This was taken before the “crash”. That damn flag pole jumped right out in front of me!

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the 50th Annual Glutton Memorial Day Pignic has been canceled. The board of directors also canceled all reservations and events scheduled in June.

We’re still hoping that we can have GMVB on August 1. We’ll have a better idea of whether that might happen at or shortly after the board meeting on June 2.

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the board of directors has implemented the following changes:

• Meetings: The April board meeting took place online on Tuesday, April 7. The membership meeting set for April 24th has been canceled.
• Guests Restricted: The board of directors voted to allow ONLY members at the club and request that those who do go to the club practice social distancing.
• Reservations and Events:  We will look at these each month and make decisions as they approach. All deposits will be returned if your reservation has to be canceled. So, for now, no social events will be allowed on club premises until further notice.
• Deck Construction: Work will continue on the rebuilding of the deck using a skeleton crew.
• Cardinal Game: May 4 – Canceled

We presented 2.5 new videos at the Glutton Christmas Party. Here they are.

Visitation is Friday from 4-8 pm at Bopp Chapel in Kirkwood. Funeral Mass will be Saturday at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Brentwood. The full obituary.

We’ve updated our method to make payments and purchases online.? We have a new Square store that members can use to pay their dues and/or reservation fees, etc., and we’ll also be able to take event registration fees from the same system.??

1. will take you to Member Payments (for dues and fees)
2. will take you to Donations where you can contribute to different functions and fundraisers.
3. will take to to the Events section where you’ll be able to register for events like GMVB or Trivia Nights.

He developed pneumonia and infection and was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Clayton last Friday. They decided to put him on hospice care and sedated him.? He was returned to the nursing home on Tuesday and died about ten minutes after arriving there. He was a member of the Gluttons for several years in the mid to late 80s.

Mickey will be cremated and there will be no service.

Dan McGuire, the less attractive one in the photo at right, suffered a heart attack Sunday morning (December 30). Dan was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital where they roto-rootered his clogged coronary artery and installed a stent to keep the blood flowing. He was in intensive-care Sunday but was expected to move to a regular room Monday. He was up and moving Sunday evening and is on the mend.

Dan said he feels good and they’ll keep him for 3 days because if anything goes wrong it usually happens within those three days. He appreciates your thoughts and prayers and says there’s no need to pay a hospital visit and hopes to see you all soon.

Update: Dan was discharged on New Years Day so he can recuperate at home.

 

The Gluttons will gather together at the Corner Bar in St. Charles on the evening after Thanksgiving, Friday, November?23rd from 7 to 11 pm for a fun evening of 3-pin bowling and fun times.?
