Jerry Schmidt (Rotarian of the Month): Jerry had quite a few things to brag about and be thankful for. He bought a new trailer at "Trailer Plus" (official plug).

Most importantly, he bragged on his good friend Dan Blough for referring a great doctor to help him out with some family medical issues.

Chris Hastert: Bragged on his son competing in a Robotics contest through his school club. He was also proud to announce that the recent Santa Maria Air Show won quite a few awards in Las Vegas and he is now looking forward to next year which will be even better. Chris also showed the members a new promotional video advertising next years dates. $100

Martin Testa: Recently returned from a trip to Las Vegas where he and Debi attended a World Class Rodeo event. They had a great time and that was worth $25.

Lee Carroll: Ordered pizzas for church event volunteers on Saturday. He got a good deal from Randy at "Straw Hat Pizza" (another official plug). $25

Shannon Seifert: She bragged on Dan Blough (something about a "Christmas Carol") and Kate Ferguson for organizing the Christmas party? *I'm sorry Shannon if I didn't write this down correctly, but I did try hard to keep up with you

Kate Ferguson: Since she couldn't be at the party, she appreciated all the photos that were sent to her by various members. She also was presented a Bacon Bowl white elephant mystery gift that was left over from the party. $25

Jim Peterson: Bragged on Mike and Michelle Buhring for hosting a dinner at their house involving past coaches that once worked together. $50
