ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
1) Laurie Tamura - urged all club members to help with the fundraising efforts that our fellow Kern County Rotarians are putting together for the Erskine Fire near Lake Isabella. A clipboard will be passed around next week to sign up. Contact Laurie or Frank Ortiz for more information.
 
2) Mike Gibson - was not in attendance this week, but if he was, I'm sure that he would tell everyone about the upcoming Kid's Night Out event being held on July 21 at the Guadalupe Boys & Girls Club. To help volunteer as an adult mentor for the evening, contact Mike for more details or to sign up.
 
3) Frank Ortiz - asked Jean-luc Garon to join him at the podium to present him with his fourth Paul Harris Fellow award. Carl Deriso also joined them up front to receive his 2nd Paul Harris pin. Way to go guys!
 
 
4) Jason Stillwell - moved from red badge holder to an official blue badge status. Jason survived a Rotary test by Frank Ortiz and passed by the skin of his teeth (although Mike Cardona aided and abetted). Anyway, congratulations Jason it's great to have you as a full fledged member now.
 
5) Lee Carroll - is looking for volunteers for the next Homeless Shelter pizza feed being held on July 28 (6:30 PM to 7:15 PM). Let him know if you can be of service.
 
 
6) Laurie Tamura - announced that our club was the recipient of many awards at the recent Rotary District Awards Ceremony in Moorpark. In particular, the club was named Best Medium Club for Community Service and our very own Scottie Ortiz received a prestigious support award that only a select few have previously been given. Thanks also goes to President Shannon for doing a great job leading the club this past year.
 
BRAGS
 
 
1) Shannon Seifert - was not able to attend the Rotary District Awards last weekend but was extremely proud of everyone that made it to the event and accepted the awards in her absence. That was worth $50
 
2) Tony Spinelli - recently returned from a trip to Maui. He and the family went there to help celebrate his 65th (milestone) birthday. Happy Birthday Tony!!   $65
 
3) Jim Small - Jim's business finally navigated all the red tape to officially be registered, licensed and certified in the State of California. Congratulations!  $50
 
4) Michelle Jensen - bragged on Frank Ortiz, Valerie Moya, Teresa Reyburn and Terry Dworaczyk for helping with the Jr. High School interviews that took place last month. She also bought a new Toyota truck for her dog?? I guess this is where the phrase "lucky dog" comes into play. $50
 
5) Jimmy Ventriglia - the self proclaimed "Best President" that this club has ever had (Hmmm...) recently got back from a trip to Mexico. While there, he and Roxanne spotted fellow club members Kevyn & Shannon Walthers and they had a small Rotating dinner together. Everyone had a great time. $45
 
6) Rich Watson - has been gone for at least 3 weeks. A lot has happened in his life which includes Son's graduation, Daughter's graduation, Cruise to Alaska and numerous radio station purchases.transitions. All that was worth $100
 
7) Jean-luc Garon - just returned from a trip to the south of France with his family. His strange accent has now become even stranger (if that's possible). Oh well, we still have Mike Gibson to translate for us :)  He bragged $15 because his discretionary funds been reduced quite a bit. Welcome back!
 
8) Frank Ortiz - was very anxious to brag about his wife Scottie Ortiz, who won that great award down in Moorpark last weekend. This was a very prestigious worldwide award that has only been given out 175 times. In our opinion, it couldn't have gone to better person. We are all very proud of you Scottie! Thank you Frank for the $50 brag.
 
9) Mark Jackson - bragged on Dan Blough for doing such a great job this past year as the official club photographer. He not only takes the majority of pictures for the Bull A Ton, but he also takes photos at almost every event that the club is associated with. Mark regrettably let that credit go by at the step down dinner and fined himself $5.00.
PROGRAM
 
 
Past Presidents Day
 
This week, the clubs past presidents took to the stage to perform a little quiz show called  "Two truths and a Lie". Each ex president pulled out a small sheet of paper that had three interesting facts about each president at the table. The only problem is one of the "facts" was a lie. They would then ask a random member if they knew which one was a lie. If they didn't know, then he/she would be assessed a monetary fine of some sort. Mark Jackson served as game show host and everyone had a great time.
 
NEXT WEEK: New President Laurie Tamura takes over with her very first meeting
50/50 Winners
 
Mark Bachman & Lee Carroll
