Yes I paid the fine too. (Ed.)

Fines and Happy Dollars:
John Plate took out his whistle, which he stole from that famous T.V. clown, Willie Whistle, and let the crowd know who was in charge. Silence flowed from the first table of fine and happy dollar donors.
Then came Peter McAllister who was happy for his hat trick scoring son. He then paid another dollar for his sleeping in this morning and thinking 8:20 a.m. was really 7:20. Peter showered and shaved and still made it to work in three minutes.
Joe Carroll was happy for the great family day on Easter Sunday.
Gary Sinclair is happy for his and Jan's second anniversary. Used his own cash too.
Jan Sinclair simply threw a buck in the pot.
Bob Murphy found a dollar Shirley missed this morning.
Gretchen Marks is happy for the weather and paid for her early exit.
Joe Long gave a buck to the pot for being late, one just because and one in memory of his grandmother who passed last week. After every visit she'd slide a little boy a dollar so he could get himself an ice cream.
Linda Parker had a happy dollar for her grandson who never sleeps.
Joanne Travers told of the statistics relating to the decrease in the occurrence of hearing problems in newborn kids in the U.S. but a dramatic increase in the Hispanic population.
Harry Martin knows where you live. $2 a week will keep him from your door. IN all seriousness we have a proud record to upkeep in being one of how many 100% Paul Harris clubs in Massachusetts? Know the answer next week and avoid John Plate's axe. Harry had another donation for his grandson story. Seems when the little Martin was helping mom in the kitchen an incident occurred. Not quite 3-year-old William, with mom's help, turned on the blender while mixing ingredients. Startled by the noise he said, "Mommy that makes me nervous". His mom couldn't understand wher he got the expression until she caught herself saying the same thing the next day. Out of the mouths of babes!
Janet Larson is happy to be on the ground again.
Peter McAllister paid another fine for last weeks missing bulletin. Been there done that.

There were no winners today.
