I always looked at this part of the meeting as kind of a way for those “guilty” for not taking the President on vacation with them, or as a means that they think the Pres is going easy on them, by buying something for the Pres. Well, let’s see what they came up with this w-e-a-k.
 
Greg Desme brought gifts from Minnesota, ah BBQ Sauce, I would think he could have scored if he brought Applesauce, I’m just sayin’. Fine!
 
Sandra Parnell, she gets married at the Coast and buys a Porsche?, think ya better start that fast engine and get sumpin’ quick for the Pres.
 
Dave Spalinger travels to “The Big Apple” livin’ high on the hog, and he presents the Pres with a pink “I Love NY” hat, and a toy President Donald Trump doll? Dave how about a lock of his hair, nah you get arrested for that kind of stuff. Take the club fine.
 
Martha Samora travels all the way to Nashville where her son is in Med School and she brings “rocks”. Do they have rocks there? Are they indigenous or imported? That will be another fine Ms. Samora!  
 
Kay Pitts had a gift too. I was distracted so I can’t remember what it was. It must have been good though. Probably NO FINE. (Note from Kay to Frank– yep, there was a fine, and it is an honor to support our great club. I did take notice that you didn’t offer to cover my fine for me.  Just sayin’)
 
Pat Thompson shoots and he S-C-O-R-E-S. He won the pot. I mean the cash. Congrats Pot, or I mean Pat.
 
Next week we will be graced with the presence of Kern County District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer.
 
Blessings and Peace in Rotary,
