Our Knight on Broadway and President, Peter Carter is a bit under the weather and has asked that I send out this week's newsletter.
A very special dinner this week as The Los Gatos Social Club dines at Three Degrees at the Toll House. Several of you missed dinner at California Cafe and, upon hearing about just how marvelous it was, have been suffering deep regret ever since. Do not err again!
This week we all go back to College. Well, sort of. This week, we will gather for cocktails at the lovely home of club member Colleen Wilcox. Located on College Avenue. We will gather at the usual time, 6:30pm, and then move to Three Degrees an hour or so later.
Thank you so very much to Joan Perry for hosting cocktails at her home last week. As always, a great act of generosity shall be recognized by a well deserved, bone-fide title. We don't take this lightly. Our research department is diligently investigating and searching for an appropriate title for Joan, she does after all own a castle!
Upcoming Summer Fun
Our summer calendar is filling up: Check it out at http://www.losgatossocialclub.org/2008calendar. Lots of fun theme parties hosted by our generous club members.
Next week we move to Thursdays. The first Jazz on the Plazz concert is Wednesday June 25th and The Los Gatos Social Club will assemble at 45 Broadway on Thursday June 26th. It's The World’s Greatest Tacos and Tequila Tasting hosted by Señor y Señora. Carter at 45 Broadway. We are happy to announce the first Los Gatos Social Club guacamole contest will coincide with this south of the border spectacle. If you believe that you make the best guacamole in Los Gatos, this is your chance to prove it. Bring a large bowl guac and enter the contest. Many club members have been "talkin' smack" about their guac recipes so our judges will settle the issue once and for all- well at least until the next contest!
Reminders
* Opening Jazz on the Plazz concert Wednesday June 25 at 6:30pm
* Opening Music in the Park concert Sunday June 22 at 5:00pm
We know that many of you are embarking this summer on adventurous travel; and we invite you to hold a special Los Gatos Social Club meeting wherever you find yourself. Accordingly, I have attached a “Special Meeting” sign for you to print out and take on your trip. Photograph your gathering incorporating your own “Special Meeting” sign (see below) and submit it for inclusion here in The Los Gatos Social Club’s prestigious weekly email. Additionally, we will have a judging at the end of the summer and award titles and prizes of great value for photos of meetings in the following categories:
· Most creative
· Most fun
· Most unusual
· Lewdest
In the meantime, life does go on here is our great Town of Los Gatos. Isn't it wonderful?
Hope to see you Wednesday for cocktails at Colleen's and dinner at Three Degrees.
Warm regards,
Jonathan
Joke of the Week
Smart Cowboy
A young cowboy from Oklahoma goes off to college, but half way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered all his money.
He calls home. "Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Stillwater that will teach our dog, Ol' Blue how to talk!"
"That's amazing," his Dad says. "How do I get Ol' Blue in that program?"
"Just send him down here with $1,000" the young cowboy says. "I'll get him in the course."
So, his father sends the dog and $1,000. About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out.
The boy calls home."
So how's Old' Blue doing, son," his father asks.
"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this - they've had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!"
"Read!" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?"
"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class."
The money promptly arrives. But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog.
When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited. "Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!"
"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing' around with that little redhead down at the bank?"
The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot that son of a gun before he talks to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.
