The Religion section of the Arizona Republic for Saturday
had a notice in the meetings section stating that the Arizona Co$
was holding a 25th anniversary service at 11:00 Sunday,
followed by an open house from 1:00 to 5:00.

Jeff Jacobsen and Kathy and I arrived at 10:30 to picket.
There were 9 cars in the parking lot, and by 11:15 only
two more had arrived, which included Leslie Dohrman,
the current OSA maven.

One of the cars was an SUV with AZ vanity plates "ARCKRC",
parked by the side of the building and adorned with a 
red wrapping bow on the front grill.  

If this is the turnout for the bOrg's 25th Anniversary then:

a)  There are less than 25 active Co$ members in the
     Phoenix area;

b)  They are using the patented Co$  "hiding tech"
     and either bussed in the members early or
     purposely gave a fake time in the newspaper;

c)  All the members stayed away out of fear of
    being regged by the Grinches of the OSA.

Any of the above absolutely delights me!

When I drove by just before 1:00 there were still
about the same number of cars there.
