Ed had a couple of jokes.

Correspondence: N/a
Announcements: A dinner for our sponsors is being planned. No firm date yet?
Andy gave a report on the most recent Crab Feed Meeting on Sunday. At this point, it appears our net income will be approximately $42,000. More than $10,000 more than our previous record!
Apparently Bob St. Clair fell and broke his femur. Keep a good thought for him.
Lori Bruhner has agreed to take on the job of Secretary to allow Kim more time to see to family.
Happy Bucks: Ed gave $5(?) in thanks for Gov. Brown, who due to cuts, led Ed to be reassigned to our area during his tenure with Cal Fire/CDF. He also gave $1 in recognition for Herman J's work behind the scenes, and a final $1 for shaving his beard.
Fines: Knud was fined $4 for chatting excessively with ne of our guests. Hans was fined $2 for his purple suede shoes and was made to stand on a chair to give us a good look! Herman G. was recognized for his induction anniversary (time flies)! Brendan was fined $7 for each of his years in Rotary. Soledad was fined $5(?) for her 21st wedding anniversary. Herman J. was fined for apparently taunting Jerry Brown to his face at a recent event.
Raffle: Hans won the drawing but, drew a 5 of spades from the deck.
Program: John Grech and his student guests talked to us about Global Student Embassy. GSE works in three global communities engaging local students in year-round education and action to address climate change, food security and ecological degradation. Reciprocal exchanges connect our students to collaborate on sustainable garden and reforestation projects.
The students showed a slide show of their trip to Nicaragua this past year. This year two students will be returning to Nicaragua and one will be going to Ecuador.
Thought for the Day:
