Craig Bernard: bragged $25 on Chuck Halsell and the Halsell family for doing a great job with their Memory Care Facility. Craig's Mom is now a new resident there.

 

Laurie Tamura bragged $25 on her friend Irene for sprucing up our tattered and torn Rotary banners. They are currently being re-stitched and will return to the meeting sometime in the near future.

 

Andy Caldwell: bragged $100 on Testa Catering and the very successful COLAB dinner that occured last Saturday eveninng. NOTE: Andy failed to mention the Chumash Casino in his brag, so he was also fined $50. Ted Ortega brought that piece of info to the group's attention but he was (fined/brag?) $25 for not going to the event. It was very complicated exchange, but the important part was that the club received $175 out of it

 

Kerin Mase: The annual Day of Hope cancer fundraiser was very successful this year. The campaign raised over $200,000 and sold over 12,000 newspapers. $25

 

Kevin Walthers: gave Frank Ortiz a big "shout out" for doing an outstanding job at AHC (he's retiring now). He went on to say that the college now has an overall better public safety program thanks to Mr. Ortiz. In addition to that piece of news Kevin wanted all of us to know that......he has Mars rocks displayed at his campus!! Very cool!!!!  $50

 

Jerry Schmidt, Shannon & Tim Seifert: bragged $25 apiece towards Dan & Peggy Blough's recent dinner that they hosted. Creme Brulee was the key word in this brag.

 

 

First, I would like to say, when Shannon gets going it's extremely hard to keep up with her (in fact I gave up)

 

Lucky for me, based on Ken Bradley's tally sheet (Thanks Ken), there were a total of 20 members that were fined ($25 or $30) for various reasons (all legitimate, I'm sure).

 

 

 

 

 

This week, the club was treated to some fantastic dance routines performed by current dance students at AHC. The dances ranged from hip-hop, folkorico, top hat & tails to modern jazz. The students are currently performing a four day Cinco De Mayo event that focuses on the Folklorico aspect of the dance spectrum. Tickets can be purchased at the AHC box office if you wish to attend.
