After-Action Report – May 24, 2025
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
April’s BNO, in our 19th year of monthly meetings, was held at Dean Cernek’s wonderful place in Falcon. We enjoyed the company of twelve (12) men: Rick Mann, Charlie Clark, Russell Whitesel, Mike Smith, Dan Emig, Dean Cernek, Roi Steiner, Mark Ethington, Carl Crews, Don Klein, William Linton, and Nate Vollrath.
For all who were unable to attend, we missed you and look forward to seeing you next month.
Given the choice between a woman and a cigar, I will always choose the cigar. — Groucho Marx
A Very Special Thanks to:
- Dean Cernek, thank you for allowing us to meet, eat, and smoke in your back yard.
- Everyone who brought a dish or drink to share.
- Charlie Clark, who continues, year after year, to provide top-quality cigars – a true labor of love and a faithful servant.
- Each man, and his willingness to trust The Circle, share from the heart, and provide support to those in need.
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
It’s Time To Wear The Pants
Note to newbies and first-time attendees: No two BNOs are alike. Each meeting takes 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!
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It’s one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear. – Aldous Huxley
Next BNO? June 20, 2025 – Paul Martinez’s home
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
Rick
