Pres. Joel opened the meeting at 12:37 PM with the usual guest introductions.
FINES:
Pres. Joel assessed Martha Murphy a $15 spin-the-wheel fine for her slight mistake in introducing the Assistant District Gov. $20 for advertising. Because there was time at the end of the meeting, Pres. Joel called upon past president Mark Olson to serve as fine-master. He fined Jack Hardy $5 and and then fined Scott Astrosky $10 for interruptions and not introducing the guest at his table. Greg Baker was fined $40 for his six year wedding anniversary with Stacy. Tommy Thompson was fined $22 for his 22 years with the club. Steve and Linda’s wedding anniversary was recognized with a $38 fine. Chuck Anders, Shannon Bowdey, Sharon Ellis, and Martha Murphy were fined $10 for failing to answer Mark’s questions. Mike Frederick was fined $10 for a smart phone infraction.
announcements:
Steve Curry gave an update on the golf tournament in which 35 teams are committed, which translates to 140 golfers. Jeff King reported that we have had great success in signing up golf tournament tee sponsors if you’re not playing golf. Paul Felice reported that he will need approximately 150 items to fill the goodie bags. See John Murphy to sign up for a $50 golf banquet ticket. Ashlea Boyer reported on the raffle prizes that been turned in, but that we still need more. Pres. Joel stated that Frank Montesinos submitted the architectural drawings for the parklet to Pismo Beach and we expect construction to begin in May. He also announced that Minor’s hardware gave a generous donation for materials for the parklet. Martha Murphy stated that she got another batch of Four Way Test essays so that in addition to tonight’s 6-9:30 p.m. judging they’ll be another one tomorrow night. She circulated another volunteer sign-up sheet for tomorrow. A SLO Monday Rotary club representative announced that she has tickets for the May 14 Spaghetti Western dinner as one of their major fundraisers. Pres. Joel reported that we have signed a 2 month agreement with McClintock’s restaurant starting this May to serve as our interim meeting place. He also reported that there will be a Rotary board meeting this Thursday night at the Arroyo Grande hospital. Mike Felice took the time for his craft talk to have people to give testimonials of their experience at Minor’s Hardware in exchange for a gift. The next Rotary social will be held at the Oyster Loft in Pismo Beach next Wednesday night as reported by Mary Ann Reese. ¶
PROGRAM: Anya Stanley “Revised Community Giving Program”
Anya began stating the members of her committee include Martha and John Murphy, Chuck Anders, and Scott Astrosky. We now have an anonymous on-line method of voting for the 18 charities turned in by their sponsors. The method, designed by Chuck Anders, works well with smart phones. If you find any glitches using the on-line method, call Chuck. Each Rotary member will be given $326 to allocate to his or her favorite charities. Anya stressed that we use an adding machine after we have allocated this money to make sure that the total adds up to $326 of each member . The last day for voting is April 30. If you do not want to use the on-line voting you simply fill out a ballot filling in the amounts for each of the charities, again making sure the total per member is $326. The total amount of money going to charities this year will be $15,000 that was raised during last year’s Summer Sizzle
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY BY DICK DANNELLS:
“We live in the greatest country on earth so we should be very thankful.”
