Here are the recognitions from last Friday:

Fine Master Glenn Oyoung began by offering to share a Groupon “2 for 1 Vasectomy” offer; oddly, there were no takers, at least during the meeting.

Frank Griffith, Bob Novell, and Ray Bushnell’s excellent work on the Rotary [Rose Parade] Float project cost them each $100; however Frank Griffith incurred a $5 surcharge for his and Bob Novell’s prolonged description of the annual luncheon held at the Huntington Library for the Major Service Club Presidents. They explained at some length the value of this rare opportunity for these presidents, who are on the road about 300 days a year, to talk to others who share their experience as president of a major world-wide organization.

Phyllis Corliss, a long time “top producer” for Crystal Cruises was recognized at their 25th anniversary gala with a new award for the most loyal agent in their 25 year history! This special and unique recognition cost her $50.

Dick Martinez took friends to Santa Anita on New Years Eve, armed with hot tips from George Fasching to guarantee his out of town visitors a winning experience. The 3 sure winners placed 5th, 7th, and “donation to the glue factory” respectively. Perhaps in sympathy for his losses, Dick was only fined $2.
