On Wednesday, the Club meeting was attended by 15 Rotarians and 2 guests. Tony Scanlon was the big winner with $7 from the 50/50 Pot. And double digit Happy Bucks at $15.
Duane Greenfield was escorted by Chad Heberly this morning. Duane was very grateful for the assistance on his move a couple weeks ago. After much discussion, the most recent Club moving team was determined to have successfully moved Duane nearly 5 seconds quicker than the previous team. Sorry Jay :(
Fabian Crespin, with Farmers Insurance and a guest of Luke Kita, was welcomed this morning by the group. Josh Stuart, was approved as a new member at the meeting... So technically we started with 15 Rotarians/2 guests, and concluded the meeting with 16 Rotarians/1 Guest.
