BRAGS
Wendy Foxen: had a recent birthday (3/19) and she celebrated at the one particular restaurant that makes her extremely happy, The Cracked Crab. Happy Birthday Wendy!! $55
Jim Peterson: Jim's wife Arlene had a recent birthday on 3/16. As a side note, Arlene's cousin is mayor of a town that we will keep secret at this point in time. Happy Birthday Arlene!! $25
Mark Clarke: he and Linda recently returned from a trip to Arizona with Bob and Marcy Freidlein. Not quite sure what all they exactly did but they did find time to shove money inside a statue of a pig (some kind of Arizona Rotary ritual I'm told). Anyway, he thought it was cool so that was worth $50.
Carol Bradfield: attended a few baseball games in Arizona (with the Rotary clan) and was especially happy that you could bring your pet dog along as well. $50
Mike Moats: Mike and Susan were the overall hosts of the Arizona trip. He had a great time watching a few baseball games while he visited with everyone. He did get a little wild during the trip as he and his wife attended a Broadway production of "Hair" (yes, that "Hair" circa 1969). Hmmm...let's just say that he won't attend a return engagement if there is one. $50
Randy Wise: his birthday was actually on today's meeting date (which doesn't happen that often). He probably should have taken the cheaper fine route instead, but stepped up to brag $62 (matching his IQ).
Ken Bradley: spent over 6 months studying for a four hour Project Manager test that he recently passed with flying colors. Great job Ken! Now hopefully you can relax and enjoy life a little more. $25
Terry Dworaczyk: bragged on David Leroy and Toyota of Santa Maria for taking such great care of Terry's Mom's car $50
Ryan Swack: recently returned from a week in Arizona with the family. They attended Spring Training (where the players played catch with his kids), a waterpark and a zoo. The entire family had a great time! $50
FINES
Abel Maldonado: After some investigative work by Mr. Jackson, apparently he seems to think that there's a remarkable resemblance between Abel and the "most interesting man in the world" (see below). Before this went on too long, Mr. Maldonado offered up $100 to close the subject. "Stay thirsty my friend".
Mark Bachman: Apparently stole Mark Jackson's name tag (or vice versa). Anyway, badges were exchanged and no financial damage was apparently levied. $0
Mike Gibson: Sent a photo to President Jackson showing some friends standing next to a "No Standing" sign. Apparently the hilarity was lost on Mark as he promptly gave Mike a $50 fine (Note: he technically called it a brag, but I'm not getting it??)
