BRAGS
Rotarian of the Month:
Terri Stricklin was given one last chance to brag as Rotarian of the month, since December was a short month for Rotary meetings. She bragged on her staff at work for all their hard work during the holidays, and on our club for being good customers.
Rotarians of the Month for January are:
Mike Gibson and Dave Wright; thanks to both of them for all their work on the Great Parade.
Mike bragged on the parade; his 22nd year doing it, and the best crowd ever. He also bragged on the fantastic Marion Float
Dave thanked the club for all the help on the Parade
Mike Moats bragged on his 27th wedding anniversary. He invited us to support the Noontime Kiwanis who are producing an 18 month calendar, featuring the men of Kiwanis. We all have the opportunity to donate $100 for an add to be placed in the calendar. All this for a total brag of $100.
Wayne Miller bragged $100. He has missed some meetings due to his brother who is fighting cancer. They went on hunting trips to CO and ID and were in Salmon, ID during the Polar Vortex: the $100 brag is for surviving
Kate Ferguson bragged $25 on Carl DeRiso. She just bought a new Toyota and thanks to Carl it was a simple process.
Teresa Rayburn bragged $50 on Kristine Mollenkopf who helped her out of an extremely binding lease.
Debbie Blow bragged $30 on spending the holidays in Wyoming with her family.
Jim Peterson bragged $50 on Ryan Swack who helped a friend get into the Radisson New years party.
Mike Gibson bragged on Shannon for enhancing our scholarship fund. She helped us apply for a grant last year. We reapplied again this year and were funded for another $30,000 for scholarships.
