playing roulette or in the off track betting area of the Ho-Chunk!

* One of my favorite spots is the Forevertron. Some call it a garbage sculpture, I call it genius!

* I have never been to the Circus World Museum but rumor has it that it is a great place to confront one's coulrophobia.

* A winter sport that does not involve strapping your feet to wooden planks. What is Snow-tubing?

* I love this place! Moose Jaw is a good spot for lunch and a better spot for beer. I recommend the Milk Stout, or if your interested in trying a few get the sampler. They give you about 5 oz of each beer on tap for under $10.

* No trip to Wisconsin is complete without a Cow Pie.

* Finally, if you want to pretend that it is not the middle of winter, I hear that Marley's has a nice Jamaican Breeze year round.

Secretary's Report - No report, 1 request. I need a .jpeg (or other electronic file) of the Suds Logo.

- Al visited the hotel. The are under new ownership, but same management. He reserved our dates.
- John is checking rates and will advise of the price before the next meeting.
- Pricing structure may change. The member discount ($5) is not enough incentive to become a member. So we may change the discount to $10 or $15. More discussion is needed.

Events:
- Zoo Stagger was a success! Many Huzzas were said in Melissa's honor. A check will be issued to reimburse her for the expenses.
- Many options have been discussed for a Christmas Party. It has finally been decided that a dinner party, someplace in the suburbs will be best. Rene will be contacting restaurants and getting something set up before the next meeting.

Membership:

Millard Fillmore Help Topics for October

As the next Millard Fillmore trip approches (less than 4 months) I started thinking, how could the Brewhaha help Suds members? The result of that thinking is the Millard Fillmore Help Topics. Each month I will bring you some sort of assistance to improve and extend your Millard Fillmore weekend.

The Out of Office Assistant

We will all come up with a way to get out of the office early that Friday afternoon. It seems necessary to include a great out of office reply so that our coworkers, customers, suppliers and what-have-you all know that we are not getting back to them till Monday. Or perhaps Tuesday! (as usual I have stolen the following, this time from an anonymous source)

I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood.

You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.

Sorry to have missed you, but I am at the doctor's having my brain and heart removed so I can be promoted to our management team.

I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from vacation. Please be patient and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.

Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first 10 words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.

The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again. (The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see how many in-duh-viduals did this over and over.)

Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.

Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.

I've run away to join a different circus.

I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as 'Loretta' instead of 'Steve'
