Team Numero Uno was our host for the day.

 

The Team Points totals are on the webpage in the download section.  Amazing changes in standings!  No crying allowed said the Queen.

 

Les Melburg passed the Marge doll along, but not until a video was presented (reminiscent of Mr. Bill) of a day in the life of Les and Marge.  That poor Marge saw some difficult times with Mr. Melburg.  The damaged and injured Marge doll was passed to the Top Ducks and a new Marge doll was passed to the Wheel Cogs.  Let's hope things go better now.

Jim Westerberg was inducted into the club.  He is now a member of the Pole Dancers (should he tell people?) and was sponsored by ME!  Welcome to RER Jim.

 

The Blood Drive is June 9th.  Let's beat our record of 19 units.  Sign up with Frank.

 

If you can help with EnterpriseHigh School's Sober Grad, give Evan Delgado a call.

 

Our CampRoyal delegates were introduced.  Brooke Harrison and Daniel ?????  Both are very active in school. Brooke is a cheerleader, in Key Club and on the Student Council.  Daniel is President of Interact, a member CSF and Student Council and in sports.

 

Keith Ritter confirmed the date of the Queen's dethroning (Demotion) is Saturday, June 26th at the Odd Fellows Hall in Palo Cedro/Millville.  The enthusiasm on the committee is great!  It's destined to be a super event.

 

The 50/50 was AGAIN spun by Bill Evanhoe, who AGAIN didn't win.  The pot grows.

 

The program was the presentation of seven, $1,700 scholarships to graduating seniors from EHS.  Thanks you to the committee who handles the money, the committee who chooses the winner, to Monica Cabrall at EHS for all her help and to the club for all their support.  Since the scholarship program's inception the club has awarded $150,000 to outstanding kids.  Following is a list of the recipients and their plans:

 

CONNOR BEEBOUT (Redding East Rotary Scholarship) - Connor will attend UC Davis majoring in pre-med. 

 

ADAM CARLSON (Jackie Brooks Humanitarian) - Adam will attend UC Berkeley majoring in Psychology and plans to focus on human rights.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THESE OUTSTANDING YOUNG PEOPLE.

 

On to SPEED FINING - Those of you who missed this last week, this is a Queen Bev version of Speed Dating, only for fining members.  Here's this weeks list:

 

Myron Tisdel was fined $20.90 (he added $50 for his Paul Harris) for his photo in the Record Searchlight.

 

Steve Hagenbaugh was fined $61.29 for his granddaughter graduating from TracyHigh School as valedictorian.

 

Glenn Rank was fined some amount that the editor and Tom Price both missed.  He bragged that he fairly confident that his third grade daughter is going to pass.

 

Bill Hazeleur was fined $15.08 for "rescuing" Bev's bell.  It was upped to $50.

 

Jim Murphy was fined $100 for his 30th anniversary and his daughter in college.

 

Jerry Peters was fined $172.37 for his niece graduating from SacState and his granddaughter graduating from 8th grade.  He is also retired in case you missed that and no one threw him a party so his sons took him golfing.  No not local, to Cypress and PebbleBeach.  I'm guessing those are some pretty cool spots.

 

Tom Price paid $139.73 Cabo and some other stuff!

 

The drawing was won by Bob Meissner.
