and what the refugees from civic clubs aka
officers & board members

Refugees from civic clubs?? WELL SAID. All but one of our board
members is retired, and those guys take turns passing around the job
when voting time comes around. So no one new ever gets in.

I swear you must have been there, at least in spirit. Hey... wait a
minute... you didn't sneak down here to our club meetings in your late
disappearance from here did you? Is that how you pegged it so close?
