Mark Jackson (Rotarian of the Month):is heading to Aspen, Colorado for some type of cooking competition (I think that's what he said...) and to maximize his freebie brags for the month, Deb is having a birthday in mid October, his b-day is in February and by the way, Happy St. Patricks Day and Easter!!!
Martin Testa: recently celebrated his 44th wedding anniversary married to his lovely bride, Debi. Congratulations to you both..$44
Jim Peterson: is having a birthday on Saturday (9/1)..$10. He also bragged $35 on something else that I didn't quite catch. Sorry Jim, but happy birthday to you!!
Jimmy Ventriglia: went to Mexico for a great vacation. Unfortunately for him, he now has to get back to work. Sorry Jim :( That was worth $50.
Jack Gresser: traveled to Hawaii and almost came "face to face" with a bonifide hurricane. Fortunately for Jack and Yvonne, that didn't happen. He was very happy to report that all is well. $30
Dale Johnson: was glad to be back from his trip to Tennessee. They enjoyed seeing family and the grandkids, but hopefully he won't see another rental car for a very long time (a very expensive story). $20
Chris Hastert: either Chris speaks very fast or I listen extremely slow. Needless to say, all I know is that it involved Jim Small and Glen Morris and he seemed to be very happy about it??? $40
Pat McDermott: celebrated a birthday on the 29th and ate at the "Happiest place on Earth", The Hitching Post in Casmalia. He also was very proud of his daughter Melissa who was named on the "Top 40 under 40" list in the Central Coast Business Times. That all was worth a whopping $100
Mike Buhring: made mention of the Hitching Post having a sponsor sign on the Babe Ruth field. Very cool to support a great community organization.
Where's the flag? President Mike showed a picture of an American flag at the beginning of the meeting and no one could tell him the correct location. As a result, the following members were fined $30 apiece.
