Meeting Notes August 10th

We welcomed back past president Rusty after 6 weeks of missed meetings. In an attempt to lessen his fines he volunteered to sell raffle tickets, and did a great job! Thanks very much for volunteering even if your motives were not 100% pure!

Monique led the 4-Way test and earned the Rotary Coin, Todd and Bernie made a valiant attempt at singing “Volare”; it was very entertaining!

Meeting Notes - August 3th

Thanks to Ed Prieboy for doing the invocation, Rachel Mason for leading the pledge, Steve Yager recited the 4-Way Test (and earned a Rotary coin) and Bernie and Todd for honoring the women of the club by singing “California Girls”. The Beach Boys have no worries about the competition! Anyone who wants to try to earn the Rotary 4-Way Test Coin by reciting the 4-Way test without looking please see President Debbie to get on the schedule.

There were seven lucky people whose names were drawn to give a 15 second commercial about themselves or their business, four of them were not at the meeting and they won a $15 fine for the honor; they are Alyson Drago, Nancy Wilson, Don Tucker, and Rusty Manning. The three who were in attendance were John Dubots of John Dubots Capital Management, a financial planning firm, Tammy Wilson of Oak Grove Center who gave a plea for everyone to vote for their school on August 16th to win a Toyota (fliers at the sign in table) and Jon Lieberg who spent his 15 seconds to promote the 2012 Temecula Challenge which is scheduled for April 21st, he asked everyone to participate in some way.

Meeting Notes - July 27th

Our song master Todd was in great form once again and Mark Van Dinter recited the 4 way test (without looking) to earn the Rotary Coin.

The 15 second commercial drawing resulted in David Lerma telling us about his two businesses – Global Health Insurance which he’s had for 17 years and the newest addition Global Medical Equipment. He has a 4400 square foot showroom in Murrieta where they stock all kinds of medical equipment like scooters, wheelchairs and the like. The second name was Len Francis who was not at the meeting, so Len will pay for his absence next time. OB Johnson was the third person, he said he’s a poor but honest real estate broker, his company is Continental Realty and he’s been a member in our club since 1998.
