Program for June 10, 2014– Charitable Giving Distributions

By Dick Dannells

Promptly at 12:30 PM, Pres. Linda Osty opened the next-to-last meeting of her year and immediately began collecting some catch-up fines.

FINES:

She first began by fining John Murphy $25 for a poor introduction and Martha Murphy $10 for delivering to her a Historical Society brochure.  She then turned to fine-master Jack Hardy who really began to rake the fines into the treasury. Cliff Nagler got a picture in the San Luis Obispo Tribune and for this he was fined $20. He then fined the following Rotarians $120, $100, $150, $150, $25, $43 and $25 respectively: John Bernard, Charla Anderson, Deenie Dotson, Paul Holden, Mark Olson, Cheryl Vines, and Joel Conn. The respective birthdays of Mike Frederick and Montisa Phelan-Lopez resulted in fines of $10 and $100.  Montisa was fined an additional $100 for her anniversary and the singing of the happy anniversary song. Steve Curry was not fined for his 68th birthday in two days, because he is the fine-free badge. Dick Dannells was fined $3 for his first wedding anniversary with Rae Alee Breen. Eddie Aurand's club anniversary cost her $15. Frank Montesinos was fined $85 for not knowing his club anniversary. Finally, Jack Hardy was fined $25 by Pres. Linda for not bringing her a gift from his recent trip.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Pres. Linda Osty announced that Saturday, June 26 will be the commemoration of Arnie Dowdy's bench at the 10th St. Grover Beach Park.
