Greetings Prophets and Ladies,
Well, it’s been an interesting month. As many of you know,
we had an incredible cleaning party in the kitchen last month. Plus, anyone who was at the
one Friday night dinner can attest, the kitchen exhaust fan ceased to be operational. Ron
Davis and his brother, attempted to get to it from the
outside to repair it. Unfortunately, given all of their efforts, they were
unsuccessful. I want to personally thank the both of them for taking the time and risking
their resources to aid the No-Ruz Grotto. As it was, our vent hood was in need of a
mandatory service anyway. The problem with the fan turned out to be a broken belt. Prophet
and past potentate Steve Vessels’ company PureAir took care of both issues for a
reasonable price, which turned out to be the day prior to a surprise I inspection by the
Health Department. I’m very pleased to report that the Health Department found
“No Violations” at the No-Ruz Grotto. Again, my thanks to all who helped clean
the kitchen and to those that are keeping it clean.
We now have draft beer at the bar. Brand? COLD. It will generally
be
either Miller Lite or Bud Light, depending on what’s been left over from the last
back hall event. If it goes well, we may elect to make it a semi-permanent fixture at the
bar. The cooler will still have to go to the back hall for special events.
As many of you know, I went on vacation in August. Debbie and I went to Florida for a week
with her kids. I was absent from my duties as “head bartender” for a Tuesday and
two full weekends due to this. I’d like to thank everyone who stepped up to cover my
absence, especially Bill Lockard. Thank God for members like Bill.
Our sales on Tuesdays and Saturdays generally represent the
purchases I make, while waiting on folks to show up. As the Monarch, I am ultimately
responsible for the financial well being of the No-Ruz Grotto; therefore don’t be
surprised if you wake up to find the Grotto closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays (except of
course when events are planned). We simply cannot afford to continue taking these losses.
I welcome anyone who will volunteer to coordinate events for these days. I’d really
prefer to play darts or clabber rather than to sit there by myself. My plate is a little
full, so are there any volunteers for this task?
Until next month I remain,
Yours in the Faith,
Roger A. Fuchs, Monarch 2011
No-Ruz Grotto M.O.V.P.E.R.
