Brags and Fines:

Lou bragged for his diorama display that will be taking place at The Maker's Faire downtown. He also extended an invitation to anyone who wants to see his studio in Chittenden.
Wendy bragged for her time spent at The Republican National Convention. She was seen for a brief moment on Fox News! She had a great time and said Cleveland really surprised her as a nice place and very friendly
Reed bragged for his hike over the weekend
Will bragged for Rutland Young Professionals 3rd anniversary mixer, which happened last week at RRMC. There are 4 RYP board members in our club...Will, Colie, Gwen, and Reed.
Nicole Moran bragged for her son who received his yellow belt in Karate and for the hike he did with his dad up Mount Abe!
 
Announcements:
Krista brought Olaf, the snowman from Frozen, to our club to drive home the search for Anna's owner...Steve Costello found an Anna doll in the middle of Rt 7 and has been searching for her owner high and low.
Reed encouraged folks to support The Rutland County Women's Network and Shelter Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Fundraiser and to consider sponsoring it.
Krista told folks to sign Karen Bartlett's new member form and introduce yourself.
Winter in August will be hosted by our Rotary Club once again grilling up Waffles at The Farmer's Food Center.
The board voted to give $250 to the District's golf Tournament (all proceeds go to Pure Water For The World), $100 to ARC's Holiday party for its members, who may only have this one event to go to during the holidays, and we also gave $100 to Services Rendered, who are hosting a grand re-opening party for "The Chill Center"- a place for youth to hangout without drugs, etc.
 
Raffle:
Over $1,200 in big pot. One of our KMF students, Nadira, won the little pot. Not so lucky on the big one! Although, Maria mentioned that Nadira had just told her before the meeting that she was down to $4 in spending money so I am sure the $30 she won was welcomed.
 
Performance by 3 Killington Music Festival students. 3 girls played. 2 were from NYC and one from Mass. The girls ranged in age from Middle School-Sophomore in High School, so all in all, rather young, BUT INCREDIBLE TALENTED!!! Always a treat to see the ability of these great musicians. Age has nothing to do w/ talent it seems.
