President Bill started the meeting off with the Pledge of Allegiance.  Phew! No singing required today!! Karen Chasse led the 4 Way Test and Joe Bassett led the Invocation again this week.
 
Today President-Elect Lucie Kay announced our visitors. We had our guest speaker Past Assistant Governor Marty Helman. We also had a visitor, Mark from UNE.
 
Past Assistant Governor Marty drew the 50/50. Elaine Palmitessa won $24 which she kindly donated to the Alzheimer’s Walk.
 
SAA’s Joe Moreshead, Karen Chasse and Denis Elie were up next for some fun and some fining!
 
We had a lot of happy people in our little Rotary Group today!!! Joe Bassett was happy his grandson came home safely from Japan.  Fausto’s daughter turned 5!! I’m not sure if this was a happy dollar or an angry dollar, but Ruben bought a boat…and pardon my language but it was said multiple times… a shit brown 1978 Buick LeSabre. Fausto would like to thank Joe for the boat because it was purchased after Ruben and Joe had lunch. Fausto is going to buy Ruben a pimp hat, coat, etc to go along with his new car. Below is a picture in case you didn’t know what it looked like!

Karen had a happy dollar! She is finally recovering from 2 girls’ night’s sleep over. Not a lot of sleep to be had in that household last weekend! Bernice was happy that her son made it back to Beijing safely! Paul Deschambault had a guilty dollar… he followed Past President Ken’s instructions on sharing the Facebook event for the Celebration of Suds. He received numerous nasty messages from family because it’s the same day as his nephew’s wedding. Whoops! Past Assistant Governor Marty Helman gave a happy dollar because she was happy to be part of our Rotary Group today.
 
Onto the fines… Joe was a little upset no one was in the paper this week. He did however find Will Kany in the paper so President Bill had to pay the fine. Karen pointed out that President Bill signed up for the Alzheimer’s Walk but has yet to donate. Denis fined Fausto for his red shorts – why didn’t anyone fine Joe for his yellow shorts??? Karen fined Diane for not showing up at the front desk. Denis fined Past President Ken for not knowing the difference between Bank and Band. Joe fined Matt Early for being late and then announcing he was late – apparently his last name means nothing. Karen fined Past President Ken for hurting President – Elect Lucie’s feelings because he only asked for Bank sponsorships. What is wrong with a Credit Union? Joe fined the entire group if you have not signed up to walk in the Alzheimer’s Walk. Scooters also had to pay $2.
 
President Bill then thanked Sarah for coming to the meeting right from Prom.  He also thanked Emily for taking on the TACK as a new member. There was a small amount of pressure to make it fun... I hope I did okay!!
