BRAGS
Mike Gibson (Rotarian of the Month): Maximizing his free brags for the month by stating "I am now officially retired and yesterday was good" I'm sure that he will pick up his bragging speed in the coming weeks. Editors Note: Mike actually walked home from the S.M. Inn after the meeting this morning (what a stud).
Mark Jackson: Looking forward to his third trip to Guatemala. $50
Michelle Newman: was extremely happy to brag about her new grandchildren. As a grandparent myself, I know the feeling of excitement that comes when new additions arrive. Congratulations Michelle! $75
Tony Spinelli: Just got back from Maui. He and his wife had a fantastic time (what's not to like?). That was worth a $50 brag.
Frank Ortiz: He and Scottie also made a trip to Hawaii and Oahu. In addition to having a fantastic time, they also crashed a local Rotary Christmas party (or maybe they were actually invited?). Anyway, a great time was had $25.
Laurie Tamura: She and Jeff recently celebrated 40 years of marital bliss. I may be mistaken, but I think that I heard that bowling and installing a new fence was part of the honeymoon process. Happy Anniversary you two! $40
Mike Buhring: Not only did Wendy Foxen organize the Santa Claus Breakfast at SMCC (with Elf Jamie), but she and Kate Ferguson also corralled quite a few club members to go Christmas caroling to the Maloneys and the Mackeys on December 21. That was worth a $25 brag.
Wendy Foxen: was happy that everyone enjoyed themselves and the two families that were the main focus of the singing, also tremendously enjoyed it (apparently there's some hidden talent that we were unaware of???) $50
FINES:
No fines today. President Mike is going to have to play catch-up here in the next few weeks. Meanwhile our wallets are safe for at least another week.
