Birthdays, Anniversaries:
Eric and Edie Chapman anniversary is June 12.
Today was Kim Clement’s birthday.
Autumn Sloan’s birthday is June 20.

Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:
• Eric and Edie travelled to Arizona to help Tory move, and it’s true what they say.  It is a dry heat, kind of like an oven.  They later took Kari to Boston, then went on to Maine.  While there, they stayed at the place where they took their honeymoon.
• Dick offered happy bucks for all the cards and food he received from friends.  He also got out to breakfast this morning with Bob Yost, Jim Bush, and Gary Haigh, which was nice.
• Friends of Bob Sloan are moving to a house with less yard, which means they no longer have need of their 4-wheeler.  Bob’s not sure who’s happier, him or Rory.
• Jim Bush had a sad buck for his wife’s cottage being sold, but a happy buck for Dick joining them for breakfast at the “Table of the Ancients.”
• Vicky pitched in a dollar for all the boats stopping at the port of Palmyra.  They are coming from near and far.
• Margaret tells us they closed on the sale of the Cowlick yesterday.
• Bob Yost says he isn’t ancient quite yet, but was happy to have Dick there for breakfast this morning.
• Joan’s youngest son Dennis just turned 50.  Her granddaughter is graduating from Pal-Mac, and her grandson is graduating from Canandaigua.
• Bill had a happy/sad buck for the end of the President Pam era.
• Dianne offered a buck (and managed not to cry) for the last day of Rotary Reads for this school year.
• Anne and Dave attended the Pal-Mac Athletic Awards ceremony, where their son Steven was awarded Male Athlete of the Year.
• Cindy was happy to be with us today, and was also happy to have spent the morning with Cortney and Addison.  She tells us Cortney is now working full-time in food service at Clifton Springs Hospital.

Notes and Updates for the Club:
- The annual Rotary Day at the Red Wings is scheduled for August 16.  Details are available on the District website (click here).  Deadline to order tickets is August 7.
- Hill Cumorah food tent shifts have been assigned.  Kim has the list, and it will be uploaded to the club’s website soon™.  As of today’s meeting, they still need chicken packers for both Saturdays.  Contact Kim if you can help or have someone you can volunteer.

   Kim and Mark told us about their visit to Australia with the District Friendship Exchange.  They also attended the International Convention in Sydney.  They were one of ten couples who took part in the exchange, and they all had a fantastic time.  Scratch one more off the bucket list for them.  They brought pictures with them today, in the form of a slideshow, and took us through their travelogue.  It was obvious they enjoyed themselves and made new life-long friends. 

                  Szabi took a moment to tell us about his week.

Bob Daly was the winner of this week’s 50/50 drawing.

Join us at the Changeover Picnic 5:30pm next Wednesday, June 25 at Gravino Park in Macedon.

Next regular lunch meeting - Wednesday, July 9 at the American Legion in Palmyra.
