Why in the hell is the CLC conducting a meeting slap-ass in the middle of your holiday festivities? To quote Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof; “Tradition!” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#00B050'>My people, the CLC membership that is, know that skipping the December meeting messes with the CLC’s “mojo” for the coming year. As the chosen ones, we, the CLC membership, have a duty to preserve our customs and traditions. As I told a Jewish carpenter one day on the construction job site when he approached me to sooth my work related injury, “Don’t touch me man, I’m getting worker’s comp.” (That was then. I’ve changed.) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:red'>Awkwardly segueing to our speaker, Alan Tannenbaum will be presenting a really interesting case study that he has entitled “Mass Defaults by a Homebuilder – Defensive Strategies and Possible Means of Recovery.” I have reviewed some information on Alan’s presentation and it looks fantastic!! (You would have thought that the Mayan calendar would have predicted this calamity long ago). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#00B050'>Please make every effort to join us on Monday, December 10<sup>th</sup> at 11:30 a.m.. Call-in instructions are contained on the attached Notice of Meeting and Agenda.
