Hi everyone! I hope you (by now) have pushed forward your clocks. I had to hustle for Mass this morning! I still got there in time to tip over the tables of the money-changers though. Hey, please take this time to change the batteries in your smoke/fire/carbon monoxide detectors, please! OK, now I am going to act like your father (except to the “old man table” at Rotary) … check your auto inspection stickers and also your plate registration stickers to make sure they are up-to-date! Check your brake lights (was just behind a friend with one “out”) and blinkers and also your drivers license! I am sure to bag one or two of you with these things so hop to it! I would like to thank Steve McDermott (McDermott Electric) for the March 13 version of “Take A TRiz To Lunch Fridays Program”. Those who know him know you always get a “charge” out of Steve. Steve can be reached at 781-389-0738 and is a “preferred vendor” of the TRiz Network (not just because he took me to lunch)! I would like to thank Paul Grasso for picking up the tab of the Tom Rizzo “Take Your Favorite Veteran’s Agent to Breakfast Program” held at the Moose Lodge this morning. Frank Burke, a new Moose himself, was loving it! Inspired by these programs I last night invented the “Take A Rotarian Out Bar Hopping Program”. I will not indentify the Rotarian in order to protect the innocent. Please note that you have to do this with a designated driver. Do not try this at home. We went seven different places, believe it or not, a TRiz record. I would like to sent a shout-out to Maryellen (whom I called Maryann last night, on “O’Doul’s too!) at Kelly’s Landing, the fourth stop on the tour! Wendy at Greer’s was the seventh & final location. Wendy will be joining the TRiz Network this week! O’Doul’s non-alcoholic sales remain strong although I notice most places either don’t carry them or they have to “dust them off”. Can you say skunk?! Answer to the TRiz Trivia question that I never asked you….. did you know that Network member Steven Wayne Spencer is related to Winston Churchill? Steve, you & Winston are both a couple of my all time favorite historical characters. Super time at Reverse Karaoke last Thursday night at Main Street Grille! Congratulations on a job well done young George Raymond! Tickets still available for the Black Velvet Band at Rotary (Hajjar’s) tomorrow night. You know me already….. that and $25 will get you in at 5:30. The band is great, the laughter will flow! Corned beef & cabbage. OK, I realize your short attention spans. TRiz Please check below on the Manny Ramirez Raffle. Problem is that I don’t know which event this is for. Dear God, Sean Maloney help me. YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK OUT THE CALENDAR SECTION OF www.triznetwork.com It is somewhat updated. Get me your event to post! I probably should not have asked that in front of Betsy Harris, there will be no room for other events! I will be holding a seminar to teach all of you how to be in three places at once. Look for more info to follow. Scroll down please…… ________________________________________ From: Anne Marie Gavoni [mailto:agavoni@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2010 5:27 PM To: Thomas Rizzo Subject: Sean asked me to send you this!! Tom, These are the pictures for the boss website of the Red Sox picture for the raffle. If you have any questions just let us know. Thanks so much for your help! Sincerely, Anne Marie Gavoni & Family Final note…….. Subject: Power of prayer Did you know that during WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace? There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America . If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation. If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Please forward this to your praying friends.
