BRAGS
Martin Testa (Rotarian of the Month): As Martin's last free brag of the month, he made mention of the great dinner that was sold at the last Rotary auction. Everything went according to plan and everyone who attended had fun. Martin also bragged on his recent trip to Hitching Post.
Carl DeRiso: Carl also bragged on the Hitching Post. He recently booked a large company dinner party and everything went smoothly. That was worth $50.

Michelle Jensen: Michelle recently celebrated a birthday with her twin brother. $25
Frank Ortiz: bragged on a recent dinner he attended with a few other Rotarians. $25

Carol Bradfield: Carol and Clay were also attendees at the Testa dinner. $25
Teresa Reyburn: bragged on Mike Gibson for "saving the day" and picking her up for our Rotary meeting after discovering that she had a flat tire. Way to go Mike!
