Reminder of the potluck tonight at 6:30 at Bradenton....
looking forward to seeing my neighbors clearly enough to put the name with the face. You all look alike with your rump sticking out of a flower bed!

Default News flash

THE MAYOR OF GILCHRIST (209 & 210) WAS ELECTED THE GOVERNOR OF GILCHRIST TONIGHT

Some people reported that he spent his evening handing out money to buy his way into the position. It looks like the "Governor" will be replacing his current staff. Money talks in Gilchrist.

And here I thought all that money flying around was for the purpose of buying his retirement present. LOL

Looked like he could have been declared the President of All Gilchrist with the huge turnout tonight. Hope you all had fun.

Don't worry A-4, no staffing reductions are anticipated! How could we replace you??? There is, however, going to be an additional Mayoral Appointment which will be forthcoming.

You know how government is...with the Administrative Dept being AWOL, we have to expand to better serve the people!!!!

I do believe that all has been forgiven regarding the errant 10 iron shot even though it did cost me a Coor Light at Havana Country Club after the round. Fortunately the ball hit the clubs mounted behind the cart and not the cart itself. I was afraid that I was going to have to ask Jimbo to come back home to do the body work for a good price!!!

I kid you not . . . . . . the Governor really does have a 10 iron in his bag. (I better keep my mouth shut cause I have a 1 iron in mine. It's good for hitting "worm burners" when you are under a clump of trees or trying to get out of some homeowners shrubs)

Now I understand. We're in 211...guess we'll have to see if there will be Giiybrations in our neck of the woods.

Congratulations Your Worship or is it 'Your Worship', we don't know what to call Governors, we don't have them in the UK!

What ever we have to call you it is well deserved, just a bit concerned that we may be laid off whilst we are not there to take the case to a neighbourhood tribunal for compensation.

We just hope that there is enough in the coffers to cover it, if money has been thrown about willy-nilly to gain the position!

Well that's a relief, at least we still have a job.

Not sure if we can afford to keep expanding the staff without increasing taxes, we already have the Administration Dept, the PERCS and the FLAPS, what next?

How can the 'old' Mayor of Gilchrist be the Governor of only 209 and 210, won't that cause civil unrest, he obviously didn't throw enough money around to secure the full vote?

Default Gilchrist Pot Luck Dinner 6/26/13

Okay, for all of your out of towners here's some pics of the Pot Luck dinner that was held at the Bradenton Rec Center last night. I think that the coordinators were a little overwhelmed at the response they received. But, our thanks go out to Claire & the Euclid Terrace group who organized and put on the event!!!
