Minutes of the Fourth Congress
The Fourth Congress met on August 7, 2012, at the Famous Neon's Unplugged.
President M. “Ole Double Dicky” Walker gavelled the meeting to order. In attendance were Messers. Martin, Carr, Browne, Griffith, Back and Johnson. Absent was Mr. Stepp, the member that requested the move to Tuesday. (Tsk, Tsk Mr. Stepp.)
Mr. Carr moved, and with a second the motion carried, that at the closing gavel; Mr. Stepp be designated Dicky Ole Boy.
In old business, Mr. Back said an old wooden box will be refurbished to hang in the bar. Mr. Back pledged to attempt to have the box ready for the next Congress. The contents will be limited to each member's discretion, preferably pipes and tobacco, and slots shall be limited to those meetings that contribute top the cost of the lock.
After much cajoling, Mr. Back (aka Neon's co-owner) agreed to provide a round of semi-manly shots on behalf of Neon's. They were accepted with gratitude.
Mr. Griffith reported that there were no on- line applications. And apparently no off-line applications.
After much deliberation, the Club’s official hand shake, created by Mr. R. Browne, was approved although allowing for an individual ending flourish.
After a break for beverages, new business was taken up. A busy day is planned for August 18: a morning trip to Strauss, followed by Knock-Back Nats and then Neon's.
After - again - much deliberation, the club agreed to continue the Tuesday meetings, albeit in the absence of Mr.Stepp who requested the Tuesday meetings.
Mr. Back made a toast. The toast was recalled as being suitable to the occasion but unmemorable in its context.
With the adjournment of the meeting and the closing gavel, Mr. Walker relinquished the Double-Dicky designation. Congratulations Mr. Stepp.

Minutes of the Fifth Congress
The 5th Congress convened at 6:00 p.m. on September 4, 2012, the Famous Neon's Unplugged. President Walker convened the meeting and called the roll. All members were present.
In Old Business, Mr. Back reported that no progress had been made on the pipe cabinet, blaming Hurricane Irene for the delay. Mr. Johnson said he would supply the club's house tobacco thanks to the eight kilos, er, ounces purchased by his well-meaning but confused daughter.
In New Business, the club voted to move to a bimonthly publication of the newsletter. Mr. Carr reported that he will miss the November meeting, along with the World Series and general election, due to a pre-arranged spa treatment. Mr. Carr also reported that Speed Racer Michael Dolch, of Neon's bartending fame, will attempt to reach 200 miles-per-hour next year at the Bonneville Salts Flats. The club's sponsorship will be reflected on the car, and the club will offer support in other ways (nothing sexual).
The club will hold a Strauss visit, meeting the tobacconist at noon on September 22nd. The group will consider possible locations for its winter meetings, and it will also consider arrangements for a holiday party (perhaps something sexual).
The club adjourned the meeting for a round of shots at the bar.
