Frank Griffith provided the Finemaster with a photograph purported to be connected to David Hu in some fashion.  David did not recognize the building, apparently in Japan, so he was fined $50.  Frank was fined $40 for the unconnected photo.

President Brad Miller was recognized, with no fine attached, for a newspaper photo touting Arcadia Rotary’s work at Camp Trask.

Tom Crosby’s wife was mentioned in the paper as joining the Shakespeare Club, resulting in a recognition for Tom of $30.  Tom added that his daughter had also joined the club, increasing the recognition to $45.

Member classifications resulted in the final two fines of the day:  Roger Grant was fined $40 for his classification of “Wealth Management” on the grounds that he must have money available.  Then Art Killian was called upon to explain his classification of “Screw Machines,” which earned him a fine of $25.
