Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:
- Arnie pitched in a dollar for a pitch: Open House & Strawberry Social at the offices of United Professional Advisors and 24 Hr. Helping Hands – Friday 6/8 Noon – 7pm, 127 Cuyler St in Palmyra.
- Mark offered a happy buck for Anne’s excellent work at the district conference.
- Eric gave one for the games Mark and Kim put on at the district conference.
- Kim had a couple, and they involved the above mentioned games:
Joey played a game called Ping-Pong-Toe, which involved bouncing a ping-pong ball into a large cup. Eric won a game called “Junk in the Trunk” which
involved ping-pong balls and a Kleenex box strapped to the back. See? District Conference IS fun!
- Gene contributed a happy buck in honor of the Yankees winning a game, “Finally!”
- Bob Sloan had a nice evening at the District Conference, and hence, a happy buck. Also, he put in another happy buck in recognition of visiting student Adam’s Walter Payton shirt.
- Chase took his family on a trip to Canada. He mentioned a ride which went 100 feet up in the air. His 2-year-old loved it; Mom, not so much.
- Anne happy-bucked for a smooth district conference.
- Leslie offered happy bucks for Julianna being home; last week’s Rotary meeting, run by the interactors, where our contributions raised more than $80 for their club; and for her upcoming outing to see Cirque du Soleil.
- Dave Pray was happy enough to put in a buck while announcing that Betsy will be going to England for the Fall semester.
- Gary Hopkins tells us his daughter’s modified lacrosse team went undefeated, and his son’s team did well.
- Dianne offered her happy buck for a great district conference, where there was enough beer and enough aspirin.

Notes and Updates for the Club:
• RL Concessions sign-ups continue. There are still shifts to fill; weekend shifts especially. Cindy e-mailed the sign-up sheets to all members a couple of weeks ago. If you still haven’t signed up, or can take on additional shifts, please get that info to Cindy ASAP.
• The District Changeover Dinner will be held Wednesday, June 20, at the Inn on the Lake in Canandaigua. More information will be available on the district website.
• Reserve the date - our club’s Changeover Picnic will take place on Wednesday, June 27th, at Gravino Park in Macedon. More details to follow.
• Our Rotary Barn Sale will take place on June 1-3. Drop off donations at the Surlines' barn anytime. Help with pricing is needed on the days before, and help with cleanup the day after would also be appreciated.
• Rotary day at the Bills – the first home games have already sold out. The earliest available game appears to be October 21 vs Tennessee. Eric will send an e-mail to club members to gauge interest.
Joey gave us a slideshow of her time in America, which included pictures of her visits to New York City; the Grand Canyon; Washington, DC; and Orchard Park, NY. It was obvious to all that Joey thoroughly enjoyed her stay here. It was equally obvious that we all enjoyed her stay with us. Oh, and we are all invited to her Super Bowl party on February 3, 2013 at her house in Austria.
