BRAGS:
Frank Ortiz (Weekly Rotarian of the Decade): bragged on the Rotary incoming President retreat that occurred at the SM Radisson hotel. In particular, all the members that participated in decorating for the event. Everything looked great and a good time was had by all.
Terri Stricklin: recently returned from a trip to Texas where she attended her nephew's wedding and evidently played a lot of poker (which she is very good at). She was also amazed at the price of gas as compared to good old California ($1.94). $50
Jim Ventriglia: went to Tucson last weekend for Homecoming festivities. He was having a good time until Mark Clarke's Oregon Beavers took his team to the woodshed and won 56-31 (that's just not right). Anyway, he still mustered up a $50 brag
Mark Clarke: of course Mark was glad to jump up and brag about how awesome his Alma Mater is doing right now (4 wins and counting). $25
Wendy Foxen: returned from a two week vacation at a "south of the border" 5 star resort (Playa Del Something?). They had a great time and husband Jim turned 59 while over there. So a $59 brag seemed to be an appropriate amount. Welcome back Wendy!
Gary Nemetz: This is hard to believe, but Gary and his wife celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary (crazy!!). His son also turned 40. Having said all that, he found it necessary to brag $49 on his favorite NFL team that is still undefeated (hear that Pat??)
Kevin Walthers: bragged $100 on Frank & Scottie for their philanthropic award and $10 on he and Shannon's 10th anniversary (wow,
don't let Shannon see this Kevin)
Tanya Astrosky: was very impressed with the decorating crew at the Radisson. She was happy to be a part of it. $25
Ryan Swack: Thanked everyone that helped make the PE event a huge success. He also thanked Jim Peterson for everything that he did for his wife??? Strictly professional I'm guessing. $30
FINES:
Jason Francia: for dropping the ball on updating our Club Runner web page. $30
Leonard Champion: for apparently not being able to read instructions on a simple e-mail from Shannon Walthers $30
Mike Gibson: for not having his daughter available for an event?? $30
Ken Bradley, Andy Caldwell, Mike Cardona, Lee Carroll, Wendy Foxen, Angelica Gumabon and Abel Maldonado for.......your guess is as good as mine $30 per person
