[QUOTE="thebeav, post: 2546747, member: 8880"]I'm glad that it worked out. Many years ago, I graduated with K through 12 certification and had often thought of starting such a club when I landed a job. After a few years of subbing, I gave up the teaching idea completely. I was an Industrial Arts guy. When I entered school they were screaming for IA guys, four years later we were no longer in demand. Opened my shop a couple years later. A school bus would drop off some kids everyday in front of my store. They would come flying in and we would play a game every day. I would fish a world coin out of the bin and they would have to tell me the country. When correct, they could keep the coin. Sometimes the looks of agony were priceless, as they really wanted that coin. Fast forward 30 years and one of the kids stops in my store (I had moved by then). "Do you remember me ?", he says......Of course I did, and he went on to tell me how much that little game had meant to him all those years ago..... You have to feed those kids ! Paul[/QUOTE]
