Coercion

Strawberry CheesecakeThursday is bring a friend to Lions Club day. Actually our friends all know about our Lions obsession and if they aren’t in it with us then they ain’t gonna be anytime soon. ERGO the next available option is to coerce an acquaintance to visit the club. Well, you may prefer another method; sweet talk, strong arm, bribe…

I use the bribe method. Usually the first thing out of my mouth is how great the desserts are at the Columbine CafĂ©. Look, we need some young energy and those warm bodies will need a lot of sugar to keep ’em going. Works for me and I expect it should work for you.

OK, so my track record on actual sign-ups is pretty dismal. If I remember correctly, to date it is zero. I’m not proud of it but that notwithstanding I’m not about to throw in the towel. This Thursday I expect to have at least two warm bodies looking for a sugar high, maybe three.

New Website

A visitor to our club, Flash Alexander (I know, crazy name) complimented us on our fine lunches, particularly your deserts but was not too complimentary when discussion turned to our website. After spending quality time at the Harmony Grill with the club treasurer Tobey Yadon, it was agreed that Flash would register a domain name on our behalf and rebuild our website from the ground up.

He went on and on about it, maybe because of the large quantities of iced tea he was drinking. I for one find the new site more appealing in an artistic sense; great color pallet, nice font selections and waaaay better organized.

I guess Flash would not mind it if you called him on the phone and inquired about his services. He certainly seems to know what he is doing.
