President Joe Moreshead led us in the Pledge of Allegiance (with no flag as we were outside and set-up crew forgot to get it) followed by the 4-way test led by an enthusiastic Alicia Girard (again, no flag).  Conrad Welzel led us in a great invocation that he conveniently pulled out of his wallet. President-Elect Fausto Pifferrer introduced guest Morgan Stoner (and then giggled as if someone just said fart) and Rotarian guest Haley Thompson from the Belleville Illinois Rotary Club.  The 50/50 was won by Jeremy Ray who graciously donated it back to the club. 

 

 

President Joe then revealed this year’s SAA (drum Roll)… Matt Simmons – back at it again!

 

Happy Dollars – SAA Joe accepted happy dollars from:

·         Susan Gajewski was happy to be back from the Wyoming Dude Ranch vacation (I think she meant to say sad dollar) and Andy Grief told her she should go because he worked there as a young man.  She highly recommends we all go to a Dude Ranch!

·         Joe Moreshead gave $5 happy dollars for his appreciation for the board and club.

·         Brenda Pollock’s granddaughter is healing well.

·         Conrad Welzel for the 4th of July celebrations and living in America.

·         Mark Nahorney gave a shameless plug for the July 19th opening of seeing him in a dress – get your tickets now!

·         Joe Bassett for sending his family back home (feel the love?) and meeting his great granddaughter for the first time.

·         Karen Chasse for her recent birthday and peaceful vacation at Jeremy Ray’s place Downeast thanks to his donation to our Rotary Auction.

·         Bernice Wood for her son coming home for China for nine days.

 

Fines– Then SAA Matt handed out fines to:

·         Alicia Girard because she went to the happiest place on earth and didn’t give a happy dollar.

·         Joe Moreshead for not knowing who the District Governor is despite his many high and mighty dinners with the Rotary Leadership prior to taking over as President.

·         Sue Gajewski for giving Matt grief for missing the Board meeting when he isn’t even a Board member anymore.

·         Jeremy Ray for sucking up to President Joe by wearing his “Joe-inspired” shorts (visual for those not there – salmon).

·         Heather MacLean for not paying attention at meetings and missing Joe’s banana hat moment.

·         Fausto Pifferrer for going from banana hat to banana hammock and giggling during introducing the guest whose last name was Stoner.

·         Lucie Kay for directing Joe Moreshead when she could barely run the meetings when she was President.  Also for a FB post that notes YCFCU is hiring and for some reason she has a big “X” marks the spot on her chest in the photo.

·         Guest Haley Thompson for ditching her duties as President of the Belleville Illinois Rotary Club five weeks early to relocate to a job at Thornton Academy.
