BRAGS
Pictured: Mark and ???
Mark Bachman (Rotarian of the Month): Keeping with a long standing club tradition for this high honor.....he was naturally absent. I'm sure he'll make up for it next week.
Mark Clarke: recently returned from his vacation from his permanent vacation (Ah...retirement). Anyway, he and Linda traveled all around visiting at least five national parks in five different states (I think??). They ultimately wound up in Idaho where they visited with Bob and Marcy Fredlein. He talked Kristine into letting him brag at no charge since he missed the last few weeks. but the membership would have none of that. So under duress, he reluctantly bragged $25. Thanks Mark!
Jim Peterson: had a birthday last week. He started out with a $25 brag, but bumped it up to $63 for the Foxen Fund.
Jerry Walsh: also had a birthday. He bragged $63 as well.
Tony Spinelli: he and his wife are now "empty nesters" since their daughter recently went off to college. They tried to offset their sorrow by going to Cancun. I think it did the trick because it was worth a $50 brag.
Dan Blough: bragged on his grandmothers 101'st birthday that she recently celebrated. That is an awesome milestone to achieve. Wishing her best wishes from the club! Dan donated $101 to the Foxen Fund.
Terry Dworaczyk: recently returned from a 10 day motorcycle trip to celebrate his birthday. $100
Abel Maldonado: was very proud of his son Dino. Dino is the quarterback for St. Joseph High School and he had a spectacular showing last week that resulted in four touchdowns. Abel bragged $50 to the Foxen Fund.
Kristine Mollenkopf: thanked Leonard Champion for being a guest speaker at her Antlers meeting last week at the Elks Lodge. $25
Lee Carroll: bragged that he has been chosen Rotary Assistant District Governor for 2018-19. $25
Ken Bradley: had a 16th wedding anniversary and he also was very proud of his daughter Ava, who recently made the volleyball team as an underclassman. Congrats on both events$36
Kate Ferguson: bragged $25 on the club for purchasing all of her available raffle tickets for Shoes for Students.
FINES
Chris Hastert: (for being a tad late) $25
Ryan Swack: (glad for the rain, even though it was short lived) $25
