BRAGS
 
Martin Testa: Martin has been named the January "Rotarian of the Month". Martin was not in attendance today, but Prez Shannon bragged on a new grand baby on his behalf.
 
Frank Ortiz: bragged $100 on his wife's ride on the Rotary International float in the Rose Parade (see last week's bulletin). It was a fantastic experience and Scottie enjoyed it very much.
 
Dan Blough: Dan bragged on the Cioppino Dinner that he and Peggy put on recently. He also bragged on Mike Gibson finally beating him (twice in fact) in Words With Friends. That was worth....$10.00.
 
Mike Gibson: bragged on attending the Cioppino Dinner and of course the sweet taste of victory in beating Dan....$20.00
 
Tim Seifert: Tim and his family recently flung themselves out of a plane and experienced parachuting for the very first time. It was was an exhilarating experience and he recommends it to everyone to at least try it once. $50.00
 
Jean-luc Garon: Jean-luc bragged on his son's 15th birthday and attending the Bloughs dinner. $50.00
 
Peter Sterling: Peter is going to be a Grandpa!! His daughter Rachel recently announced that she was pregnant with the Sterling's first grand child...$25. Mark Jackson took the opportunity to announce that his daughter Rachel is in fact, not pregnant...$10. Jumping on the bandwagon, Shannon Seifert's daughter Rachel is also not pregnant....$10.
 
Ted Ortega: Ted's wife Beth, recently had a birthday that involved golf and other activities in Pebble Beach. It must have been a great time because that was worth $100.00.

Eddie Stanfield: Recently spent his birthday in Zion National Park. That experience was so good, it made him feel half his age. $31.00
 
Mike Gibson (yes,again!): Mike previously forgot to mention Jimmy V's recent dinner, his new office location and a birthday, so he added $30.00 to his earlier brag.
 
Carol Bradfield: Also had a three part brag: 1. Cioppino Dinner  2. Visit to McCall, Idaho (visited with the Friedleins) 3. Daughter's promotion at Cal Poly.......$50.00.

PROGRAM
 
 
This week's program was presented by fellow Rotary members Frank Ortiz and Chris Hastert. The subject was Rotary social media and how the members can be more involved. The subject matter ranged from the club's website, Facebook and navigating Club Runner. Step by step examples were shown on a screen for all to see. The duo then urged everyone to log in and update their personal profiles so that everything is accurate and the appropriate picture is displayed. President Shannon also asked all members to sign up and explore the Rotary International website. As an incentive to join, she also approved a drawing for a Hitching Post gift certificate for all members that complete the sign-up process in the near future.
