Ken & Lloyd of Scandals want you to please donate generously to the March of Dimes campaign at Scandals as a way to thank Kmart for allowing the use of their parking lot. All donations will be presented to Kmart Manager Marcos Espinosa on behalf of all Scandals customers. Let’s all show Kmart how much we appreciate them!

My apologies to Tim German, whom I neglected to mention teaches line dancing on Monday and Tuesday at Scandals Saloon. Roger teaches the two-step lessons on Thursday. Now that that’s all cleared up – get on down to the saloon on any of those nights and learn how to dance like the real cowboys do!

LeatherWerks & Slammer have teamed up and want you to “Get Werked Over!” as they start their monthly Leather Night next Thursday, May 8th, at Slammer. You get $5 off admission if you are wearing leather AND have a Discount Card available at LeatherWerks, which will have free giveaways at their store for the first 100 men who come in and pick up a discount card.

Take care, Rich.
