- Gretchen Marks paid to announce that the club is selling the left over FFC Road Race T-Shirts for $5 each
- Joanne Travers made a contribution to tell us about a book Over 50 can be golden , as 94 year old Marion Downs contends. At 90, she went sky diving, played in a national tennis tournament and won, entered and won a mini triathlon. She keeps strong by walking (once a 3 mile jog at age 60-70-80), and lifting weights!!! ...even if we're on 20 meds, smoked at one time, and ache every morning when we rise!
- Linda Parker produced a stream of bills while welcoming TBM's newest members and announcing that she had completed her certification in Trauma Intervention! CONGRATULATIONS!
- Steve Mooney paid and commented that it took only 4 years to become a Rotarian..I think we should fine him for taking so long.
- Bernie Creeden paid while agreeing that ripe 'ole ages of 98 can happen! A 98 year old friend is having her first public ART SHOW ; my how old age cultures us.
- Oscar Padjen paid to announce the Northeastern loss by 2pts...boo! He's hoping they pull a win next week.
- Janet Larsen gave some bills to Spencer and announced that Sovereign Bank is HEALTHY! She also quelled the rumor and made it clear that she does not have to take spanish classes.
Anyway, welcome new members and congratulations is given to the Middleton Rotary Club of Greater Manchester, England; their 75th anniversary.
