BRAGS
 
 
Ryan Swack (Rotarian of the Month): and also future club President (2020 -21), bragged on the entire club for the great job that was done with our annual Barn Party Luau this past Saturday (5/11). Everything seemed to go very smoothly and he was proud of all of us.
 
Carol Bradfield: bragged on her son who was recently promoted to a Major. She and Clay were there to witness the ceremony. She also bragged on her recent birthday and her upcoming retirement date. As a whole, she gladly pledged $100 towards our bragging fund.
 
Jean-luc Garon: had a double nickel birthday recently. 55 is his age and also his brag amount :)
 
Terri Stricklin: recently returned from a cruise where unfortunately she got very sick but was extremely impressed with the medical facilities on the ship. $100
 
Wendy Foxen: celebrated her 34th wedding anniversary with all of us at the Luau (5/11).  $34
 
Laurie Tamura: bragged on her recent trip to Branson, Missouri where she and her husband took in the sights and played a few rounds of golf while she was there. $50
 
Kate Ferguson: was very proud of here two "wenches" (Michelle & Julie) as they did an outstanding job working the treasure chest at the Luau. $50

Jason Francia: bragged on the membership for providing food to he and his wife after they returned from the hospital when the baby was born. He also thanked everyone for the generous donation to his son's college fund. The baby is now 26 days old, so he bragged $26 (using that formula, can't wait for his one year birthdaylaugh).
 
Rich Watson: Rich's dad and brother (Bakersfield Rotarians) attended our Luau and were thoroughly impressed with the entire event. Oh, and Rich also bought a trip to France at the auction (maybe he can talk Jean-luc into joining them as a guide?) $50
 
Mark Jackson: was very impressed with how the club stepped up with such a short decorating window to work with. It made him very proud to be a Breakfast Rotarian. $60
 
Tim Seifert: bragged on all the food makers during the Luau. Everything went absolutely great! $50
 
Dale Johnson: Thanked Tim Seifert for the loan of his trailer. He also had a recent birthday and his son is currently performing folk music with his girlfriend in Germany (I think that's what I heard). In reference to his birthday, he bragged $66.
 
Mike Gibson: was also extremely impressed with the club and all the hard work that everyone put in. He also took a moment to tell a cute story that involved the family, Mothers Day, dogs, 911 (the phone #) and a very funny ending. (let's just say...you had to be therewink) $27
