We all entered to a montage of the Pancake Breakfast pictures, taken by RICK QUAN, being projected on the screen. Awesome!
Upcoming Events:
August 28th; Storyland and Jazz.
October 22nd; Charter Night at Copper River.
Next Week:
July 22nd; The program will be on the Wheelchair Foundation. Bob Bitter, Madera Sunrise, will talk about Rotary wheelchairs taken to Costa Rica.
July 29th; Doyle Daniel – new tax laws- round table discussion by NFR CPAs.
Pins on or shell out:
RALPH BOYAJIAN rang the bell for not having a Rotary pin on. Beware and carry it at all times. You never know who will call you on ‘no pin we win.’ Ring the bell.
Vocational Service:
CHRIS WONG is looking for volunteers to talk about their craft or profession and give the Club a personal portrait of who you are. More better than a written history with attached picture. Sign up and let’s have a go at it.
Pancake Report:
SCOTT LOWE is looking for a hose and red tubs that have gone missing. Ken Takaguichi was sitting at my table but not introduced. LOU SMALDINO stated that 225 runners partook in the runs. MARK BRAGE, FRED BIGLIONE, THE DALES, RODGER JENSEN and BILL DUKE sold all their tickets to the breakfast. They were given chocolate bars by JOHN KRIKORIAN. Financial report is to come.
Visitors:
Half the Fig Garden club made up with us. Judy Case honored our table by walking around the table to introduce herself to each of us. Maybe we could pick that idea up when we do make-ups.
Oddities:
“A person who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.”
PAUL GIBSON had his eyebrows threaded. If you are curious, watch this by opening hyperlink www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIeHYNt-rl4
Traveler:
NICHOLAS SMALDINO, who did introduce Kim this week, along with step son Andrew and girl friend Megan, brought back a small bell from Hawaii. This smaller bell can be used in place of the 1.25 lb brass bell as the’ traveling bell.’ Andrew and Megan were put to work selling the raffle tickets.
Raffle:
JOE MASTRO won some kudos with his daughter’s father-in-law. Number 855555529 happen to be in the F-I-L’s hand. The twirl of the wheel gave him eight dollars; his age minus fifty. What happens when a woman’s twirl lands on that space? She will always owe money; twenty nine minus fifty.
B-Day table:
“I’m not 50. I’m 49.95.”
Speaking of twenty nine, KATIE SIEMENS remembers her sixth grade slumber party as the best soooooo far. ZACH STEVENS harkens back to the party with a refrigerator full of imported beer. Where that beer came from I have no idea. GENEVIE PUENTE fondly remembers her surprise 40 party. JASON WEBER is still in Happy Ville over this year’s Big Party.
Jokes:
“I finally remembered the punch line! But now I forgot the joke.”
ROD GIBSON stated that the Brits have done it again. “Scientists claim to have answered the question that has confounded philosophers for centuries: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
It was, they say, indisputably the chicken.
A team from Warwick and Sheffield universities examined the formation of a chicken’s egg in microscopic detail and discovered that the shell was made from a protein found only in a chicken’s ovaries.
Called ovocledidin-17, the protein acts as a catalyst to speed up the development of the shell.”
CLIFF SPEIGHT told a ‘man joke’ well.
“Diagnostic: Someone who doesn’t know whether there are two gods.”
The Program:
“I started early teaching my kids the value of a dollar. From then on, they demanded their allowances in gold.”
There is no way I can even approach the job of reiterating the content or even the jest of Dr. Shahrokhi’s presentation. He was kind enough to send me the power-point presentation. See below. We need him to come back for a follow up, with a follow up, with another follow up. MURRAY, you done good. All that were not there, you messed up bad.
“An unemployed jester is nobody’s fool.”
