The Finemasters are working hard to make sure recognitions are had by all.

Matt Weaver was recognized for his new grandson Maverick, 7 pounds 11 ounces born at 11:30pm Saturday, just after the District Governors social.  For his great accomplishment, Matt was fined $150.

Eric Barter has a new item in his life, a Jaguar.  He wanted to drive his last car off a cliff, it had 220,000 miles on it, instead he gave it to his sister.   Eric was fined $100 for his new used Jaguar.

Bob Novell was asked to explain his lack of eyelashes.  He explained that during the District Governors barbecue on Saturday he turned on the gas to the barbecue and then went to get a match, the match completed the ignition process with great results.  He was thankful for wearing glasses to protect his eyes.  He was fined $50 and said he is glad to be with us now.

Jim Rider was recognized for his new partner.  A new pacemaker was implanted on his right side.  The old ticker had served its’ time.  He was fined $50.  He said he would add it to his hospital bills.

Don Chang has just returned from a cruise to Spain and Portugal for two weeks, that was worth $25 per country for a fine of $50.

Rob Post was recognized for his poster of a tri-chamber mixer at his business Post Alarm in Arcadia, on August 19th.  $60 was the fine.

Andrea “Andy” Bundesmann was asked to participate in “60 Seconds to Recognition” she was given a bucket and a box full of Kleenex, she had to empty the box in 60 seconds using just one hand.  Jack Pan was the timer.  She performed with precision to complete the task with 8 seconds to spare to forgo a fine.  Good job Andy and good sport.

Jack Pan will have two changes in his life.  First, he is getting married sometime in October/November in Virginia, and Second, he is moving to Washington DC to work for “The Department of State”.  He has made his best friends in Rotary both here and in Alhambra.  He will be assigned to foreign countries for two years at a time.  He was fined $50.

David McMonigle announced that we are bringing back the Knife & Fork Award.  It is an honor one can qualify for by only attending the Luncheon each week with no other Rotary activity.  David was one of the first recipients.  He is very proud to have his name on the plaque.  There may even be a T Shirt for recognition.  Perhaps the T Shirt could be  washed and passed on each.  More info to come.
