Rich Carlson was fined by Mike Coppinger for his recent feature in a local publication mentioning his green thumb. Rich starts his plants in Dairy Queen containers, even though Vt has no DQ's.

Robyn bragged her son is now a teenager

Nick went to Myrtle Beach with his son's for 3 days of golf. Terrible weather there, unfortunately

It was Rich Carlson's Birthday AND Maria's as well. Happy Birthday to the both of you!!!

Gary bragged for his son and his hockey team. They have really come together as a team and won a tournament in Burlington recently.

Will passed his background check for the Boys N Girls Club. (hard to believe, right?)

 

Will said "Get started on your background checks for the Boys N girls club asap. Also, April 25th, THIS SATURDAY, is Comcast Cares Day at the Brandon Parent Child Center and we need volunteers. Lunch is served and schedule is 10-2.  Also, Rotary Park Clean-up is right around the corner as well.

Krista gave a prize to Mark Price for turning in SIXTY!!!! raffle tickets. a $15 Dunkin Donuts gift card

Lou said that Buddha really had it right when he said, "There is no reality, only an illusion." Mike thought Lou was looking for a clean roommate, but Lou was actually looking for someone to clean his house. Funny stuff.

Barb has tickets for the Kentucky Derby party at Southside to benefit The Chafee. Tickets are $50 a piece.

 

Win Thomas won the raffle of $26, but drew the seven of Spades

 

Sonia Gave update on Relay For Life: The event is held on June 20th at the Fair Grounds. Rachel, Will and Sonia are the Captains of our team. Last year, the club raised $1,895 and were awarded the "rising star" accolade. We plan on beating that this year. Please sing up online asap.

 

Chuck Rose Paul Harris Fellow Induction: Congratulations, Chuck! As a Paul Harris Fellow, you have demonstrated through your actions and generosity that you indeed do hold service above self. Thank you for you support of Rotary and those we all help to serve.
