Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:
• Cindy was happy to be attending her first meeting of this Rotary year.  Also, she and her family took a vacation to Virginia Beach, which included a visit to Emergency when Evan sliced his knee.  No baby news to report at this time though.
• Vicky had a happy buck for Bob’s (hopefully) last visit to the eye doctor, and for the Canal Corp tug traveling through Palmyra and Macedon on an inspection cruise.
• Bob Sloan reports the annual Youth Football and Cheer Charity Bowl was quite a success; Camp Onseyawa is the beneficiary of this fundraiser again this year.  Also, youth football season is in full swing and everyone is enjoying that.  Finally, a happy buck for Dianne helping out by offering to mow the lawn; only glitch was that she filled the tank with kerosene.  Oops.
• Gene is happy to say the Yankees beat the Red Sox, then the Blue Jays, and continue to do well.
• Kim offered a happy buck in honor of the Fair being over; everyone seemed to have a great time and we had a good year.  She also confessed that she had her auction item all ready and took it with her to Parkwood today, then realized the auction and Parkwood meeting are next Wednesday.
• Eric Chapman was sorry to have missed all the fun at the fair, but he and the family were on vacation.
• Bob Yost had a “haaa-aaa-aaa-ppy” buck for Kim’s third place finish in the Fair’s Celebrity Goat-Milking competition.
• Marie gave a buck for the 3rd 4th and 5th classes from Pal-Mac Intermediate School, who created informational signs for the Butterfly Trail in Macedon.  The signs provide facts about the various butterflies.  In addition, the students in these grades will maintain flower beds around the signs.
• Dianne and Rory took part in the Jolly Roger 5k during Pirates weekend.  Rory finished in 25:38 and Dianne is rightfully proud of him.  More happy bucks for a family trip to Niagara Falls followed by a Bills game, and for a visit to the Fair Booth by the Morgan twins of television’s “The Voice.”
• Anne happy-buck for a trip to Seneca Lake, and for the pending arrival of our new inbound exchange student, Szabi, from Hungary.
• Bob Yost pitched in another buck for his son Nate, who won his division and finished 6th overall in the 5k.
• Gary Hopkins was happy that his son’s team won the Bed Race, and had another dollar in honor of wife Terri’s pie taking 2 nd place at the Fair.
