BRAGS
Andy Caldwell (Rotarian of the Month): Well, this was Andy's last chance to brag for free and once again he wasn't here to take advantage of that perk (I think we honored him on his vacation month??)
Rob Buchanan: is back!! After a short membership hiatus, Rob has rejoined the club roster. The first thing he wanted to do was brag about his new twin grand babies. They are doing very well and he is an extremely proud grandpa. Rob bragged a very generous $200
Craig Bernard: bragged on the great job that Teresa Reyburn is doing as publicity chair. He noted that we are seeing more newspaper coverage than ever before. $25
Shannon Seifert: was happy to brag about something to do with Teresa Reyburn (but I can't read my own writing
)....but I'm sure that it was really good because she bragged $50. **Wait a minute, I remembered...Teresa generously gifted a new bike to her "Kid's Night Out" child after the event was over. Way to go Teresa!!
Mark Clarke: went on yet another "retired guy" trip. This time he and Linda traveled through Zion Natl Park, Boise (Freidlein visit) and Bend Oregon (football game). They had a great time but his team lost the game, so we only get $24
Kristine Mollenkopf: also traveled to Boise, but her team won!!......$38
Mike Moats: spent a week in Maui. He and his wife had a great time but was frustrated that all the newspapers and periodicals seem to be a day late with the news. Hmmm....I think he has a smart phone doesn't he?, oh well. The great time for them was worth $100
Chris Hastert: was glad that Lee reminded him that he was today's speaker. He also was happy that his "Kids Night Out" child won a bike and that Mark Bachman helped out one of his employees with a car. $50
Peter Sterling: is very happy that his bank is finally going to start tenant improvements on a new Santa Maria location (he may need to check with Cardona on that one).
Frank Ortiz: is still very proud of his San Francisco Giants, even though they tend to let him down (lost 5 of 7 recently). He is a true fan $25
Jim Peterson & James Thomas: had to wave their Dodger blue after Frank's Giant tribute. The Dodgers are still the main front runner at this point. The brag was $12.50 each for a total of $25.00.
FINES
Mike Gibson and Dan Blough: for not providing the President with any pictures from the Celebrity Waiters Night. $30 each
Tony Spinelli: apparently he didn't read the latest Rotarian magazine (the answer was Henry Winkler, thanks to Lee Carroll) $30
Lee Carroll: for blurting out the answer and criticizing the President's lack of fines..(lesson learned: "Keep your mouth shut").....$30
