BRAGS:
Ted Ortega: recently returned from a trip to the Staples center and was a "first hand" witness to the many Kobe Bryant tributes that were occurring around that location. Ted was so moved that he bragged $100.
Michelle Newman & Jerry Walsh are the new Monthly (or is that Weekly?) Rotarians of the Decade. Michelle was absent and Jerry was just glad to be there.
Mike Buhring: Mike and Michelle recently celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary. $33
Jason Francia: He and his wife just had their 3rd wedding anniversary. $30 (Note: he tried to get Buhring to go $10 per year, but that idea didn't get too far) 
Shannon Seifert: It's always hard for the editor to follow Shannon's thought process, as her brain moves so quickly. This is what I think I heard: $3.00 (Mike B's pre-nuptial shout out), $19.99 for Ted's clipboard purchase and $2.00 for McDermott's "loser" Patriots dress shirt. Rounding off to a $25 total (not $24 Shannon).
Kate Ferguson: bragged on her landscape helping buddies Michelle Newman and Jim & Roxanne Ventriglia (although, judging by the picture, it looks like Jim just kept the lawn chair warm). $30
Tim Seifert: designated $100 to the compassion fund in honor of Trini Martinez who recently passed away.
FINES:
Jimmy Ventriglia: $30 for wearing flip flops with a "farmers tan" where his socks should have been.
Shannon Seifert: bought a new (or maybe it was used?) Honda. Because of that, Shannon, David Leroy and Mark Bachman were all fined $30 each. Not quite sure of the logic behind it, but I guess he's got to catch up somehow.
Dan Blough: Something to do with cannabis legalities in a newspaper photo? $30
Andy Caldwell: I guess the $30 fine was for not being here this morning although with all of his campaign commercials airing, it seems like he's living in all of our homes.
Rich Watson: For advertising the new San Joaquin Valley College (formerly Santa Barbara Business College). When Kevin's around, that's a no-no. :) $30
Randy Wise: Was fined the big $30 for having the audacity of misplacing his cell phone at a Rotary meeting (that will always cost you no matter what)
