Praise for the Franklin Township Police Department, of Somerset, NJ!

We at the BK Club would like to give special recognition to the Franklin Township Police Department located in Somerset, NJ for their dedicated and selfless work for the community. It is through our personal experience and observation that we can attest that the FTPD lives up to and goes beyond their mission statement; which is:

"to protect and enhance the quality of life ... to promote a safe and secure environment, free from crime and the fear of crime, for all who live, work or visit our community ... while maintaining public peace and order through fair, impartial enforcement of the law ... and challenging the future with a spirit of optimism and innovation."

It is always a pleasure for the BK Club to share the back porch at Bobby's on Saturday mornings with the FTPD. It gives us an opportunity to get to know and eat alongside Franklin's Finest. Keep up the good work. You have our unwavering support and hope we continue to see the Franklin Township Police Department on Saturday mornings at Bobby's.

The 4th week of the BK weight loss program has arrived and all of the six entrants have voluntarily weighed in on the official BKWRP scale. It appears that we are all moving in the right direction, however, anyone who says "it's not about winning, it's about getting healthy" is serving up a load of garbage. It's all about winning!

The BKWRP committee has approved a proposal by BC-2 to invest $100 of entry fees collected in a single box of a Super Bowl grid pool. Should the box return any winnings, the winner of the BKWRP is entitled to those winnings. If the box fails to return any winnings, the winner will be awarded the $20 remaining from the entry fees collected. This proposal was received far better than the other proposal by BC-2 which was to punish contestants if they did not reach a specified threshold. Although I do admire the creativity of BC-2, it does suggest a high level of intimacy with gambling. This has some members in the BK Club concerned. 

BC-6 - This new proposal was instituted without your consent but we all felt you would be ok with the prospect of increased winnings.   

Please note, I have gone to great lengths to protect the identity of all plus-size BK members. 

Key:
BKWRP - Breakfast Club Weight Reduction Program
BC-x - Beauty Contestant

BK Public Service Announcement: A large imposing man was seen getting into a luxury SUV in a local school parking lot. Witnesses have stated he was somewhat disheveled, dressed rather haggardly and was prone to excessive profanity. The perpetrator was observed pressing buttons on the dashboard in an attempt to start the vehicle when the owner of the car appeared. A confrontation ensued but the owner of the vehicle was able to diffuse the situation without any violence. The perpetrator then quickly jumped into a strikingly similar luxury SUV and sped away while shouting out the window, "I'm in the BK Club. We don't steal cars."

BK Members & family - Please be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. The BK Club does not, in any way, condone this type of behavior. If it is shown that a BK Club member was in fact involved, the situation will be handled internally.

There has been talk of the BK Club producing a podcast about who we are and what we do but talks seemed to have come to a halt. Discussions were going fine until the subject came up about who's voice would be more suited for a podcast. The first arm to go up was the BK member who claims to be the best bus driver in the group as well the best plumber. I can vouch for the plumbing claim but have no veracity for the bus driving claim. This may be a project that will take some time to develop.
