Well here we are once again receiving the TACK via plain old fashioned e-mail.  Our webmaster Guro, Brian Dallaire, is off to the North Pole to see if he can finally answer little Virginia’s ever popular question, “Is there a Santa Clause?” 
 
TACK Coordinator/Reporter for the month of August is Emily Frechette.  Joe Moreshead will take over for the month of September.
 
President Bill promptly started the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance.  Past President Frank Gooding led the 4 Way Test and the Invocation was provided by Joe Bassett.
 
We had the pleasure of a visit from Past District Governor and treasured member of our club, Ron Drouin.  President Bill put him right to work selling the 50/50 raffle tickets!  PDG Ron asked club members to join him in “trying” to support President Bill as best we can.
 
President-Elect Lucie Kay announced visiting guests and Rotarians.  Rotarians Bruce Fisher from the Ellsworth Club and today’s speaker, Shari Storm, from the Emerald City Club (Seattle) were both welcomed.  They each did an exchange of club banners with President Bill.  We also welcomed Peter Mourmoras, a guest of Jim Godbout.
 
The 50/50 ticket was drawn by PDG, Ron Drouin.  He had our lovely speaker, Shari Storm, read the winning number and then Past President Roland Gagne collected his $36.00 prize minus the 10% going back to the club, of course.
 
SAA’s Joe Moreshead, Karen Chasse and Chris Indorf were up next for some fun and some fining!
Not sure exactly happened with Chris.  I believe he had a very late arrival and kicked in $5.00 which he borrowed from his boss, Jeremy Ray.  PP Denis Elie was happy for his trip to Hershey Park and his last equipment trade show in Chicago.  He was also happy for Joe being able to cover his front desk duty.  Visiting Rotarian Bruce Fisher was happy to be enjoying his first vacation in 6 years in OOB.  Andy Grief was happy (I think) to be going away for the next month.  Visiting guest, Peter Mourmoras, was happy to have received a free lunch from Jim Godbout. President Bill was fined for killing a multitude of trees while printing several copies of the District Newsletter.  PP Karen Chasse fined PP Ken Farley for being on vacation after his presidency and showing off his “athletic prowess” (picture provided).  Joe fined PP Karen for her name in the paper but he didn’t fine her for her white “first communion dress”.  Karen fined Andy for not knowing that it is okay to go “over 5” when not travelling in Biddeford.  Joe fined Jim Godbout for making the society page.  Karen fined Joe for his long sleeve shirt and long hair in VERY hot weather.  Joe  fined everyone in the room $1 if they had not already signed up for the Alzheimer Walk or had not already donated.  Karen fined PE Lucie for signage showing the goals for loans and new accounts that looked like it was colored with crayons. PP Steve Morin was fined a buck and advised by Joe to give his shorts back.  Karen fined PP Roland Gagne for ripping decks off and then rebuilding.
