President Joe Moreshead led us in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the 4-way test led by our visiting Saco Bay Rotarian Elaine Fournier. Famous Actor Mark Nahorney led us in the invocation. President-Elect Fausto Pifferrer introduced visiting Rotarian Haley Thompson who will be transferring from the Belleville Illinois Rotary Club and Assistant District Governor Bob Wester. The 50/50 was won by Laura Warner.
The SAA Matt Simmons made his way to the front of the room with his usual cheery disposition excited to start the fining process.
Happy Dollars – SAA Matt accepted happy dollars from:
· Laura Warner for her winnings.
· Tim Keene announced he brought Needhams for Alicia Girard’s birthday but she didn’t seem to share them as they never made their way around the room.
· Alicia Girard gave her happy birthday dollar before she was fined.
· Chuck Hennessey thanks Susan Gajewski for making him drive her to a meeting.
· Jeremy Ray was happy that his wife, Suzanne, is coming home after a week alone with the kids.
· Rae Smith was thoroughly enjoying her vacation.
· Karen Chasse gave a sad dollar for the theft of her wallet this morning which also meant Jeremy Ray’s school credit card would be cancelled.
· Ray Demers was happy the crime occurred in Biddeford, not Saco.
· Bob Wester was happy to be at our meeting as our AG. He announced that RI is hosting a Sea Dogs Game similar to the one we just held on August 19th if we would like to attend. It is $26 and all you can eat – see the District newsletter for more information.
· Fausto Pifferrer was happy his deck is almost complete and he finally had his property surveyed so the fighting with the neighbors has ended.
· Sue Gajewski loved the TACK was useful and included a President’s Message, minutes and a funny recap by Bill Kany.
Fines– Then SAA Matt handed out fines to:
· President Joe for no flag last week, a to-do list that Matt is sure his wife did for him and we are three weeks into his presidency and there haven’t been any fundraisers yet.
· Bill Kany was fined for his wealth of “helpers” to do the TACK and calling us all the “peanut gallery”.
· Heather MacLean for not knowing the price of things in her store and complaining that her graduation outfit was not cute. In which Matt responded, “Why? Cause it wasn’t skin tight black?”
· Jackson Brown for being a special guest star in a real estate commercial. Those pearly whites are being put to good use.
· Fausto Pifferrer for her photo of wood art. No more needs to be said. You don’t understand? Become his friend on Facebook if you dare to weather the speedy photos.
· Ray Demers for his cop cars side swiping vehicles. Biddeford sounds better now, doesn’t it Ray?
· Sarah Curley’s dress was confusing to Matt. He couldn’t determine if it is was designed by SpongeBob Square Pants or Jimmy Hendrix.
· Jim Godbout for his photo on Facebook with the kids and his balls.
