Happy Bucks:
Bob Couch - Kicked something during pickle ball and tore his tibialus tendon, going to get an MRI and will figure it out.
Mike Gula - Great Zoom call by President Elect Gerry and Judy Goodnow to learn about the club history, Mike felt he learn a lot, had some trivia to prove he did not fall asleep.
Dean Cascadden - $20 of beatnik poetry, identifies as a hippy, spending a lot of time on mountains, seems to be working a little bit. Some health issues at home and crying a lot. Loving his music and having a lot of fun. Mentoring Superintendents and having a lot of fun. Cheesy joke about where the pot of gold is.
Chris Parkinson - Amigos is done and back home, trip and worked out great. Gathering all the information for the end of the year report. Evaluating next year’s plan.
Gerry Carrier - Bow Rotary history session, well attended session and went well. Working on committee assignments, please provide the feedback.
Bob/Judy - will coordinate to make sure the committee descriptions on club runner match the information being sent by Judy and vice versa
Bill Ames - heard a bluebird song which means spring is coming. Envelope on every table has information about the bird weekend and the tally sheet is in there. Tip is to write on a blank sheet and then transfer info.
Dave Gazaway - saw a double rainbow on the way to Rotary this morning.
Eric Anderson - has been feeding birds for 40 years. Never seen a blue bird. About three weeks ago he was inundated with blue birds and now he will count them.
