What happened last week Board Meeting
Joke of the Week A gentleman in the old West was riding in a stagecoach. Suddenly, a man riding a horse pulled up to the left side of the stagecoach, and a riderless horse pulled up on the right. The man leaned down, pulled open the door, and jumped off his horse into the stagecoach. Then he opened the door on the other side and jumped on the other horse. Just before he rode off, the passenger yelled out: "What was that all about?" The rider replied, "Nothing - it's just a stage I'm going through."
