President Bill started the meeting off with the Pledge of Allegiance.  Phew! No singing required today!! CJ Dubois-Cote led the 4 Way Test and James Audiffred led the Invocation this week.
 
Today President-Elect Lucie Kay announced our visitors. We had our guest speaker Dr. James Sulikowski from UNE. We also had a visiting Rotarian from Portland, Bowen.
 
This week’s 50/50 totaled $30!!! Dana Lane won and he donated the funds to Jim’s Drug Program.
 
SAA’s Joe Moreshead, Karen Chasse and Keith Jacques were up next for some fun and some fining!
 
We had a few happy people at Rotary… where are the rest of the happy people?!?! Joe Moreshead had a happy dollar because his son turned 30!! Mark had a happy dollar because he sent up his membership application last night (we’ll see you in 2 weeks if you pass inspection!!!) Of course Joe wanted to fine him a dollar because you’re not supposed to talk about your application. Jeremy was happy because he took his son fishing with his Spiderman Pole and he caught a fish!! Peggy was happy with an article that President Bill wrote (hmm... are we brown nosing the President??) Past President Ken was happy he helped his daughters Field Hockey team with a bottle drive. He was impressed with how many bottles they collected and the support from fellow Rotarians. Lucie was happy because she just came back from a fabulous vacation from Niagara Falls. She said there are more people there than at Disney it seems! Karen’s daughter bought her very own first car all by herself! It’s Tan Neon. CJ is happy to be going to Rockport this weekend!!!
 
Onto the fines…Joe fined President Bill because he said board members must do TACK (I’m not a board member!!) But Joe is buying me lunch because he can’t do TACK next week! Keith fined CJ for the 4 way test… she had to read the poster (I read the poster too!!) Karen fined Jim for asking for Coleslaw with lunch. Joe fined Bowen for buying a beer and didn’t offer to buy anyone else a beer. Karen fined Don for destroying her dreams of taking his job since he said he is NEVER RETIRING!!! Joe fined Matt because his Portfolio is on a Roller Coaster ride right now... up and down and all around! Karen fined Keith for saying “Child birth is easy or you wouldn’t keep doing it.” I think he deserved more than a $1 fine, but that’s my opinion J Joe fined everyone who isn’t voting for Donald Trump! Keith fined President Bill for not being able to decide what he wanted to lunch (he has multiple dots on his tag).
