BRAGS
Doug Palmer (Rotarian of the Month): Keeping with the recent tradition, once again the "Rotarian of the Month" recipient was not in attendance to accept his award and free brag opportunity. He is a well deserving member and I'm sure that he'll make up for lost time next week. Congratulations Doug!
Teresa Reyburn & Mike Gibson: bragged $100 each for the recent success of the Special Olympics Dinner that was held on February 4. Extra big kudos go to Testa Catering for providing a great meal for everyone at the event.
Frank Ortiz: and his wife Scottie, had a great time at Kristine Mollenkopf's auction dinner that was bought at the 2016 Barn Party, so he bragged $100. Frank also had fun celebrating another birthday recently and that was worth another $100. Thanks Frank for that very generous donation!
Mark Bachman: Celebrated his birthday for the 49th time. $49
Rich Watson: was extremely happy to brag that his son is now an official Certified Public Accountant (having passed all the necessary tests). That brag was worth $50
Mike Gibson: took the opportunity to brag again. This time on Jim Peterson for helping to ease his wife's back pain and Mark Clarke for hosting a spectacular Super Bowl Party. $50
Mark Clarke: recently added a new Toyota Highlander to his home auto inventory. Mark thanked Carl Deriso for all his help and he and Linda are greatly enjoying their new "ride". $50
Jim Small: Jim and his wife recently celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary. That was worth $50
FINES
Kristine Mollenkopf: had a birthday and tried to ignore it. President Laurie had other plans. $30
Kevin Walthers: Kevin was recently spotted in Newport Beach at a local Rotary meeting. Way to go Kevin!.....but I guess it's a fine anyway?? $30
Jim Ventriglia: was recently photographed working hard (yeah right) at the latest "Stag Night" BBQ. $30
Andy Caldwell, Tim Staffel, Mike Moats and Mark Clarke: were fined during the course of the meeting for assorted reasons that I failed to write down. Anyway, each one was worth $30.
