National spokespeople say that might have affected the election results, so they say members will vote again within a month.
Until then, Martin Jeffrey remains president.

Bingo proceeds help the volunteer rescue squad pay its bills.

From the very open of Cookin' Cheap on PBS, you can tell that this isn't your ordinary cooking show. It's been that way for almost 20 years. This week Laban Johnson and Larry Bly started taping their 19th season of the now nationally syndicated program. Who's watching? The demographics cross all boundaries. From gradeschoolers who liken the show to a three stooges cook off to college kids on a low budget and old ladies who send them gifts. From the vast amounts of letters they get you can tell they know how to keep a CAPTIVE audience.
(6:24 on beta- I'm in a NJ prison...well one more year I've got to watch you guys, hahhahahah 6:33))
The pace of the show is upbeat but the stars have slowed down a bit since 1996 when Laban had a serious heart attack. This will be the duo's first season back on a full 26 episode schedule.
(1:45:03- I cant do very much...cooking prone, we hope not we hope not 1:45:16)
As the show approaches the new millennium its obvious that the ones in front of the camera aren't the only reason for its success.

(2:10:21 You know I'm 67 years old...big plus for me- 2:10:37)
