Joining us from other area Rotary clubs were Larry Johanson from Downtown Rotary, Phil Schrier from Northwest, Jill Woodward from Omaha Southwest, Aaron Marters from Suburban and Lowell Thrasher from Millard Rotary.
Patti Bannon joined us again as a guest of Jill Slupe. Matt introduced Allison Rockey, an associate attorney at his law office of Copple, Rockey, McKeever and Schlecht. Matt duly fined himself for mentioning the name of his business. Red Badge Members were introduced. The group recognized Rotarians with January birthdays and John Philo led us in singing the Happy Birthday song. Jill Slupe, Dan Ferris and Nuzhat Mahmood all had good news to share.
Matt reminded the club about the fine policy that all Rotarians are subject to being fined with the only exception being Hal Daub. Russ Iwan got Matt fined for a Bitcoin article. Matt fined Ron Niederhaus for his Facebook posts about enjoying a Hawaii luau on a day the rest of us in Nebraska endured temperatures of 35 degrees below zero. He was also penalized fifteen yards for taunting. Club members were not fined for failing to wear their Rotary pins but watch out next week!
Matt told the joke about how, because of last week's game against the New Orleans Saints, a Minnesota Vikings fan found out he was fresh out of miracles.
