Happy Bucks were contributed by Warren Johnson for President Natalie's trivia questions; Anthony Titus because both he and his wife are beginning a masters degree program in public safety; Eric Tonk so we would NOT sing in honor of his birthday; Gene Ayers for getting the holiday lights down from the South Shore Station; Dick Hagelberg for Eric Tonk helping him get his Sanitary District billing straightened out; Dorreen Carey for the results of the elections in Georgia; Joyce Davis just because she is happy; Natalie Johnson for her new pet; Wendel Carey for meeting up with Joyce's husband Bill recently; Zully Alvarado for the new technology which enabled her to communicate during the holidays with family in Ecuador; and Mike Doyne for the 17 participants in our meeting, noting this is larger than in person meeting attendance.
