Editor's Notes
 
Tom Bristow!  You rock! Thanks for great notes.
 
Next week we need more heros! The editor will be away. We need notes from both groups and someone to compile them. If you hate the Club Runner platform, you can just make a newsletter in Word and send it as an attachment! Leaving it to you.
Welcome New  and Visiting Rotarians
Welcome Kevin Healey - new member at the lunch meeting and Steve Caston - speaker at the cocktail meeting.

 

 

 

Birthdays and Anniversaries
Only the lunch meeting scribe captured these important dates.  Sorry to the later meeting the cocktails probably hinder the scribe's performance (at least that is my excuse!)
 
Happy birthday Chad!
 
Happy club anniversary:
 
Bill Shaw has been with us 22 years!
Alison Braun 3 years and 
Happy first anniversary to Karen Watson.
Birthdays and Anniversaries
 
 
Happy Birthday to Tammy (who strangely preferred a spa day with her Mama to our company)
 
Congratulations to Keith and Angela for 23 years of perfect, wedded bliss.
 
 
News of Rotarians not in Attendance
The club's thoughts are with Lynn Martin who has had hip surgery and will be taking a short leave from Rotary to recover.  We can't wait for her to return - maybe with a bionic hip?
Club Announcements
Sign up sheet for President's Night  was circulated. It's early this year! June 5 at Fern Resort.  Lunch meeting that day will NOT be cancelled. No Cocktail meeting.
 
Nancy W. has 2 women's Rotary golf shirts available. Size XL  She plans to order more shirts, please let her know if you plan to order one.
 
Lobsterfest is sold out - May 25 - but we still need volunteers!
 
John let us know something about Digital News and Village Media. Hand writing interpretation is a challenge. Perhaps John could re-announce next week? 
 
New Zealand Rotarians visiting in June as part of a Rotary exchange. Hosts are needed for 2 fun nights.
 
District Governor visit will be October 9!

Sergeant At Arms and Other Club Fines

Sergeant at Arms (Noon Group)

 

Sergeant Brian  paid his AWOL fine for last week

Whole table except guests were late

Tony T for being a Bruins fan.

Randy Klein for being really late

Birthday Table  

 

CLIFF HAD A HUGE ISSUE WITH A FINE THAT BRIAN LEVIED. HE BELIEVED IT INFRINGED ON THE 4 WAY TEST: IS IT BENEFCIAL FOR ALL! APPARENTLY IT GENERATED A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMALL CHANGE AND CLIFF HAD TO ROLL IT ALL! THIS MAY GO TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR A RULING

 

 
Fines from the Cocktail Group
 
Heather tracked down Deane to pay up for last week's faux pas of admitting, in public that he wears a Fanny Pack.  
 
Deane successfully defended his wearing of a fanny pack, because his, was not just any fanny pack, but a designer variety fanny pack.
Happy Bucks
Family Happiness (Who doesn't love family?)
Nancy and Anne had wonderful mother's day celebrations!
Sandra is ecstatic that her daughter will be visiting from Halifax for the long weekend. (In case her son reads this, she is also happy that her son and daughter in law from Toronto will be visiting for the long weekend!)
Alan was happy that their daughters visited and left again.
Andrew S. was happy to have revisited his old friends at the lunch meeting and to have had the good fortune of sitting next to a Bristow at both meetings in one day. (OK - we're Rotary and almost like family)
Kevin was happy (use your emotions Kevin...proud? excited? ROTFL?) as his son played his first T-Ball game.
 
On Moving and Travel
Deena sold her house and will be building in Washago!
Julie was happy that her house sold in just 2 weeks. She will be relocating to Alcona and sadly will only be an occasional visitor at our meetings. (Sigh)
Laura was happy to be back from her long and much envied European odyssey. 
Linda G is heading to Italy with her husband for a 2 week and much envied odyssey.
 
Random Happiness
 
 
Dave S. was thankful to John for something that had to do with volunteering and possibly baseball 
 
Chris was happy to have found her way after heading to Tudhope Park instead of Tudhope room for the Aquatheatre and for missing pitch in Days due to the date change.
 
Tony was sad about the voting procedure - read the insert that came in the mail - will post to the secret group!
Lynn was happy to have been named the woman of distinction and proud to have been nominated for woman of the year (we think you are very distinct Lyn and so we are proud of you too!)
 
Mike was happy to not be flying. He was also happy to have escaped a blaze at a hotel he was staying at. He found the scorched room and his sleuthing skills deducted that an unattended iron was the culprit.
 
Keep m laughing

A moth wanders into a psychiatrist's office.  He sits down and begins telling the psychiatrist about his struggles.  He hates his job, he and his wife are drifting apart and his kids seem to be on a path to self destruction.  He just doesn't know what to do.

The psychiatrists asks the moth "why did you come here?"

The moth replies: "well, the light was on."
