Sargent At Arms

Next up was SAA Joe Moreshead and his crew.  Special thanks was given to President Bill who was the only one applauding – although it still didn’t help his wallet.  Happy Dollars were handed over by PP Ken Farley for running into a former Rotarian, George Burke, at the Arundel Wharf.  Matt Simmons was very happy to be heading out on vacation later in the day with his family & friends.  Craig Pendleton was happy to take PP Don Lauzier to his first Red Sox game in over 35 years.  He didn’t just take him to the game.  They went in a stretch limo and Craig said he bought him a bottle of champagne.  We stopped the happiness there.  Jeremy Ray was happy that Biddeford Little League won the state championship and were heading to Connecticut.  Brian Dallaire gave a thank you dollar for Steve Morin and his TACK sponsorship.  President Bill was happy to be celebrating his 31^st wedding anniversary.  I didn’t hear the amount he donated but I highly doubt he took Jim Audiffred’s advice to donate $1 for each year of wedded bliss.  PP Steve Morin gave a thank you dollar for overhauling the looks of Steve’s business area.  PP Julie gave two dollars for her grandson Trevor starting to walk & getting more babysitting time as the regular sitter was in CT with her son at the baseball championship.  That was enough happiness for one day so the fines started coming:  President Bill was fined for being caught in a lie.  From what I can read of my notes, he had made some comment about paying $25 a week in fines.  I also wrote down that he forgot Brian.  Not sure what the rest of the story is with that.  That’s probably why it’s a good thing to get the minutes typed up as quickly as possible-I may actually remember the story behind my shorthand!  Brian was fined for sending out a reminder for members not to go to the Deep Brook Golf Club this week.  It was actually a good thing he did because President Bill may have been presiding over an empty room.  Diane LeBlanc was fined for her cell phone usage and PE Lucie Kay was also fined for her cell phone and paying in quarters.  Carl Goodwin, Sarah Curley and Susan Gajewski were all asked to stand and then wished a Happy Birthday – costing them a “Happy Birthday” dollar, of course.  Jeremy Ray was fined for having his name in the paper.  Matt Simmons was also fined for being in the paper and also having his suit pants ripped while he was bitten by a dog.  PP Ken was fined for not having PP Karen Chasse’s name listed on the plaque for past presidents.  Steve Morin, Josh Fearon and Rolland (Rollie) Eon were all fined a “welcome back” dollar and Rollie was advised to change his Facebook picture.  I’ll bet the number of hits on his site goes up as everyone checks out his picture!  Bruce Ruben and Alan Nelson were the last in and the last to be fined!
