As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
July’s BNO celebrated our 20th year of monthly meetings and was held on Bruce Hoover’s backyard gravel patio. We enjoyed the company of eleven men: Bill Smoldt and Bob Harrison (two of BNO’s original attendees), Bruce Hoover, Charlie Clark, Rick Mann, Dan Emig, William Linton, Tony Knouf, Chad Schell, Russell Whitesell, and Nate Volrath.
We enjoyed a wonderful evening of reminiscing, as each man shared his favorite memory of BNO’s past.
Given the choice between a woman and a cigar, I will always choose the cigar. — Groucho Marx
A Very Special Thanks to:
Each attendee, and his willingness to trust The Circle, share from the heart, and provide support to those in need.
Sherry Hoover, for her homemade Pulled Chicken & Sloppy Joe entrees in support of our traditional BNO meeting meal.
All who provided food and drink to complement the main course and add to the buffet dinner.
Charlie Clark, who continues, year after year, to provide top-quality $5 and $7 cigars – a true labor of love.
Dan Emig for capturing the moment with photos
Note to newbies and first-time attendees: no two BNOs are alike. Each seems to take on its own persona, direction, agenda, etc. We’d love to see you again! If you couldn’t make it this month, join us another time. You’re always welcome!
Two are better than one… If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!… Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Next BNO? August 21st
Location: TBD
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:13-14
