BRAGS
Mark Clarke (Rotarian of the Month): Mark took the opportunity to brag about he and Linda's 44th wedding anniversary! Congratulations to the both of you!!
Leonard Champion: 1st part: the fire department just received a 1.1 million dollar grant for a new ladder truck. 2nd part: he is very proud of the way his fire department team handled the recent Marian building fire. Both of those brags were worth a total of $40.
Dale Johnson: Not sure why, but Dale bragged $16 on hitting 16 red lights on the way to the club meeting this morning.
James Thomas: and his wife Annie, recently celebrated their two year anniversary. We wish you many, many more to come. $25
Mike Gibson: just returned from a great vacation trip to the San Juan Islands in the state of Washington (very near Seattle). He and Marla had a great time. $25
Carol Bradfield: was very proud of her son who recently received his MBA degree and graduated from William and Mary University. That brag was worth $25.
Laurie Tamura: apparently, birthdays abound at the Tamura household during the month of August. They plan on celebrating 8 of them this weekend when they all get together. Laurie is especially looking forward to hers as she offered up a $59 brag (for old times sake). Happy Birthday everyone!
Pat McDermott: also spent some quality time up in the Washington / San Juan Islands area. Being the daredevil he is, he actually wore his Patriots hat into a local Seattle bar. He did however manage to come back in one piece (so he must have done some serious pleading for his life). Anyway, he and Cyndy also had a great time on their vacation trip. He wanted to brag $5 (because that how he rolls), but the Rotarian crowd deservedly shamed him into $25 instead.
FINES
Jim Peterson & Ted Ortega: Weren't around to brag about their recent golf tourney win, so consequently there was a $25 brag for both of them.
Glen Morris: forgot to mention his birthday. When you get to be that age, you tend to forget$30
