April Meeting: President Rick Peterson called the 8 p.m. meeting to order at 8:12 p.m. Fr. Roger led the opening prayer. Secretary’s Report: The secretary’s report was read by Vice President Duffy Vaughan. Secretary Kevin Cole returns to monthly meeting duties on May 1 and is glad to be back. Work prevents attendance on Tuesdays. The secretary wishes to thank the VP, the P and other VIPS for keeping things QT while he was AWOL. Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Fred Bender predicted a rosy net profit from our 25th year of fish fries. He also noted that the club will need about $5,000 that profit to replace a deep fryer. Athletic Report: AD Ken Long  that the eighth-grade boys fished the season at 15-4 after placing third at the always competitive St. Margaret Mary tournament. Mr. Long also reminds us that the annual Holy Name Athletic Banquet will be held Friday, May 5, in the cafeteria. Dinner at 6 p.m. to be followed by a talk by former Nebraska tight end Vershan Jackson. Old Business: The 25th annual “Holy Name Frydays of Lent” fish fries produced a record 15,319  customers. Four times we topped 2,400 dinner guests. That’s never been done before. Our official crowd counts: 1,757 (pre-Lenten kickoff); 2,047; 2,423; 1,787 (St. Patrick’s Day); 2,486 (setting a single night record); 2,415 and  2,404. Our average was 2,188 (another record). Congratulations and thanks to all the volunteers who have made the fish fry one of Omaha’s finest traditions. One of our newer traditions, Breakfast with the Men’s Club, is moving to the first Sunday of each  month starting on June 4. There will not be a May pancake breakfast. New Business: Not much in the way of new business. Pat Albright volunteered that he is leaving for the Bahamas on vacation on April 29. Four to five members made motions to urge the U.S. to close its borders on April 30 “for the good of the country.” News & Notes: Some leftover moments from the Holy Name Frydays of Lent. The 2006 fish fries were besieged by politicians because of the election year. A young man named Jim Esch, who is running for the House of Representatives, gets our “All Business” award. We like politicians who quietly go about their business cleaning tables. ... A couple of other mentions (and you know we can’t talk about everyone that deserves it) include Tom LaHood for the “Golden Throat” award for attending all seven nights as our most genial master of ceremonies. We wonder if Tom is sometimes overheard singing “Happy Birthday” in his sleep. ... Bill Wilson gets the “Man Who Holds Us Together” award and if you don’t know why, we can’t help you. ....  The April attendance drawing went to Denny Peterson, who recently turned 63 and was spotted celebrating with some of his brothers at the Nifty Bar. Speculation on Denny’s last visit to the Nifty included “1966 and Never.” ... The Calcutta drawing went to Rick Peterson. No report on how much was claimed. ... Horseshoe  winners: 1, Pat Albright-Dave Kozol. 2, Mike Albright-Bill Wilson. 3, Ron Miller-Jim Watson. ... The All-School Reunion Party will be held Saturday, June 10 in the Performing Arts Center (aka Little Gym). The party will be hosted by the classes of 1976, 1986 and 1966. The Tony Pflug All-Star Band featuring Mary Frances and Jeff Morris will begin at 8 p.m. The cost is $15 per person and includes all beverages. All alumni, parishioners and friends of Holy Name are invited.
