Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:
• Cortney was scheduled for another attempt at an ultrasound today; she hopes the baby cooperates and she can find out its gender.  Also, she is finally all moved-in at her new place, with the “help” of Terry’s friends.
• Mark offered a happy buck in thanks to Bob Yost, Bob Sloan, and Gary Hopkins, who helped moved stuff back in to the fair booth on Sunday.  The plan is to get the refrigerators and freezers cleaned today, and run the gas lines this weekend.
• Bob Yost happy-bucked for fun at the Camp Onseyawa golf tournament.
• Bob Sloan offered a buck, “for what Bob said.”
• Leslie tells us that Jules is back to work at Walt Disney World and that the twins were awarded scholarships.

Notes and Updates for the Club:
- Reminder: Gus Macker Tournament June 14-16 at the Palmyra Community Center.  Shifts have been filled, but the more the merrier – feel free to contact Kim if you’d still like to help out.
- The club change-over picnic is Wednesday, June 26 at Gravino Park in Macedon.  A sign-up sheet is being passed and will be available at the next couple of meetings.  This is always a fun event; and as a bonus, Mila will be presenting her speech from the District Conference.  It has been suggested that those who purchased Poland items at last week’s assembly may want to wear those items to the picnic.
- The district change-over dinner takes place 5:30pm Monday, July 1 at Ventosa Vineyards in Geneva.  The cost for dinner is $45.  Further information and registration are available on the district website.
- Sign-up sheets for the Hill Cumorah concessions are being passed.  Each member is asked to fill 4 shifts at the hill this year, if humanly possible.  Remember that you can fill shifts with family members and friends.  Contact Kim to volunteer.

Bruce Pollock was on hand to talk about his organization, Friends of Educational Excellence (FREE) Partnerships.  FREE Partnerships is an effort to transform schools in the Rochester City School District.  His group matches volunteers to schools in order to work with the students, during the school day.  Currently, 570 volunteers support students in acquiring the skills, knowledge, and attitude they will need to succeed and graduate ready for college.  More information about this organization can be found on their website: www.freepartnerships.org


Wayne Brophy won this week’s 50/50 drawing and donated it back to the club.
